MURDER WITH GAS
TerribIs New Explosive Kills by
Asphyxiation.

Terribls New Explosive Kills by
Asphyxiation.
The rumor in circulation since the
beginning Of the war to the effect that
the French were in possession Of a
secret explosive capable Of destroying
life on scale not heretofore dream
ed of, by the production Of deadly
asphyxiating gases, has been confirm
ed by the French military authorities.
This explosive is called turpinite, and
is the discovery Of M. Eugene Turpin,
the inventor Of melinite. 1t has al
ready been used in limited way and
the statement is now made that prep
arations have been completed for US
ing it on large scale in the coming
operations against the Germans.
At the opening Of the war the ef-
fects Of exploding turpinite were ia
miliar to the experimenters working
with it in the laboratory. 1t could
only be exploded by vibration and at
that time there seemed no safe way
Of firing it from a gun, for the reason
that the vibration caused by the dis
charge Of the projectile was likely to
explode it before it had got clear of
the gun.
With a new field piece invented in
December, it is possible to fire shells
charged with turpinite without dan
ger to the firing party, and it is re-
ported that the French and British ar
senals have been busy day and night
since then making the shells and the
guns for firing them.
When the shell explodes the gases
caused by the explosion spread over
the ground in a circle having a dia-
meter Of about 100 yards. The gases
produce paralysis Of some Of the vital
organs Of the body, with the result
that every living thing within this
circle is killed instantly and painless
ly, and so far as is now known there
is no defense against nor antidote for
the action of these gases. If the tur-
pinite does all that Is claimed for it.
trenches will furnish practically no
defense against it. The gases form a
shell exploding within so yards of
the trench will simply settle into the
trench and kill the men sheltered In
it. Shrapnel proof and bomb proof
covers will be Of little use, for the
gases in their deadly work will find
their way through the smallest open
