Show i Proposes to Drop Bombs From Semi-Difigible Balloon. Tin- iiil;ie at f'ol v. i m in an. I llm I'mlr tier Liiiilnn are likoly (u lie removed from Ihe scenery within a brief space rt time. A large number of American inin.U are bent upon tiie .leslnietioa of die places mentioned and Marno Idia.i, I'orrneilv a pupil at the West liili, hut now 'cmploved at Uinnhiim, is at work on a device to aceomplisli that i object. , . Klias's notion of eliminating consul-j consul-j eralde portions of IVrlin and other I desirable spots is simple. He proposes to blow them out of existence. Marno proposes to equip a senli-diriible aeroplane aero-plane with in rons bomb'. The aeroplane aero-plane is to be dispatched from a point within the American lines or some other 1 suitable place, with its H""1"1 I'lanes i and rudders adjusted in .such a. manner ' that it will flv in a fixed direction, at a fixed hoijvht and at a fixed speed. ' The aeroplane is to be supplied with homliR to which are time fuses, clocks or similar devices. The destruction of enemy works follows fol-lows when bombs are automatically released re-leased from the aeroplane upon the ' plane's arrival at a designed point above the property to be bombed. Jn order to make the effect of the bomb-nil bomb-nil operations more cerium the explosives explo-sives are to be released ill such a manner man-ner that thev will fall in umbrella fashion. The' aeroplane, alter dis-.hiirL'ine dis-.hiirL'ine the bombs, will be left to float off or to fall to the -round Wins has completed one model, whic n has given the vounfr inventor so much satisfaction In its operation that he has now undertaken the construction ot a second and 'larger model. This experimental experi-mental machine he hopes to complete by Christmas day. " ' " I MARNO ELI AS, who is ! working on a device to I cause ruination in Herlin. .-1 I . 1 i! " ' ? I If''- ,f ' M |
