New York, Oct. 13 Three American chemists have exposed before the American Chemical Society, an infallible system for putting an end to all armed hostili ties. In all seriousness, the three inventors declared that after careful Sizzling hot, the formidable section of ¿steel tore into the street surface at 10.30 o'clock as frightened scores of Chinese scurried for shelter. Strangely, noone was killed or injured and the damage to the paving was comparatively slight.
The. police removed the rail with some difficulty owing to its temperature and conveyed it to Louza Station, where, after half an hour, it was still scorchingly hot. The explosión had curved ihe steel and one end was a twisted and pitted mass of metal made iridescent by the tremendous heat generated by the bomb explosion.
The rail passed over the British defence lines in West Hongkew, cleared the roofs of crowded Chinese houses, crossed the Creek, passed into populous Louza district and probably over ihe Telephone Exchange in Fokien Road before it plunged to the street. The Telephone Exchange is a five-story buildin Distance covered: about one mile. Time: very short study of the problem, they believe the most important point in any conflict was to render the enemy incapable of doing any harm. Therefore they had invented a shell filled with a. powerful anmsthetic devised exclusively by them to be used in place of ordinary afnmunition, and instead of killing the enemy, would put them all to sleep.
After one of the adversaries had intensely bombarded the opponent with these missiles, the front line could go Over to the enemy camp with trucks, pick tp the sleeping wattlers, and make them prisoners.
After each side had captured erióügh of their adversaries, the war was bound to end for lack of combat ants, "Then, both sides could exchange prisoners, and start all over again.
It is to be hoped that this suggestion will receive full consideration.—Havas.
