New Instruments of War

The despatches of August 23 tell of an Englishman who has invented a gun that throws projectiles containing chemicals which set fire to anything they strike, the flames not being extinguishable by water. On the same day it is reported that an American has invented a new device by which a torpedo can be guided and controlled from the shore by radio impulses. There is no field in which inventive genius is more active than in that of devising instruments for destruction on the battle-field.
