WARS OF THE FUTURE.

Some of the Remarkable and Deadly , Weapons That May Be Used in Next Conflicts. Now is the time for all would-be Jules Vernes to come forward and make, the wildest prophecies theii imagination can conceive as to what prodigies of invention and destruction wilt be realized in warfare 50 years hence, if that “sport of Kings” is not abolished by 1965. No one need put the slightest restraint upon his fancy. The maddest flights of his dreams cannot surpass in improbat l’ity the visions of earlier fietionists, which (denounced aS preposterous when theywere first madepublic) have now become the commonplaces of military operations. Mark Twain’s Yankee ran aroundthe royal palace at King Arthur’s court a wire which caused the most startling sensations to those who came in contact .with it. Today the electrified wife entanglements of the Belgian defenses no longer cause a Stir. Verne’s submarine craft, in one of the tales (“Twenty Thousand Leagues I’ndqr the Sea") was regarded by practical naval men with tolerant disdain, as the interesting but absurd "offspring of a visionary intellect. Now these practical men are gravely discussing whether the submarine has not made the surface battle ship as obsolete as the old wooden ship of the line. BulwerLytton, in one novel (“The Coming Race”i-produced men who, by pointing a wand at their enemies, could disable and destroy them from a distance. Was this poetic prevision of the F-ray? ‘ In order to place himself in the proper mental attitude to vision the wonders that are to be in the next great war, the amateur Verne or Twain or Bui wer-Lytton may conceive himself to be a soldier in the American civil war, 1861-65, and then imagine how amazed and astounded he would be if he could be suddenly transplated to,the 1914 battle fields in France and Poland. ' Jn our civil war the telegraph was employed for the first time in military operations. But even with his knowledge of the marvel, our soldier from the sixties would not be prepared for the miracle of talking in his own voice from the trenches at the front over a wire to headquarters at the rear, and even from the Vicksburg works to the White House in Washington.. Far less would.he be prepared for the sending of messages through either by wireless telegraphy. In tlje federal armies there were a few captive balloons, used for observation in one of which, by the way, Count Zeppelin made his first aerial ascent, beginning there the career which made him air lord of Germany’. The soldier who gaped at Captain Wise’s little spherical balloon, hanging in the air by a rope, would first be amazed to find that the aeronaut’s successor today can report his observations without being hauled down, by speaking along a copper wire. He would next be dumfounded by the spectacle of a huge dirigible balloon beating against the wind and sending messages crackling down through space from its wireless antennae. Finally he would probably fall into a paralysis of amazement on seeing an aeroplane, without a supporting gas bag, speed by high in the air at a speed of 70 to 100 miles an hour, reporting to its force the position of the enemy's troops and guns and dropping sheaves of steel darts or grenades. In the civil war a few crude Gatling guns were tentatively tried out for the first time. In 1915 each army has multitudes of machine guns which spray bullets as a hose streams water- The American soldier would be not unfamiliar'with shrapnel, but guns firing seven shells a minute, each with its accurate time fuse and each dispersing hundreds of bullets, would fill him with awe. And with what .speechless consternation would he behold the German seige guns, which fire a lydite projectile' 15 miles at a target invisible to the gunner, and in a trice demolish the strongest fortresses built by man! Accustomed -to forced marches achieved with killing toil, what would the civil- war infantryman think of the feat by which the garrison of .Paris, when the Germans were at the gates, mobilized 75,000 men in six hours at a point 30 miles away? . The observer would declare it flatly impossible until he had his first view of the gasoline-driven taxicabs by which the movement was ed, nine men being loaded in each cab on every, trip. He would see on all hands marvels which, compared with the military appliances • familiar to him, would seem almost Supernatural. -He would behold bodies of millions of! men handled with the precision of a single brigade, by means of „ telegraph and telephone. He would see that .the life blood which keeps these vast organisms in circulation and feeds them is a fluid unknown in his day —gasoline. Searchlights, motor kitchens, railroad transportation on a staggering stiale, dirigible torpedoes,

