Poison Gas Bomb
Was Used IN War
AS E0rly as 1914

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, May 10
Correspondence of the Associated
Press. THE poison gas bomb employed
in trench warfare today in Europe APP
pears to have a history dating back
several centuries.
Attention has just been drawn bere
to a discovery made during the carry
ing out of repairs to the naval defenses
of the port of Flushing, near the south
ern frontier of Holland, in 1857. Some
curious stone jars were found in cleft
of the outer wall of the fortress, on the
east side of the naval harbor. In form
they resembled gun shells, and were
found to be filled with aSphyXiating ma
terials \ chemical investigation show
ed that the contents included hnely-
ground Spanish pepper and pepper seeds,
gunpowder. fine pitch and antimony,
these ingredients giving rise, in a state
of combustion, to an asphyxiating gas.
Moreover. on investigation, twenty-five
OF such jars, though untitled, were actu-
ally found still stored in an old lumber
room of the Dutch arsenal at We're.
They must then have been centuries old.
The jars agree in form with those de-
scribed in works on pyroteShnics of
1914 and 1851
When the enemy in those days stormed
the ramparts of a fortress he was pelted
with these unpleasant missiles, which
were used also in closs-quarter fighting
at sea- According to a work dated 1897,
they were replaced toward the end of
the seventeenth century by pots, con-
tanning such ingredients as pitch, resin,
saltpeter, birthstone, colophony. coal,
horse-hoof filings and poisons of various
kinds

fingers which can be moved independent
" of one another and which will grasp
an object as does the human hand.
The fingers OF this artificial hand are
made of slender pieces of steel, three to
a finger. connected, and attached by tiny
hinges TO the metal constituting the
palm BY a system of fine wires run
ming to the elbow or the shoulder the
fingers can, it is claimed, be crooked TO
any desired degree to supply the power
TO grasp. A twist of the arm releases
the grasp of the fingers on the objects
they hold.
The invention was made possible, 1t
is declared, by the German museum of
Munich. one of the worlds famous tech
nical institutions. The man conceived
the idea of the hand and laid it before
the museum authorities, who then placed
at his disposal the necessary means and
assistance to perfect 1t. Now that ii is
completed the muse um has given the
details to the larger scientific magazines
of Germany, and offers to equip free Of
cost anywhere shops or laboratories for
manufacturing the hand on larger
scale. The faith of the museum author
tiles in the invention Is considered by
many persons as proof of its practical
