are two pounds of a new explosive more powerful
than anything now In use, and four hundred
proiectiles Of various shapes and sizes.
The mine Is buried in the earth and attached
to it Is an electric cable which can be extended
TO almost any distance. An explosion can be pro-
duced only by sending n current through the
cable. Unless the mines mechanism Is put in
motion by an electric current 1t remains perfectly
harmless. Rifle bullets can even be hred into 1t
without the least danger OF its exploding
