Instrument of destruction it used to be;
that there are good and comfortable

Air Mines to Destroy
Zeppelins if Raid is
Attempted on London

thousands of them may be fioated from
the outskirts of the city every night.
They are so light that the suction of
the airship's propellers and the cur
rents set up by the passage of the huge
levathian will draw the bombs like
flies to honey jar.
London is often bothered by fogs
which sweep up the river from
the sea, and the chief terror of the
people has been that airships, taking
advantage of low clouds, would dive
out of the mist, discharge their bombs
at close range and swoop back into
the protecting blanket of fog unhurt.
But with the new defense, fog ami
darkness aid defenders. The bombs
are so small that they cannot be seen
until too late. If the invader turns
his searchlight on them he becomes
a mark for guns on the forts. If he
flies above the mines the city is out
of range.
The first balloon, and the plan is
still in its experimental stage, will
carry a small amount of explosives
which fire on contact with any heavy
object. These are sufficient to explode
balonettes, smash propellers and
otherwise disable the invader Other
mines planned will be fired from OBJ
servation towers or balloons. These
will carry shrapnel charges which will
disable airships within 100 yards.

LONDON, Oct. 12.-Mines in the
air as deadly as those of the sea, are
planned to check possible ZEPPELIN
and aeroplane raids on London.
All around the city-re-enforcing
the double line of forts-captive bal
looms, hundreds of them, carrying
death-dealing loads Of high explosives,
will bar the way to aerial craft.
The bombs, painted black, will be
invisible. When foated at varying
heights and distances they will make
protective zone so deadly that any
Zeppelins which penetrates it is sure
to be disabled.
An ordinary seamstress can sew half
a dozen balloons of oiled silk day.
These bags when filed with illuminat-
ing gas, can support enough explosives
to put any airship out of commission
or make its destruction easy.
The balloons will be held captive by
piano wire, light but strong, and will
be raised or lowered by windlasses. AS
soon as darkness falls, these mines,
each carrying an explosive that will
fire on contact, will be loosed to rock
and sway in the evening breezes until
they are needed. At daybreak they
may be reeled in and hidden to prevent
spies charting their location.
The balloons are so cheap and the
cost of maintenance is so small that
