When instead of ejecting pas from tanks and letting the breeze wait it over the enemy's lines they began to fiic it at the enemy in the form of bombs they flattered themselves that the ul timate in scientific warfare had been achieved. But now we learn from an article in The American Boy that the device is thousands of years old. possibly millions as old, at any rate, as the remarkable little insect called the bombardied beetle. This beetle, says the writer, when ! pursued by an enemy, ejects a pecul iar liquid which when it come- into contact with the atmosphere hursts into a sort of pale bue-jrreen flame. This is immediately followed by a kind of smoke. "Now this smoke has a remarkable effect upon the pursuer. No sooner ' do the fumes come in contact with the ground beetle its chief enemy than the creature is blinded and stupe Tied. Paralysis overtakes the insect, and it seems unable to move any further. Quite a time elapses before the ground beetle recovres. In the i meantime the bombbardier makes CHRISTMAS CANDY FANCY GIFT BOXES Our line of high-grade candies is strictly pure and fresh from the best factories in the country.
