LONDON', Sept. !). Tho Urltlsh
nrmy plans to fight the German gas
attacks with fire. This Is the Hellenic
recommended by n committee of
Inventors headed by Sir Hiram Mnx
im, who has designed a simple ap
paratus which tho government Is
now testing.
The object of the apparatus is to
cause largo and rapidly spreading
fires by means of specially-designed
Incendiary bombs thrownln tho path
of tho advancing gas at a distance
of several hundred yards. Uy this
means, since the heating of tho air
must cause an upward curient, it
Is expected to drive tho gas up out
ot harm's way.
Sir Hiram's explanation ot tho
scheme Is ns follows:
"Tho Gorman gas at ono ntmos
phoro ot pressure is two and n half
times as heavy as air. In escaping
into the nir it very iiulckly becomes
mixed with n lnrgo autintlty or air,
so that by tho time It reaches our
trenches It Is, ns a rule, less than
J por cent heavier than tho sur
rounding air; thnt is, it Is extreme
ly light ns compared with tho nir,
but it is quito strong enough to
piovo fatal. In most cases wo find
tho nil thnt has only one-thousandth
pnrt of chlorine Is tho ono thnt
has done tho most harm.
"It occurred to mo somo months
ngo that, If a flro could ho produc
ed between tho gas nnd our trenches
the rapid upward movoment of tho
air would tako tho chlorine along
with It, nnd this is quito truo. Tho
bombs that I mndo were to bo
thrown by hand, but it was found
that, In order to bo thrown any dls
tnneo, they had to bo made quito
small, and, moreover, they could not
bo thrown ns tar as tho officers
wished to throw thorn. I dellvored
100 to tho government for oxporl
inontul purposos. A fow of these
hnvo been tosted, nnd It wns found
that the fire should ho greater and
