New war Invention.

thus describes the destructive inventions to

The new inventions for the more rapid
destruction of human beings which the war

while these new and terrible machines were
being constructed and Experimental upon,
and no knowledge Of their existence was
permitted until now called forth by actual
service. Many years ago, the Eogish gov
ernment had a proposition before them 10
adopt Wagner's floating gun, and hesilaied.
A member Of Parliament exclaimed. N'FIe
demands but o,00opounds. and ye, you

change. We hope, however, they will agree
10 i, They are now considerably advanced
