,,veer Devices for Use in Warfare.

Now while war is going on the pros fife brain of the inventor is busy de- yisfng ways in which to speedily an- nfhilate the enemy. One ingenious in- dividual, an Englishman, suggests mist or fog ball with which to envelop an antagonist in impenetrable dark ness. The balls are easily broken spheres, containing ammonia and acids, which, on escaping, create very dense fog, wrapping everything aear it in a haze until blown away by the wiLd. He argues that this would be a most efIicaeiods method of prevent ing the Boers from aiming at English troops. Another proposes to blind the foe by firing into their midst bullets filled with pepper-thus doing double good work, both disabling the enemy and increasing the consumption of our colonial produce.

His attire is in keep ing with his situation and eireum- stances.
