Most people think that the use of poiaon Kas in warfare u a purely hu man or. perhaps one Bhould fay, In human Idea. Yet the plan hfta been adopted by nature. Certain kinds of beetle, known af bombardier, and called by sclen tintH ItrachimiH. make free une of poisonoiiH fumes to keep their ene mies at bay. A typical species known as iirachintiM crepitans i largely at tacked by certain ground beetles. These ground beetles are very active and can easily overtake the bom bardier. Just as they g-t within reach a n range thing happens. The boin- hnrHlor hstu ihf iiniVf r (ff eject hlK peculiar ii'inlU which when It cornea In contact with the atmosphere bursts into a sort of pale blue green flame. This is immediately followed by n kind of smoke. Now this smoke has a remarkable effect upon the pursuer. So sooner do the fumes come into contact with the ground beetle than the creature is blinded and stupefied. Paralysis overtakes the insect, and It seems un able to move any farther. Quite a while elapses before the ground beetle recovers. In the mean time the bombardier makes good his escape.
