Dr Junemann, an Austrian chemist, claims to have invented a fluid of most destructive properties. This fluid, when brought into contact with the air, after the explosion of a shell in which it has been contained, is transformed into gas whioh, being heavier than the air, descends to the ground, killing all men and animals within its reach, and moreover destroying iron, bronze, and other metals, as well as setting all inflammable things on lire. So at least the inventor declares in a letter recently published in one of the Vienna newspapers, and he adds that as far back. as 1848 he offered his invention tq the Austrian War Office, whioh, however, declined both then qnd on a subsequent oeoaslon to make experiments - For this reason he now gives publicity to it, as hia patriotic feelings do not allow him to reveal his secret to a foreign Government) .
