The Eastern Ghats were early known to the "Iberians," as shown by the Sierra del Crystal, del Sal, del Sal Nitro and other names, probably so called from the abundance of quartz in blocks and veins that seam the granite, as we shall see in the Congo country, and possibly because they contain rock crystal.
No! that won't do either. "Use nitro. You can get it from the Horton shaft. They have to use it there to blast the slate." "That's what we'll do, 'sonny. Just lie still 'til you hear the bang, then you can get up and dance, for the Police will be blown to pieces." Sister Martha waits for no further details. Her plan of action is decided upon. She knows every foot of ground in the mountains.
With a true explosive, such as gun-cotton, nitro glycerine and its compounds, detonation and conversion of the whole into gas are practically instantaneous, whatever the size of the mass; while, with gunpowder, only the exterior of the grain or lump burns and gives off gas, so that the larger the grain the slower the combustion. The products consist of liquids and gases.