submarines, dreadnoughts, aircraft, tunneling machines, automobiles and many other inventions new to him he would see at work by night and by day, in the sky, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea and under the sea. In 1896, when the automobile was just coming in as a practical thing, the editor of a Sunday newspaper magazine in New York printed a story and a big smashing picture, describing his vision of an armored motor car for use in warfare. His employer, proprietor of the most sensational- newspaper in the United States,“exclaimed on seeing the article: i*-For heaven's sake, don't give ns'any more pipe dreams like that!” Today the armored auto is a commonplace of warfare, but at that time it seemed so preposterous an. idea that the sensationalist could .compare it only to the delirious imaginings inspired by opium. Having achieved the civil war soldier's state of mind in the presence of present-day engines of war, those qualifying as seers may proceed to pour out the full length of the .reins upon their imaginations as to what war appliances will be perfected at the. beginning of the next helf century. • For instance, if light rays can be thrown upon a hostile position with the searchlights, why cannot' heat rays be similarly reflected? And if heat rays can be sent to a distance, why not the hottest rays possible, namely, those of the oxyacetylene torch? Before such a fiery glare fortresses of steel and stone would melt', the biggest guns would crumble down into puddles of steel, and whole regiments of men might, with one blast be shriveled into ashes. , It is well known that electricity pan be sent through the air, as less telegraphy proves. Wireless waves scatter in every direction, but is it impossible that it will one day be practicable to restrict them to only offe direction, so that they -may be aimed? Electric waves powerful enough, if sent through metal conductors, will kill a man. It is too far-fetched to predict that some future general, touching a button, will send speeding to their target, which will be, perhaps, an entire army division, wireless impulses so mighty that they will electrocute every man within their range? With quite a small lens the sun’s rays may be so concentrated that they will set fire to wood. Why pot a huge reflector, an acre or so in area, focusing the sun’s heat into one shaft so that it would pass along the ranks of, an attacking force as flame would wither a row' of paper soldiers?

With further study into the causes of things, man may, perhaps, aspire to mimic the gigantic forces of destruction sometimes unleased by nature. Russian meteorologists might be able, by pulling a lever, to Send cyclone after cyclone careering across Germany and to destroy Berlin without crossing the border. Enemies on the French coast might fabricate a tidal wave and dispatch it roaring across the channel to bend the Thames back upon its source and inundate London, thus putting a term to England’s safety behind her ocean walls. Earthquakes are said to be caused by the heating of subterranean water, whose steam, struggling to escape, shakes the ground and overturns cities. It would seem only a matter of an. adequate heating plant for an enemy to set all the lakes and rivers under France to boiling and thus shatter down every structure standing upon its surface. Ordnance experts have been compelled to admit that the huge cannon, miles deep and imbedded in the ground, from which Verne shot a shell containing his heroes to the Lmon, would _be -perfectly practicable it anyone wisljed to spend the money and labor needed for ifs construction. H. G. Wells has declared it within man’s power to build a gun which would shoot a shell across the Atlantic ocean from New York to London, and lay the English capital in ruins. Only, he says, the denoation would algo wreck New York, and the expense of building and firing the monster, would bankrupt the I nitbd States government. Inventors may reduce the denonation and cost.

Undoubtedly the next 50 years will see a race between the nations in solving the problem of making and transporting bigger guns than the wprld has ever seen. Germany having started the pace in the pres-ent-war with her 4 2-centimeter'(l7-inch.i batteries. Perhaps even this leviathan ordnance will seem as tiny and feeble as, the mortars used in the civil war seem now, when the 4 2-centimeter gun comes to be contrasted with the 60 cr 80 inch gun of 1965. As modern artillery has roughly a range of one mile for every inch of its bore, such giants would be able to shoot 60 or 80 miles to a target far over the horizon, distant by more than an hour’s travel on the fastest train. The range would, of course, be given by aviators signaling with wireless. Plans are already under way for the construction of monster subma-

