Asphyxiatinq Bombs Made Harmless

PARIS, June 7-Scientists aiding
the war bureau have discovered, it is
believed, a means whereby the pois-
onous gas-flled bombs of the Germans
can be rendered ineffective.
Representatives of the British war
Office are here now, purchasing hun
dreds of ordinary garden syringes,
such as are used for watering flowers.
With these it is planned to squirt
hypo-sulphide of sodium into the air
as the poisonous gases reach the lines.
The soldiers are to be supplied with
masks covering the head, soaked in
some chemical, and which are coated
with glycerine to prevent evaporation.
London automobile busses, it has
been discovered, have shown an uneX-
pected utility in the treatment of gas
victims. If they can be picked up i'm
mediately and rushed to hospital at
high speed, it has been found that the
journey through the air is of great
benefit

trate the kernels. A very thin starch
paste is recommended as a medium for
applying poison to the grain. Prepare
as follows:
Net Grain Formula.
Dissolve n n of s%trychnia
sulphate in two quarts of boiling wa
ter. Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of
laundry starch in one-half pint of cold
water. Add the starch to the strych-
l solution and boil for a few min
utes until the starch is clear. A little
~saccharine may be added If desired,
but 1t is not essential. Pour the hot
starch over n bushel Of oats in a
metal tub and stir thoroughly. Let the
grain stand overnight to absorb the
poison.
Distributing Poisoned Grain.
PoloOICu grain prepared ny
either of the above formulas is to be
distributed over the infested area, not
more than a teaspoonful at a place,
care being taken to put it in mouse
runs and at the entrances of burrows.
Small drain tiles. IL inches in diane
ter, have sometimes been used to ad-
vantage to hold poisoned grain, but
old tin cans with the edges bent near
ly together will serve the same pur-
pose.
Field mice may also be driven away
by thorough cultivation of fields and
the elimination of fence rows. In the
case of trees, clean tillage and the re-
moval from the neighborhood of weeds
and grass will prove an effective pre-
caution.
Finally, the farmer should remem
Der that there are many animals, birds
and snakes around the farm which do
little or no harm, and are most useful
in keeping down the numbers Of field
mice. Among these owls deserve spe-
cial notice. Mice are the chief diet
both OF the short-eared and the barn
owl. The common screech owl de-
stroys English sparrows as we'll as
mice. 1t stays close to orchards and
farm buildings and is, therefore, a
useful assistant.

BY hanging a blanket saturated with

BY setting up a manufactured de-

What advantage has one type of COOL

ing system over the other?
Pump cooling is, Of course, more pos
the water is forced through the water
jackets. In the thermo-siphon system
the hot water rises to the top and so
makes its way to the radiator to be
cooled. The thermO-siphon system is
the simpler of the two; it naturally is
cheaper and is good practice for small
motors. For large motors a pump is
essential.
