The effect Of electricity on projectiles
while in fight has been illustrated by
some recent trials Of the Swiss army
rife. During this trial strange de-
lectlons OF the bullets were noticed
that could not be accounted for until
Il vas discovered that an electric line
paralleled the range. Experiments
were made BY building a line Of four
steel cables the full length Of the
range. $50 feet. and about 40 feet from
Il. When these cables carried heavy
current Of electricity the lateral denec-
llcn for this distance was abou. 20 feet.
For a longer range the detection was
much increased; with artillery and a
range Of 1000 feet. the detection from

enormous amount Of II degrees. Il IL
