HOW BLOODY WAR MAY BE

FILLS THE AIR WITH VAPOR

From a Powerful Projectile
Into the Enemy's Ranks

The action Of King Menelik in send
ing an ambassador to Russia bearing
gifts Of fruit and gold and messages of
love and esteem, has set the French and
Turkish powers at rest regarding the fu-
ture movements of that monarch. But
1t has made Germany feel uncertain.
The Germans are always first in war
and last in peace. Their record, a glori-
Gus one, is that Of cleverness in warfare
and undying enmity. They are fire
friends and firm foes. In no country has
warfare reached the high stage of de-
velopment which it has attained in Ger
many. The most powerful battleships
and the greatest guns ever built have
gone into the kaiser's realm.
Not content with all these, Germany
has now called in her medical force to
assist her in the device of war. Ger
many, the home of medicine, has become
the originator Of war weapon, which,
working, as it does, upon the human sys-
tenn, will prove the most formidabl ever
projected upon field of battle.
If this new weapon proves as success
full as the German chemist who invented
1t says it will, 1t may convert warfare
into peace. To be more plain, it may do
away with all wars and unite nations
by methods that are wholly pacific.

ready arrangements are being made for
the manufacture Of number of balloons
intended solely for military experiments.
1t may not be generally known, but 1t
is fact that for a long time past the
English war office has been collecting
everything possible which might be of
use to the army officers detailed for bal
loon experiments. In consequence of
this the new corps will begin work with

result in the production of an air ship
for military purposes which may give
to England's armies as great prowess
as that now enjoyed by her navy.
There is only one drawback to the use
Of balloons for military purposes and
that is the wind. When there is gale of
over twenty miles aa hour the balloon
would be valueless for the reason that
it is impossible to control it sufficiently
to enable the necessary calculations by
the artillerists in launching the eX-
plosives. OF course, other atmospheric
conditions have more or less of an in
fluence, but the wind being favorable
all other difficulties can be overcome.
In view of this settlement of long
mooted question, it is interesting to note
that it is just 103 years since the first
attempt was made to utilize balloons
for military purposes. In 1894, during
the French revolution, an aerostatic in
stitution was formed at Meudon, near
Paris. for training a corps of "aeros-
tiers" for the purpose of observing the
operations of the enemy with the aid
of balloons. A balloon. under the man.

low? An attack from without can be
repelled, but an attack from the air
renders the victim almost helpless.
The flight of cannon ball or shell in
a perpendicular direction is far differ
ent from that taken in horizontal or
semi-circular fashion. Again, guns are
not made for firing into the heavens, and
that is what practically 1t would be nec-
the balloon. The ordinary rifle bullet
would not seriously injure the air ship.
especially one constructed for war pur-
poses and which would be prepared for
exactly such attacks. Nothing less in
size than grape shot would be danger
Gus.
The principal fact which the war bal
loonists take into consideration, how
ever, is that even il their air ship should
be struck by cannon ball it would not
necessarily mean death to them, be-
cause frequent experiment has proven
that when the reservoir of balloon
bursts that the rigging and the basket
act much as does a parachute, the re-
suit being that the aeronauts would not
strike the earth with sufficient force to
injure them, at least under ordinary
circumstances. OF course, if they should
drop into a fort or a beleaguered city
they would be taken prisoners. but that
is far from being the horrible death
which most persons unfamiliar with the
subject believe would be the fate of the
occupants of the basket Of a balloon
should the reservoir thereof be destroyed
in midair.
The Lydd experiments were witnessed
by the ordnance board of Woolwich and
so great was the impression produced
upon the members that upon CONSUL

LONDON. Oct. a5.-(special Core

LONDON, Oct. 25.-(Special Corre-
spondence to The Herald.) The English
government has demonstrated that the
balloon in warfare can be made COM
pletc success. Experiments just con-
cluded at Lydd have shown that explo-
sives can be accurately thrown from
balloons at any desired height and the
discharge thereof regulated by means
Of an electric coil.
It really seems as II after more than
one hundred years of experiment the
balloon would prove as valuable an ad-
junct to an army as the artillery itself.
The balloon used in the Lydd expert
ments had a capacity Of TO- 900 cubic feet.
It rose to a distance Of 1900 feet from
the earth, at which point the expert
ments were made. At first dummy shells
were used, the idea being to see how
accurately they could be launched in
a certain position. The projection of the
explosive took place in the air just above
the position aimed at, this being as ef-
fective for the purpose of the expert
menus aS IL the SIlell were Ia duiSiSu NPoii
buildings in position in the camp with
the resultant damage.
It was marvellous to observe the ac-
curacy with which the projectiles were
dropped. So nicely have the air cur
rents been calculated in point of We
locity that when the balloon operator
launched the shell he does so in such
manner that the explosive will reach
the objective point on the earth below
with scarcely the variation of foot.

