He's neither short nor tall, this guy;
Tie has clear and earnest eye
His stuf's quite fair, we all agree;

But. believe me, the chaps got nerve!

F.RAYs TO Explode BOMBS.
Can Be Set Off at Distance by Electric
Impulses.

According to reports that are ap-
parently we'll authenticated, the ex-
plosion of mines and bombs from a
distance by means Of electrical I'M
pulses which the inventor terms r
rays, discovered by Giulio Ulivi, has
proved successful in tests at Florence,
Italy, says Popular Mechanics for
August. Four bombs, loaded with
various explosives and each covered
by an inner jacket of tarred string
and an outer casing of iron, were
set floating in the River Arno. When
all was ready, the inventor, with his
apparatus located on the opposite
side of Florence and separated from
the Arno by the Fiesole Hills, began
searching with his rays for the
bombs, which by this time were float
ing swiftly with the current. IN
few minutes the first bomb was eX
ploded and this was followed at in
tervals of about Is minutes by the ex
plosion of the other three.
