New Shell Bursts in Air.

A French army man has invented
9. shell which, when fired from q 10
caliber cannon, will explode in the air
instead of having to come in contact
with something before bursting. The
invention was devised by Command
ant Malandin of the general staff of
Paris. 1t is sai6 that the new shell
increases the range of effectiveness
IN aiming at the enemy's fortress or
in the field of battle. French artillery
authorities state that the new inven-
ton practically doubles the value of
the 75-ealiber cannon. The missile
will undoubtedly be standardized and
used b. all OF the French army men.
