ROCKVILLE MARYLAND FRIDAY MORNING. JANUARY 49, 1917
LIQUID Fire In War.

Liquid fire as war weapon is thus
described In an English journal:
In the earliest models the combus-
uble liquid was propelled by gas
condenser out of portable or fixed
reservoir and was lighted by some au-
tomato device as 1t escaped from the
nozzle Of the projecting instrument
Later a double barreled liquid gun
was devised, having the upper barrel
much smaller than the lower and ply
oted so as to turn independently. The
fluid is shot from the two barrels ST.
simultaneously, but only that from the
upper one ignites automatically.
This small, burning stream is so d.
rected that 1t unites with the larger.
nonburning one at any desired point
and then, Of course, ignites the larger
jet The small stream is then shut of,
the large one continuing to flow.
The flames do not spread backward
along the Jet toward the nozzle, but
are carried forward to the target and,
striking the ground form a veritable
sheet Of fire, which continues to ignite
the fluid as fast and as long as 1t falls.

The MAKING of chInnad ala...

Sheets of glass that are covered with
shell-like raised pattern are In use
for screens, partitions, electric light
fixtures and other purposes. This
Clipped glass, for the pattern Is often
really Clipped out Of the surface, In.
wolves process that is interesting
The sheet of glass to be treated Is
placed under sand blast I'm order to
give It a grain. This ground surface
Is next treated with a solution Of good
glue, and the glass is placed In dry
ing room on Il rack, where It remains
for some hours. Next the sheets of
glass are removed to the chipping
room, where they are placed on edge
back to back, with the coated surfaces
outward. This room Is heated by
steam coils, and when the heat is turn
ed on the glue reaches its utmost de-
gree Of desiccation and curls off the
glass in pieces from the size of dime
to that Of a silver dollar, but 1t ad-
heres so closely to the glass that In
its effort to get free It tears piece
Off the surface, the result being a
beautiful pattern.
