Disappearing In Smoke.

A war correspondent of. the Rotterdam Courant reports observing a new method of concealing airships in the vicinity of Roulers. He says he was watching German aviators who were being shelled by French artillery when suddenly the aeroplane disappeared in the midst of a huge brown-colored cloud which was too large to be the result of an explosive. He continued to watch the aeroplanes and noticed that they produced a similar cloud of smoke the moment they were subjected to bombardment, and In a few moments, thanks to this cloud, they became perfectly invisible and made It impossible for the guar ners to alm at the machine.
