The Paris Eclair announces that an
absolutely stable smokeless powder has
been discovered and is now at the
service of the French army and navy
Chemical agents, heat. excessive cold
humidity, light and Herzian waves
have no effect upon this powder, which
can only be fired by special detonator.
The discovery, the Eclair says, is the
outcome of researches made in the
state laboratories under M. vieille,
which were set on foot Immediately
after the explosion which destroyed the
lena and for which the deterioration of
the powder B was held respQnsible.
