EXPLOSIVE INFO  
             ==============  
  
  WHEN PETROLEUM JELLY AND POTASSIUM  
CHLORATE ARE MIXED IN A ONE TO ONE  
RATIO BY WEIGHT, IT MAKES A TOTALY SAFE  
WET COMPOUND BUT WHEN DRIED IT BECOMES  
HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE AND SHOCK SENSITIVE.  
  
  MIX 3 GRAMS OF POTASSIUM IODIDE AND 5  
GRAMS OF IODINE IN A BEAKER WITH 50 ML  
OF WATER. THEN ADD 20 ML OF AMMONIUM  
HYDROXIDE [AMMONIA WATER 10%]. FILTER  
THIS SUBSTANCE AND THE RESULTING SOLID  
IS CALLED NITROGEN TRIIODIDE. WHEN THIS  
IS WET IT IS SAFE, BUT WHEN DRY BECOMES  
VERY EXPLOSIVE AND SHOCK SENSITIVE.  
  
 (TO SET OFF ABOVE EXPLOSIVES, PUT THE  
MIXTURE ON OR IN SOMETHING THE DROP IT  
SORT OF LIKE AN IMPACT BOMB. IT, LIKE  
A HAND GRENADE, WILL EXPLODE ON CONTACT  
WITH ANOTHER OBJECT.)  
  
 FOR GREAT SMOKE BOMBS, MIX 4 PARTS  
SUGAR AND 6 PARTS POTASSIUM NITRATE  
(SALT PETER) AND HEAT IT OVER A LOW  
FLAME UNTIL IT MELTS. STIR WELL, THEN  
POUR IT INTO A CONTAINER YOU DON'T NEED  
.  
BEFORE IT SOLIDIFIES, PUT A FEW MATHES  
ON THE SURFACE AS FUSES. ONE POUND OF  
THIS SUBSTANCE WILL FILL A BLOCK NICELY  
WITH THICK WHITE SMOKE.

HERE IS AN ADDITION TO THE FILE ON EX-  
PLOSIVES IN THE GENERAL SECTION.  
   
NITROGLYCERIN:  
   
*CAREFULLY* MIX EQUAL AMOUNTS OF NITRIC  
ACID AND SULPHURIC ACID TOGETHER IN A   
GRADUATED CYLINDER OR OTHER TALL, THIN  
CONTAINER.  
SLOWLY ADD ORDINARY GLYCERIN AND STIR   
VERY LIGHTLY.  
WAIT A WHILE, AND POUR OFF THE LIQUID   
ON THE TOP. THIS LIQUID IS NITROGLYCERI  
N, AND SHOULD BE HANDELED WITH CAUTION.  
WASHING IT WITH SODIUM CARBONATE WILL  
IMPROVE THE PURITY.
