DISCOVERIES OF SCIENCE
DEADLY POISON GAS A HEW METAL Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. NEW YORK, December 16. (Received December 17, at 10.30 a.m.) Dr Hilton Jones, of Chicago, a chemist of international reputation, announces that there is a new poison gas (caco-dyliso cyanide), which is so deadly that it would destroy armies in the next war as easily as a man snuffs out a candle. Alongside this deadly discovery is that of another now metal called borrvllium, which has twice tho tensile strength of steel, and which is only half the weight of ammunition. A 400 horse-power airplane engine built of this metal would be so light that a man could cany it under his arm.— United Service.
