SOLDIERS SHADOW
EXPLODES MINES
NEW DISCOVERY ~ NOTED IOWA
PROFESSOR
Il Promises Co Have Marked Effect
on Land Warfare II Adopted
Has Other Uses

Construction Of . wonderful new
solenium invention which promises to
revoluuonize mine laying In land war
fare BY It's ability to explode charge
Of dynamite or powder thru the mere
casting of shadow by a soldier or
body Of advancing troops, is now un-
der the investigation Of War Depart
ment officials in the laboratories of
Prof. 3. G. Brown OF the University
Of Iowa.
The new device u based upon the
same principle applied to the mecha3-
ical eye, which DR.. Brown placed be.
fore the blind people Of the United
States several months ago, and which
has been explained In these columns.
The crystals of solenium, which are
the handspring Of its success, auto
matically increase IN electric current
running thru them when any dark
shadow is thrown upon their surface.
This heightening of the electric pas
sage would spring the switch connect
ed with the mine. and cause the ex.
plosion above described.
In actual practice. Prof. Brown has
found that the invention works ou.
with remarkable success. Should the
United States take 1t over, it would be
invaluable to a body of retreating
Americans, who could strew their
path with this hidden death and
leave on their march, trusting the pur
suers to explode the mine themselves.
The manner in which the device
might work may Be illustrated b.
the following example:
A body Of retreating troops, within
o days march of their pursuers, could
string a chain or group OF soleniun
mines in the path which they had left.
The crystals would lie above ground
in the sun, and be connected by a
storage battery current to the heavy
charge of dynamite below the ground.
When the advancing soldiers pass.

we're located, their shadows, in the
sunlight be cast upon the solenium, 81.
ready set for them. and the mine
would be exploded at just the momert
when the men were marching over the
spot where the mine had been laid.
In the past numerous devices for
exploding land mines have been
brought forth, but none Of these bears
The promise which is seen in the pres
ent discovery. No clock apparatus is
Leeded, no men to tend the mine are
required, the enemy themselves being
