ROCK SALT FOR MODS

1t has been suggested that
something less deadly than leaden
bullets should be used by our
troops against rioters. 1t has
been suggested that bullets might
be made Of sawdust and grease,
but this il altogether impractic-
able. as such bullets would simply
be atomized by the force of the
explosion and atmospheric resist
Ance. The suggestion is. however,
q good one, inasmuch as it sets one
thinking on a subject that we shall
have to face very shortly.
The ordinary military rifle is q
very powerful weapon. 1t has
been designed for killing at very
long range. and it is quite possible
that under favorable circum-
star ces at short range the same
bullet might pass through 20 men.
Disorderly, murderous mobs are
constantly increasing in numbers
and each riot is fiercer and more
determined than those that have
preceded it. There is bound to be
greater number of them in the
future, which we shall have to
deal with, whether we like it or
not, therefore ! hold that we
should make study of the subject
and provide and use the best posi-
BILE arms for the purpose.
1t must not be supposed for a
single moment that large ami
turblent mobs such as were lately
found in Liverpool, and who fight
like demons can be subdued with
out the loss of some life. Some
loss is inevitable, but let it be as
small as possible and let US, at
least, attempt to avoid doing in
jury to any except those who are
actually making war upon the
soldiers or police.
Suppose the officer in command
had 400 soldiers opposed, we will
say, to 10000 hooligans and
strikers. 1t would be best 70 arm
about 200 of them with very large
bore, single barrel shot guns,
having rather short barrels, and
these should be provided with
cartridges of the ordinary type;
but instead of lead shot, they
should be loaded with very coarse
grains of hard rock salt, the grains
being about the size of large peas.
The salt has the advantage OF
being light so that ii does not
penetrate very far, and, as it soon
dissolves and runs out of itself,
and as it is also an antiseptic, no
surgical operation would be
necessary.
Rock salt was used very success
fully in early Colonial days of New
England.
Another hundred of the soldiers
should be armed with the same
kinds of gun, but the cartridges
should be loaded with q small
charge of black powder and a very
large charge of buckshot. These
shot would not kill at a range of
few feet, where all the shot are
in lump they would be fatal.
With these 300 guns the crowd
could in all probability be kept at
bay. Of course the buckshot
would not be used until the salt
had failed. Then, again, if the
attack was v ry violent the whole
300 guns could be worked with |
buckshot.-Sir Hiram Maxim, in
the London Express.

From the 90 questions which the at

II became evident the inquiry would
cover practically the same ground M
