The word "explosion" is variously used in ordinnry speech, and is not one that admits of exact definition. Every combustion of on explosive substance, whereby other property is ignited and consumed, wou not be an "explo- sion," within the ordinary meaning of the term. it is not used as a synonym of "comhustion." An explosion may be described generally as a sudden nnd rapid comhustion, causing vioient expansion of the air, and accompanied by a repnrt But the rapidity of the combustion, the violoure of the expansion, and the vehemence of the report vary in intensity as often as the occurrences muitiply. Hence an explosion is an idea of degrees: and the true meaning of the word. in each particuiar case, must he settled. nnt by ztny fixed standard or accurate measurement, but by the common experience and notions of men in matters of that sort.
