INTRODUCTION 5 "Magante"; TNT, 30 per cent; lead nitrate, 70 per cent. „ "Donarite"; TNT, 12 per cent; col.cot. 0.2 per cent; ammonium nitrate, 80 per cent; flour, 4 per cent; nitroglycerine, 3.8 per cent. Dinitrotoluene is also used in conjunction with other materials as an explosive. One such mixture is " Cheddite-02." The analysis of the mixture is: DNT, 15 per cent; potassium chlorate, 79 per cent; mononitronaphthalene, 1 per cent; castor oil, 5 per cent. One further mixture deserves mention because of the use of DNT and TNT in the mixture. This explosive is called " triplastite." The analysis is: Mixture of DNT and TNT, 70 per cent; col.cot., 1.2 per cent; lead nitrate, 28.8 per cent.
CHAPTER II HISTORICAL SOME doubt exists as to whom the honor of the discovery of toluene is due. Dr. W. Wilson in an article dated 1850, (1) gives the credit of the discovery to Deville, a French chemist, who obtained from balsam of tolu a compound to which he ascribed the name " benzoen." From the above article, Deville evidently did not analyze the " benzoen " but arbitrarily assigned to it the formula CuHie. Beilstein and Kuhlberg, in their " Eleventh Treatise on Isomers of the Toluene Series/' (2) give the honor to Pelletier and Walters, also French chemists, who obtained an oil from the distillation of pine resin, and from which oil they separated a liquid which they called " retinaptha." Their description of this liquid is this: " It is a very clear liquid, . . . boiling at 108° C, and it is not completely solidified at —20°. The results of three analyses indicate the formula C7H8." (This is just half the molecular formula given by Deville to his substance.) " One could also give the formula CuHie, but there is no definite ground for such a statement. In fact, the vapor density is 3.23— the vapor density corresponding to the formula C7H8 would be 3.226." From this statement it would seem that Pelletier and Walters were already aware that a substance of the
