Queer Devices for Use in Warfare.

Now while war is going on the pro- life brain of the inventor is busy de- Yising ways in which to speedily an nihilate the enemy. One ingenious in- dividual, an Englishman, suggests a 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 a very dense fog, wrapping everything near it in haze until blown away by the wind. He argues that this would be a most efficacious method of prevent ing the Boers from aiming at English troops.
