A FRENCH INVENTION
NON-INFLAMMABLE PETROL CONVINCING DEMONSTRATION. LONDON, June 17. The Daily Express states that two French experts (M. Henri Bardel and M. Ferricr) have invented a non-inflam-mable petrol, which eliminates the danger of fire either in the air or after a crash. Both are men of independent means. They declare that they do not intend to take a penny for their discovery. Their chief desire is to eliminate death from fire in aviation work. The petrol is made by special treatment, and a demonstration in which lighted matches and red hot bars were dropped into the petrol was entirely successful.
