seismographs to Find Batteries.

Among the many things to which science has turned its attention and abilities since the beginning of the European war, none, perhaps, has been of greater importance than the development of some means by which men in the trenches could locate with fair accuracy the position of an op- posing battery or group of machine guns. This matter has been worked on in many ways, but the nearest Sci- ence ever came to solving the propO- sition was the use of strong glasses with the aid of observation balloons and aeroplanes.
 Now, however, new development has been announced in which the seis- mograph, long known as an earth quake detector, is made use of. It is declared to be possible to. tell from the shock of the gunfire just how large the guns are, what their distance away is, and the exact direction in which they lie. A practiced eye, it is claimed, can tell not only these points, but can distinguish between the shock of firing and the shock of missile striking the ground, and also is able to determine just how many guns compose any battery that may be in action.
