The Home Office (says an English paper are busy experimentalising on a harmlesslooking jelly, which, notwithstanding itsinnocent appearance, mitfhtmnlceconsiderable commotion m the household if by any hccis dent it got among a good wife's jam-po's, for its qualities are not so much those of a " preserve" as a destroyer. This jelly is panclastite, the " all smasher, " whose ex- ( plosive powers are such that they put dyna- , mite altogether m the shade.
