NEW GREEK FIRE MARVEL
OF NAVAL EXPERIMENTS
Water or Chemicals Fail to Extin.
guish Death Dealer

BERLIN May 14.--A short time ago. as we
learn naval circles, says the Borsen Courier.
the emperor witnessed demonstrations with
terrible means of warfare which is likely to
be of great Importance in future naval battles.
1t is a new kind of so-called Greek fire that
has been invented by a German officer. 1t
differs from the old Greek fire in that 1t
is not employed in the incendiary shells by
which ships were once upon time de-
stroyed. but is poured out on the water and
directed against hostile vessels. The fluid
which occasions this fire. and the compost
ton of which will not be disclosed is ot
such a kind that it floats on the water, and
it is impossible to extinguish the flames.
In experiments at which the emperor was
present, and which took place in the Tegel
and White Lakes, all kinds Of extinguishing
materials were used to destroy this new
Greek fire, but neither water nor any chemical
means had the slightest success. Similar
means, based upon the same principle, We're
used by the English and Spanards in former
times, and by the Japnese in the last srsat
war.
Fluid which can be directed" over the sur
face of the water over the distances which
separate hostile fleets in modern naval battles
is certainly a wonderful discovery. 1t is
interesting in this connection, that something
which otherwise answers 10 the description OF
the Borsen Courier publicly exhibited as
a pyrotechnic display last summer on the
White Lake, which is in the northern suburb

FLAMES AND FLOOD FAIL
TO DRIVE OUT BULLDOG
Canine Sticks to Post Despite
Firemen and Master

CLEVELAND, o., May 14.-Neither
clouds of suffocating smoke nor streams
from the firemen's hose could make
Kip. a bulldog belonging to DR.. F. l..
Lewis, leave its post when the doctor s
barn at 1898 Denivon avenue, 8. W.,
was badly damaged by the fire last
night.
A short time before the fire started
Isaac Jones, an employe of the doctor,
found the animal running about the
yard, and chased it back into the barn.
While the family was at supper Mrs.
Lewis looked out of the window and
discovered flames on the roof of the
barn. She called her husband and an
alarm was sent in
DR.. Lewis with Jones hurried to the
barn, hauled out the auto and then led
out the horses. The dog growled onni-
nously, and the smoke pouring into the
room drove the would-be rescuers out.
The firemen then tried their streams of
liquid persuasion. but Kip only lodged
and ducked and growled.
Long after the fire was extinguished
and the firemen had gone away some
one in the house answered noise on
the back porch. and opening the door
found bedraggled dog. Kip had
decided that the back porch offered bet
ter sleeping quarters than the barn.

MOTOR TRIAL TEST

The Chicago Automobile clubs con-
test board has decided to schedule Tor
early September a commercial car con-
test in which it will be the aim TO
demonstrate to the business world the
feasibility of motor transportation.
While the plans are in only a tenta-
tive form at the present time, it is in
tended to make the test a most exact
ing one, including several long dis
tance trips to adjacent cities in which
real road conditions will figure, and a
record of the gasoline and oil con-
sumption will be kept, as well as tire
wear. A circular letter recently sent
to the makers of commercial cars in
this country produced such good re-
suits that the club feels confident 1t
will be an easy matter to secure
large entry list for it's fall test.
