Sam brook, a well-known resi- dent of Ellesmere Port,, has, after many months' experimenVing, perfected a device -which be obi illS will be an effective wea- pon of offence jsgs.inst Zeppeljjis. A Zep- pelin cmi remain afloat whau pierced from below because of the eecapa of gas being infinitesimal, and the object of this inven- j tion is to pierce a Zeppelin at the top and at the same time ignite the escaping gas. Tbe new weapon is an ordinary-sized bullet, charged with a special preparation known only to the inventor. Travelling at a, trermendous velocity, it emlito a tail of sparks, and as it enters the /.eppdin the sparks will ignite the gas and cautio fim, and as -it emerges from the envelope a.t the top wiU also ignite tbe gas there. The bullet can be fired from ordumiy rifles, but is most adaptable to aircraft and machine guns. It occupies twelve seconds before :it is spent, but is capable of trmdlm FeveraJ thousand fewt before its effect has 1 vanished.
