New Implement of Warfare.

The greatest benefactor of modern times may be found In a poor Polish chemist named SJmon Pattowskl, of Warsaw. This obscure chemist has invented a new gas, which, If used in the battles of the future, will put an end to thfe horrible mutilations and terrible deaths on the battlefield. The battles of the future wlif be the harmless bursting of Pavlowski shelly, filled with a gas which, as soon as freed from its gelatine cage, will permeate the atmosphere breathed by the enemy and lull them into a fifteen hours' sleep, from which they will not awaken un<ttll their standards have been seized by the opposing army and their sleeping bodies removed to a place of safety. The gah invented by Pavlowski is an which is forced into a shell made of gelatine. When the latter bursts In the ranks of the enemy this gas escapes, rendering every soldier in the immediate vicinity soothingly unconscious for a long time, but with no other Injury than to incapacitate him for the time from working against the opposing army.—New York World.
