Show Science is Now Creating Weapons Far More Deadly, That Will Annihilate Life Throughout Whole Countries in Future In the words of Wells "Never before In the history ot warfare had there been a continuing explosive Indeed, up to the midd a of the twentieth century the only ex plosives known were combustibles whose explosiveness was due entirely to their lnstantaneousness and these atomic bombs which science burst upon the world that night were strange even to the men who used them Those used by the Allies were lumps of pure carolinum painted on the outside with unoxldlzed cydona tor Inducive enclosed hermetically la a case of membranlum A little eel lulold stud between the handles by which the bomb was lifted was ar ranged so as to be easily torn off and admit air to the Inducive which at once became active and set up radio activity in the outer layer of the carolinum sphere. This liberated fresh Inducive and so in a few min utes the whole bomb was blazing con tlnual explosion Such wns the crowning triumph t ml itary science the ultimate ex plosive that was to gl e the decisive touch to war It is certain that there are infinite powers of destruction In the wireless waves with which we are partly fa miliar A wireless generating plant raised to several thousand times the power now employed will be able to destroy life and property at a dis tance of a thousand miles or more Another no el implement of destruction de-struction will be an enormous fly wheel armed with scythe like blades which will cut down every human being in their path. Everybody fa miliar with machinery knows the xer rifle power of a heavy flywheel In motion It Is proposed that the wheels shall he carried in large aero planes and dirigible balloons The cutting blades wi 1 be arranged at an angle so that they will Increase the revolutions of the wheel as It falls through the air The man In the machine will drop the wheel over a force of the enemy and then after gaining terrific momentum it will go churning thro gh the r bodies with its long curved knives In this way a trenoh could be cleared of life or a whole encampment swept away All these methods of slaughter will It is hoped hasten the day when no nation will dare to go to war beoause It will threaten the very existence of the human race |
