Two recent reported discoveries, if
actually such, come near to realizing
some of the dreams of the imaginative
writers of romances. One is method OF
firing explosives at long distances by
means of infra-red or ultraviolet rays, 1t
is not stated which-perhaps both. The
other is a process which not only water
pr, rs the filmiest silks as well as any
heavier fabrics, but renders airship COW
ers invisible when they reach a certain
height. OF course the first thing
thought of in co Inection with these dis
coveries is their application to war, and
both are seen to he Of great possibilities
in the gentle art of killing people. Per-
