HOW HIGH EXPLOSIVES KILL
Soldiers in Trenches Slain Because o.
the Disturbance shells Cause In
the Atmosphere.

In a recent address to the Society
of Civil engineers OF France, M. r. Ar
noux explained why soldiers are killed
by the mere bursting of high-explo-
sive shells. A pocket aneroid barome-
ter that had been made unserviceable
by being too near a German shell
when it exploded showed that, at a
distance Of less than three meters, the
explosion had caused in the room
where the instrument was placed a
sudden barometric depression of at
least $50 milliEeters Of mercury. Now,
such a depression corresponds to a
driving vclcciay in the air Of 276 me-
ters . second, an1 to dynamic pres
sure of 1880 Kilograms a square
meter. That sudden static depres-
sion of the surrounding atmosphere
kills the men in the trenches, al
Though it leaves them apparently I'M
injured. When the pressure of the
air decreases too suddenly, the air
and carbcnic acid that the blood holds
in solution are disintegrated in the
form of minute gaseous bubbles, and
are driven by the heart into the small
arteries. If their diameter is greater
than that of the small arteries, they
act, of course. as 50 many gaseous
plugs, which instantaneously stop the
circulation of the blood; and death
occurs before the return Of the at
mospheric pressure tc normal enables
the blood to absorb them again. High
explosive shells kill through a smaller
radius than shrapnel, but they are
more deadly. for within their radius of
action nc living being can escape

death yesterday while hunting across

Ouderkirk ranch. when woman and
n man. standing in the dry riverbed,
began amusing themselves by shooting
toward the hills with rifle.
When the first bullet went singing
by Mr.. Peace's ear. he threw himself
flat upon the ground, expecting others
TO follow. He was right in his sur
mise. Nine other bullets came whin-
ing overhead, each of them deadly had
lie been standing. He yelled Mt the

When the magazine was exhausted.
Mr.. Peace strobe over TO them and de-
manded: What are you trying 10 do

"oh, l was shooting low" the man
replied.

kept Mr.. Peace from making a target

still was indignant today and made
