USE LANCE BOMB AS CHASER
eritain's Mosquito Fleet Armed With
Novel Weapons for Fighting In
Close Quarters.

The armament of Great Britain's
SO-foot "chasers," NILS" they are
called, is interesting. Each carries,
besides its deck gun, "depth charge"
six lance bombs," and a rifle for each
81 its ten men.
The story of the lance bombs goes
like this: A British destroyer was
once placed in the embarrassing posi-.
tion of having U-bOat hob up right
alongside. 1t was impossible to de-
press the guns sufficiently to strafe
the stranger, and there was nothing
else to strafe him with. What hap
pened to the destroyer I can't say,
but 1t must have got away to tell the
story, for each boat is now provided
with lance bombs for just such emer-
gencies, says William Washburn Nut
ting in Golfers Weekly.
: The lance bomb Is 14-pound con-
tact bomb on the end of a six-fOot han
die. the idea being to use it at close
range by hurting 1t much as an ath-
lete throws the hammer. These are
implements loaded with awful possi-
bilities in the hands of an amateur.
and the surest road to unpOpularity
with ones shipmates is to suggest q
lance bomb rehearsal.

From sad experience, many man
has learned that placing his wallet in
even an inside pocket will not prevent
it from being stolen. But If the wal

scribed in the Popular Science Month

A fine steel chain connects the wal
let with the coat pocket. When you
pocket your wallet, this chain is WOUND
up on spring-revolved drum In very
thin casing which Is sewed to the bot
tom of the pocket. The chain, which
has Its free end secured to your pocket
book, is about foot long, so that you
can draw 1t out conveniently. Should
pickpocket attempt to rob you. the
tug on the chain would betray him.

Tapping 4 Submarine.

It's In the In and Out club. the
junior service club in London, where
tall yarns are spun by the fellows in
town on leave, and this one is the
best, but with 1t goes no guaranty or
refund money. But before shooting
my piece let me state that. no matter
how wild the lie may sound, truth mt
least in this war is stranger than fic-
tion, writes London correspondent.
In cove on the east coast Of Ireland
Fritz submerges, thinking he could
escape his sole pursuer, an Old-time
gunboat on patrol. with busted wire
less, and without any way to call for
help. BY means Of grapnel the gun
boat finally locates him lying still on
the shelving bottom. A diver is sent
down. He has a big hammer. he
knocks on the hull of the German sub,
and the taps of the hammer spell out,
in the Morse code: "Will you come
up or will you take bomb?" Fritz
comes up.

Japan Raising Medicinal Herbs.

Prices of all medicines have in
creased to such degree in Japan
since the outbreak Of the war that
the Japanese Medical investigations
association has undertaken, with the
aid of the department Of home af-
fairs, to stimulate the growth or
medicinal herbs of all kinds, and at
the same time to prevent the expOr-
tation Of all medicines from the coun-
try. The Hochi of Tokyo regrets that
Japan still has to import medicinal
herbs to manufacture Its medicines
Many varieties of these herbs are cul-
tivated In Japan, but the government
has not especially encouraged the In
dustry. An experimental station was
established in Tokyo about 1888, many
of the plants being brought from Ger
many, but the station was abandoned
in 1889. The Hochi argues that Japan
can and should produce most of her
own medicines.

MUCH METAL GONE TO WASTE
One Hundred Million Pounds Of Cop
per Used In $4,000, 900 Shells Or
dered by Allies In United States.

Up to date the warning allies of Eu-
rope have placed orders for 35,OOOOOO
shells in the United States. This means
lot of valuable metal going to waste,
for these orders require a total Of 1O1,-
100000 pounds of copper, 46,75O,OOO
pounds of spelter and 173,25O pounds
Of lead.
A British 1S-pounder, or 3.3inch
shrppnel, requires 8 pounds Oh ounces
Of brass, containing 68 to 10 per cent
OF copper, or nearly 3A pounds. A
small copper band around the shell
adds Ak ounces, making the total cop
per 4.04 pounds. Spelter consumption
per shell of this size is abOut 1.S7
pounds. Lead bullets weighing 1892
pounds constitute. the metal load of the
projectile.
One pound of copper is used in maxi
ing "a Lebel rifle cartridges. Every
125 of these cartridges consume /
pound of spelter and small amount
of nickel. Steel consumption per shell
varies more widely with the different
types. A finished S.3-inch shell contains
6 pounds 15K ounces of steel, the steel
shell weighing 6 pounds 5h ounces and
the diaphragm on ounces.
Just 33 complete chemical and me-
chanical operations have to be gone
through with great accuracy, precision
and carefulness, before white cotton,
mixed with sulphuric and nitric acid,
