With Which They Are Filled.
lncendiary bombs are one Of the
most fearful engines Of modern war
fare. The reason they throw out such
a terrific heat is because they are filled
with thermite.
Thermite is so hot when it is fired
that it will melt iron and steel with
the greatest ease and even burn its
way through granite.
This marvellous substance was dis

mixture consisting Of finely powdered
aluminium and barium peroxide.
The wonderful heating power of this
terrible substance has been made use
Of all over the world in iron and steel
welding. Steel joints are welded solid
~ together in a few moments by plac-
Ing little thermite round the joint and
firing it.
The thermite mixture is as safe to
handle or store as sawdust-safer, in
fact. Only the special mixture or a
very high temperature indeed will set
1t on fire. If necessary the two sub
stances from which thermite is made
can be taken separately and mixed
when required, and there is no danger