ments, knowing the fate in store for
them, might be brought to terms without
the aid of arms, and SO the anesthetic
bomb would be a missile of peace.
The progress of anesthetics is one of
the most interesting studies of medical
history. 1t is only within the memory
of the oldest living generation that peo-
pie were made drunk before being ope-
rated upon. There was no known drug
that would put the senses to sleep with
out injuring the body. Then came
laughing-gas, that comedy of anesthet-
les. Afterwards followed ether, and
The herald., 1897-11-07

then came the adaptation of chloroform
and ether to the cone. AneStheSia is
now the commonest of medical phenom-
ena, and is in such constant use that
even the laymar does not hesitate to
employ it. The idea of adapting it to the
army is not difficult one. The novelty
lies in the thought, which is certainly
new.
1t is no more remarkable to consider
the use Of this bomb than to spend thou
sands experimenting with gunpowder,
and if the German chemists carry it to
full perfection there is a big life-saving
possibility for it. JAMES BARTON.

France has always heretofore been
the pioneer in the matter of war balloon
experiments. During the Franco-Prus-
sian war balloons were made of great
use, although not for the purpose of
launching explosives. The present de-

tions, but it was impossible for them
to know the positions of the troops with
in or exactly what points at which the
shells could produce the greatest exc
cution. BY the use of balloons this
difficulty is entirely remedied. With a
powerful glass the aerial artillerists
can determine just where the explosives
should be dropped to produce the most
dire effect. What naturally would fol-

decided to organize at once a balloon
corps, the members of which shall de-
vote themselves to the study of balloons
and their use in time of war. This corps
will consist of six men of the British
army, men to whom natural taste and
inclination have given a bent toward
the science of aerostation.
This balloon corps in England will be
the pioneer of a series of similar corps

This weapon is bomb which can be
fired from any large projectile. The
bomb is of thin material, only strong
enough to hold the light fluid contained
in it. On being fired from the gun it
flies into the air until it reaches a con-
siderable height, where it explodes and
sends its contents down upon the enemy.
Inside the bomb there is a strong anes-
thetic mixture which acts upon the
senses like chloroform. 1t puts the enc
my to sleep and the soldiers over whom
the spray falls drop to the ground as
though under the influence of a hyp-
motto spell. The strongest can only
stagger moment under the influence of
it's odor.
The anesthetic does not kill, it simply
stupefies. The soldier falls to the ground
and lies there unconscious for period
varying from five to fifteen minutes.
Then he rises feebly and staggers around
deathly Sick but alive and awake. The
strongest man cannot recover his equi-
librium under an hour after partaking
of the gas, and the average soldier,
weakened by hunger and exposure,
would be wreck for a day; his nerve
gone and his power lost.
The bomb mixture is a secret, but it
is probable that it contains either chloro-
form or ether, and possibly both. 1t may
also have a dash of cocaine. These are
compressed to the greatest extent, ana
the bombs are filled with them. The
largest size bombs are used and they are
fired as close to the enemy as possible.
They explode an instant after firing,
and the air is filled with heavy anes-
thetic vapor.
ARMIES PUT TO SLEEP
The possibilities of this mode of war
fare are too bewildering to contemplate.
If the German army We're able to put
the army of England to sleep, it could
walk over the PROSTATE bodies of the
unfortunate soldiers and capture city
after city and stronghold after strong
hold. They could project bombs into
England's warships, and while captain
and crew We're lying senseloss, could
board them and place the English sailors
in chains. 1t would offer infinite posi-
bilities for the capturing of prisoners,
and would enable the army to take the
entire regiment and walk into the en-
emy's quarters.
1t is an admitted fact that most wars
would be avoided could the heads of the
governments discuss the situation with
out heat. With this big and powerful
