VIEW AND TERRIBLE
ENGINE OF DEATH
]. M. salandiner invents War Ma.
chine That May Change All
War Methods.

What gives promise of revolution.
izing the entire war methods Of the
whole world, II indeed II will not pre-
vent war altogether. is a machine tina,
has just been invented by J. NJ. Sala.
diner OF this city. The inventor has
but recently returned from washin-
ton. where he went in person and took
out letters patent on his invention.
While in Washington. Mr.. salandiner
secured audiences with Secretary o.
the Navy Daniels and other Navy and
Army department heads and exhibited
drawings OF his invention and ex.
planned its method OF operation and
outlined its possibilities as an engine
OF destruction in war.
The inventor. since the European
war has been in progress. was i'm.
pressed with the effectiveness OF the
water torpedo fired from submarines.
and conceived the idea that a similar
instrument. though more deadly and
terrible In ito results. could be de-
yised for land operation. With this
idea In his mind he set to work and as
result the Air Torpedo" has been
perfected and patented under the laws
~ the United States.
This new instrument Of destruction
Is similar 10 the water torpedo ex.
oept II travels through the air. and
instead OF only one body To explode.
I, Is fitted with a number c: large
and deadly bombs. each OF which
when exploded, releases a number OF
smaller bombs which also explode
scattering death and destruction In
their wake. The machine is briefly
described as follows:
The Air Torpedo" is cigar shaped
and the gas bag which gives II bouy-
ancy causing II TO rise. is made Of
rubber or a combination of rubber
and ducking. The bag Is supported
by a strong. well braced frame 20
which is attached a power box in
which Is located a small gasoline or
air engine for working the propeller
at the rear. which is similar TO the
propeller OF an aeroplane and drives
the torpedo through the air. Wings
at the side can be set so as to give
the machine any elevation desired.
Suspended from the frame on either
side are the large bombs, each filled
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1915-06-19

with ten or more small bombs. A
chain operated by sprocket wheel
has a finger attachment for releasing
the bombs at intervals OF one hund
red yards. and this chain can be set
so Il will begin dropping the bombs
at any dinstance from one to twenty.
1--WE miles. according TO the distance
from the army Of the enemy.
The air torpedo attacks OF course
would be under direction Of the com
manding officer. but the inventors
ideas in that regard are as unique
as his invention. He would have
aeroplane scouts as are now used 70
locate the army Of the enemy and
communicate the location and dis
lance to the batteries Of air torpedoes
by flag signals. and the torpedo bat.
teries would fix the direction by ar.
row markers so that when the time
came for the attack they will have
the direction and the distance. The az.
tack Is to be made at night 80 the
torpedoes cannot be seen. and the In.
,vntor believes that with batteries
OF torpedoes being fired from different
angles II would be possible 10 annihi
late an entire army.
With the air torpedo. which goes
by itself. there Is no risk OF life as IL
the case with aeroplanes and Zeppe.
Inns.
The machines. after accomplishing
their purpose. are Of no further use.
The inventor has secured estimates
on the cost OF each machine and be.
lievs they can be made in quantities
at $3.50 each. which is about one
fourth the cost OF firing a i4.inch
gun and at least a hundred times
more effective.
Tie idea embodied In the air torpe-
do has limitless possibilities and there
Is no reason why torpedo warfare
in the air should not become a reality
the same as torpedo warfare by sub
marines. The possibilities OF the ma.
chine are unlimited and may revolu.
tionize the warfare Of the world.
A local concern is now at work con.
structng one OF the machines and II is
hoped to have demonstration OF It's
operation In Bryan In a short time.

Use for cocoanut Water.

The discovery has just been maze
at Colombo that cocoanut water
which has always been considered q
useless waste product, is an excellent
rubber coagulant. Millions OF gallons
of cocoanut water allowed to run W
waste on estates can now be made use
of at good profit.
The cocoanut water is allowed 10
ferment for four or five days, AFTER
which It can be used without further
delay as coagulating latex. One 10
two ounces of the fermented cocoanut
water is allowed to coagulate one pint
of the pure latex.
This is said to produce a fine rub
Der, superior to that procured with the
use of crude acetic acid. The color
of the rubber with acetic acid fermen
tation is decidedly inferior to the co
coanut water fermentation.

Cyrus Vane stood in the laboratory
of the hospital, watching his test
tubes. The little colonies that were
spreading upon the gelatine meant
that the new bacillus could be devel-
oped in an ordinary medium. With
this he planned to do what science had
hitherto failed in doing. He hoped to
cure infantile paralysis, and convert
what was a scourge into a mild i'll.
ness merely
For six weeks he had devoted his
time to this alone. Meanwhile the
scourge had fastened itself upon the
town. Children were dying. 1t had
never been checked. What boon the
new antitoxin, prepared from the ba-
cillus, would be.
Vane was sure of it. He had in
jected it into apes and watched them
recover from artificially induced pes
thence. He had tested the serum IN
every possible way. Why, then, coule
he not give it to the world?
That question is often asked D!
