It la worth remembering, however, that the Chinese, -who invented gun powder, used it In fireworks for many centuries before anybody thought of I turning It to account for war purpose. : And It is rather interesting to observe that fireworks have within recent years become of enormous Importance In military operations. Uses Of War Fireworks Rockets were used during- the great war for two purposes mainly for sig naling, and .,f or illumination. The il luminating rocket carried a linen par achute, which, liberated by the explo sion, floated in the air. upholding a suspended cartridge that was packed with a brilliantly-burning composition. The latter, ignited by the explosion, would buru for several minutes, throwing a bright light ovtr a wide area. This was by no means a new idea in warfare. The French during the reign of Lou.s XIV made very satis factory use of rockets equipped with parachute "Hares." ed in ai logne in 1MI5. liu wtr,- throw n into the oon in tlami's. burnt: At that per. ml it was :1 l.
