A mens trace of steam a luixtui'o of oxygen and carbonic oxide explosive, 'i'iie sleiim lUidergoes a srries of alternate reductions and oxidations, acting as a 'carrier of oxygen' to the carbonic ( xide. A\'itli a verv small quantity of steam, the oxiilation of carbonic oxide takes ])lac(! slowly. As the (piantity of steam is increased, the raj)idity of the exjilosion increases.
