Electrified Pants,

rants warmed by electricity is the
latest war invention. 1t is described
by its origfnators, an Innsbruck pro-
lessor who is at present serving in the
army, Max Beck by name, and the
Well-known Vienna professor of medi-
cine, Won Schrotter.
Besides the comfort this garment
would be to men in the trenches in
winter, it is pointed out that electrical
pants and, likewise, an electrical arm
warmer, might be profitably used in
airships and aeroplanes. 1t appears
from the description given that ex-
tremely supple but stiff electrical
warming-wires are woven in with the
stuff, which is itself made especially
with view to insulation. The pants
are put on like any other, and fed
by cables at a distance of Hundred
Yards or more. g 81
The wearer can himself connect and
disconnect the heat conductor. The

cost of manufacture is estimated al
