tn. Nev Tracer Shell.

The artillery forces at Fort Riley are
experimenting with a new shell fitted
with what is known as the Semple
tracer. THIS tracer Is a small cylinder
at the base OF the shell, filed with a
composition which is ignited by the
discharge Of the gun.
In burning It traces the trajectory OF
the shell from the gun to the point OF
fall. 1t furnishes a quick means Of de-
termining range at night. Travelling at
about 1000 feet a second, the shells
have the appearance Of comets. AT
the point OF the fall the tracer leaves
the shell and shoots straight up into
the air about 100 feet and then, turn.

q shooting star over the spot where the
shell strikes.-Junct1on City union.
