WILL USE FIRE TO
FIGHT GERMAN GAS
BRITISH HAVE A METHOD TO
MINIMIZE TEUroNlc
POISON GUNS.
(Bu Associated Press.l

London, Sept. 17-The British army
plans to fight the German gas attacks
with fire. This is the scheme recon-
mended by committee of inventors
headed by Sir Hiram Maxim, who has
designed a simple apparatus which the
government is now testing.
The object of the apparatus is to
cause large and rapidly spreading fires
by means of specially designed incen-
diary bombs thrown in the path of the
advancing gas at a distance of several
hundred yards. BY this means, since
the heating of the air must cause an
upward current, it is expected to drive
the gas up out of harms way. r5
Sir Hiram's explanation of the
scheme is as follows:
'The German gas at one atmosphere
of pressure is two and half times
as heavy as air. In escaping into the
air it very quickly becomes mixed with
q ldl sc qudntity VI oii, oV thoe W etiS
time it reaches our trenches it is, as
a rule, less than 1 per cent. heavier
than the surrounding air; that is, it is
extremely light as compared with the
air, but it is quite strong enough to
prove fatal. In most cases we find the
air has only one-thousandth part OF
chlorine is the one that has done the
most harm.
'It occurred to me some months ago
that, if a fire could be produced be-
tween the gas and our trenches, the
rapid upward movement of the air
would take the chlorine along with it,
and this is quite true. The bombs that
| made were to be thrown. by hand,
but it was found that in order to be
thrown any distance they had to be
made quite small, and moreover, they
could not be thrown as far as the Off

mn ON BIG FILL.
! .oo0-FoOT TREsTLE ON NATcHEz
END OF LINE BEING REPLACED
WITH EMBANkMENT.

Under the direction of Chief Engi-
neer Is f. Faulkner. the Mississippi
Central Railroad Company has begun
work on the big fill on the other ter
minal of the line which will replace
the 1000 foot trestle that crosses I'm
ion street within the city limits of
Natchez.
The embankment and concrete work,
it is estimated, will cost $4,000, and
three months will be required to COM
plete it. This work is in line with the
policy inaugurated by the company to
do away with the timber trestles, sub
stituting instead concrete culverts.
This will greatly increase the safety
Of travelling. Over four miles of
trestles have been eliminated and
there is only about one mile more in
the entire system.
The trestle that will be replaced
here is one thousand feet long and
fifty feet deep. 1t will be replaced
with an earth embankment and two
concrete boxes. each SxSx25 feet, to
take care of the drainage. For the
concrete works thirty cars of gravel
and five cars of cement will be re-
quired. The concrete will be mixed
by machinery and the labor for this
work obtained in Natchez. The en-
bankment will require 10000 cubic
yards Of earth or about 1000 carloads.
The earth will be handled by steam
shoyels and work train and unloaded
by machinery.
