Bomb 70 OFFSET German Gas.

Gas bombs of nature as yet unused
In warfare are promised as part OF the
equipment of the American troops in
the trenches. The new chemical mix
ture is the product of an American, q
New York chemist, who after several
years as a member of the Cornell fac
ulty, has established a laboratory near
Niagara Falls. where he is perfecting
his discovery, which has been laid be-
fore the president and Secretary Baker
with several experts from the chemical
division of the department of agricul-
ture.
The Cornell scientist whose name is
not divulged, has produced two gases,
in fact, especially intended to Offset the
gas used by the German army One
compound is offered as a complete neu
tralizer of the poisonous gas now in
vogue with the Germans-which Is said
to leave it's victims paralyzed imbeciles
instead Of killing outright. The second
agent created by the American is Of
fensive in its properties and represent
cd as possessing deadly quantities.
DR.. J. H. Hooker, of New York, who
brought the attention of the war de-
partment to the discovery, would not
discuss the extent of his conferences in
Washington further than to admit that
the bombs were now in the hands of
the government chemists who will re-
port on their efficacy to Secretary Ba-
ker at once.

Noxious Gas Affects Workman at Put.
nam Farm, South Of Town.
George w. Willis. East North
street, roofer, owes his life to prompt
action taken Tuesday afternoon when
he was removed from we'll on the
Ed Putnam farm, three and a quarter
miles south Of town. after he had been
overcome by some sort of gas, pre-
sumably originating from patented
roofing compound being used to CO.
ment crevices in the concrete walls of
the well.
Charles A. Morrison, Of Rhodes.
agent for the roofing company, half
carried Willis from the fourteen-foot
we'll up a ladder, aided by Mr.. Put
man and others who pulled on a rope
Morrison had placed about Willis body.
Willis was unconscious about twenty
minutes after being brought to the
surface.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Putnam attempt
ed to place in the cracks of the well
some Of the compound. He began to
grow Ill and light headed while work
ing in the well. and came to the sur
face. His son Russell then tried it
and he, too, became sick. Mr. Morri-
son, Of whom the compound was pur-
chased, secured Willis to do the work.
He remained in the well about twenty
minutes, then was overcome, and had
to be taken out in order to save his
life.
Just what is the cause of the forma-
ton of the gas is not known unless it
be that the compound, which contains
q coal tar product, forms q gas when
being used in the damp walls of the
well, and that there is not enough good
air in the well to overcome the gas.
Authorities at Iowa State College are
to be sought for an explanation, and
may be secured to come and see what
the conditions are. Mr. Putnam has
been in the we'll many times without
the presence of the filling compound,
and has experienced no difficulty He
and his son cleaned the we'll only
few weeks ago and were not disturbed.
A ground hog, which fell into the well,
was taken out dead. The well is about
10x14 and is sed as reservoir to
supply water to the house and to the
Outbuildngs and stock. ,
