From the Scientific American.
Tests have been made in Germany with
a special projectile which is intended To
repel dirigibles and which is designed not
only to pierce gas envelope. but also to
set fire to the gas. This projectile, fired
from the old German rifle known as
model H. which has caliber of eleven
millimeters Is provided with little wings
that open in flight under the influence
of a spring, compressed while the pro-
jectile Is still in the rifle barrel but ex-
banded as soon as the muZzle is passed
An ordinary bullet leaves such small
hole in an envelope that the gas escapes
through it but slowly. The wings on the
improved bullet tear a hole of appreciable
size in the fabric. What is more, they
retard the bullet sufficiently to cause
friction device to ignite illuminate con-
tanned in the bullet 1t is said that ex-
periments conducted at Neumannswald
gave encouraging results.
