Miss Mary Grant, who has a Greek
fellowship in the University of Wis
| consin this year, has been asked by
! the college authorities to make an in
vestigation into the use of Greek fire
in the early middle ages. The govern
| ment asked the university to have the
| investigation made, in the belief that
such Investigation might reveal some
facts regarding the use of gas in war
| fare. Miss Grant is associated in her
work with Miss Margaret Tichenor,
the daughter of Professor Tichenor,
psychologist. The completed reports
will be submitted soon to Washington.

Grant, and sister of Miss Ethel
Grant, teacher of piano at Washburn
college. In letter to her parents,
Miss Grant writes:
Greek fire was used from about
6S5 to the fall of Constantinople, in
i 1453-a burning stuff made of pitchy
sulphur and other ingredients not
known, which, when striking on any
thing would stick, give out smell and
smoke and could not be extinguished
II by water. The Byzantines had regu-
lar ships for the projection of>the
fire with flexible tubes fore and aft,
and the use of the fire contributed
greatly to the defense of CONSTANT
nople against the Saracens. In the
crusades the Turks used Greek fire
against the Christians. All the Chris
tians would be able to do was to fall
On their knees and pray, for the fire
came with long flaming tail, and a
noise like thunder. and it filled all
the camp with light SO that it was as