rines with a cruising radius from London to New York. They will be able to carry great batteries of torpedoes, aha ample fuel and provisions for a long cruise. They will thus gain some of the independence of land possessed by dreadnoughts, for even they must visit coaling stations or be attended by l colliers. The next half century jmay see battle ships swept from the seas, and some nation holding the mastery of the ocean by virtue of its fleet of subaqueous fighters. Radium is a substance unparalleled for the quantity of energy it generates in ? comparison to its bulk. In one of his novels Wells describes an "atomic bomb,” the chief ingredient of which was radium. One bomb dropped upon Paris, he estimated, would turn the city into the flaming crater of a volcano, which would burn inextinguishably for years. Wells prophesied the , failure of the dirigible balloon to prove the deciding factor in war, and it seems clear that radium has too frightful potehtialties of destruction to be neglected by military inventors of the future. An Italian scientist recently made experiments with a combination of wireless electric waves and the infrated rays of light, which are those invisible rays of the spectrum just beyond the visible red rays, and -which he named F-rays. His hope was to be able to detonate explosives at a distance by means, of waves sent through the air and also penetrating hills and buildings which stood in the way. His experiments did not prove as successful as he had anticipated ; but the idea is one which, will undoubtedly be developed. The ideal success would be attained if an officer, pressing a button, could by wireless waves explode the powder magazines and loaded artillery shells of an enemy at a distance of several miles.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The Unicycle Has Already Made a Record of 75 Miles an Hour.

-The unicycle is a new sort of vehicle which promises to develop a thrilling racing sport, as it has already a record of 75 taileg an hour. The device consists of a huge wheel, driven by a propeller and carrying a passenger suspended within its rim. The motive power is a gas engine of the rotary type, with three cylinders radiating from the center. This engine drives a five-foot propeller, which is carried before the wheel. The ingenious construction of the frame with the wheel allows it to remain right side up while the wheel revolves around it. This is accomplished by means of rollers in contact with the inside of the rim. In addition to the passengers thh, frame supports the engine, fuel oi. and batteries, and also a steering wheel for the driver. The wheel ix of aluminum, with a diameter of 81 inches, and is equipped with a solid rubber tire. Skids, carrying tollers, project at the sides to keep the machine upright while it is at rest, and when in motion the momentum keeps it upright, like a rolling hoop. It is believed there is practically no l|imit to the speed which may be obtained with further development of the en gine, and a race between a couple of these one-wheel whirlwinds should afford a most exciting contest. The unicycle could be equipped with a much more powerful engine. The chief change in construction in consequence would be in balance, which could easily be adjusted. Tremendous speed might be developed without greatly increasing the danger.—Technical World Magazine.

DRANK BLOOD; ATE COYOTE.

Sufferings of a Prospector Lost in the Great Mohave Desert. Frank H. Field and Harold Wahlraven arrived at the Lankershim. and told a strange ' story. - They have mining interests about 125 miles northeast of the town of Mojave and not far from Skidoo. As. they -were returning from development work at that place in an automobile truck they saw a man acting very strangely. He was half a mile from the road. Field tells this story: “When we got near him the man tried to run away. We at once realized that he wks out of his mind,” said Field, “and after some difficult ‘traveling l in the sand we managed to capture him. We assured him of our friendliness and him a little water, which he drank eagerly. He ate as one starved and gradually seemed to regain consciousness of his real surroundings. “He told us that he had been prospecting in the mountains of Nevada and, running low in food, had started for the nearest town. Becoming lost, he had killed a cqyote and subsisted on the meat of the animal. When all of his food and water had given out he fell among the rocks and cut his left arm. Drinking his own blood, he subsisted in this horrible manner for two or,three days, when we came across him. “Not violent in his insanity, and seeming to be on the road to recovery, yye gave him more of the water we had to take from the radiator of our machine, having run entirely out of our own drinking supply. Then we gave him bedding and settled down for the night. About 10 o’clock Wahlraven awoke and found that he had escaped. We tried to find him, but without success. In the morning we trailed him as far as his footsteps Showed in the sand, but eventually lost his track and were unable to do anything more. Presumably he died a frightful death among the sand dunes and cactus. He had been eating the unripe fruit of this plant and chewing the leaves before we found him,” Field and his companion drove on to Trona, the nearest place, a distance of about six miles, and there notified the few residents of the place. They organized a search, but up to the time of departure of the mining men had not found a trace of the prospector. From all appearances he was an American, about 35 years of age.”-—Los Angeles Cor. New York 'Sun.

Colds Are Often Most Serious Stc.p Possible Complications. The disregard of a cold lhas often brought many a regret. The fact of sneezing, coughing, or a fever should be warning enough that your sysmet needs immediate attention. Certainly loss of sleep is most serious. It is a warning given by nature. It is a man’s duty to himself to assist by doing his part. Dr. King’s New Discovery is based on a scientific analysis of colds. 50c at your Druggist. Buy a bottle today.—Advt. BIG PUBLIC SALE.
