In developing the possibilities OF ter

noises of the "statics," Buckner Speed

Some Curious Experiments
With Both Flame and Air

"One of the many curious expert
ments made with the purpose OF secur-
ing long-range and reducing AIR re-
sistance resulted in blaming smell,
writes J. H. Van Deventer In Every
body's. "The forepart of the shell con-
tains a mixture of phosphorus and cop
per oxid, which is ignited as the smell
leaves the gun; not, strange to say, Tor
the purpose of setting fire to the enc
mv's works or trains, but simply TO
increase the range. Experiments have
shown increased ranges of almost ~
ner cent for these flaming shells. The
explanation seems to be that the gases
given off coat the shell with a sort Oh
frictionless gas film. Wind-tunnei ex-
neriments show that air resistance Is
emf down almost rs per cent by these
gas films"
