Article Title and/or Image Caption (Dublin Core): The Giant Destroyer of the Future; Caption 1: The machine proposed by Mr. Shuman would be irresistible. With its front wheels measuring 200 feet in diameter, and the weights aggregating many tons dangling down in front from chains, it would plow through a whole town, blotting it out of existence as if it were a mere antheap. The wheels would be latticed, so that shot might pass through without destroying them.; Caption 2: Ordinary rivers and marshes would not stop the machine. Few rivers are more than fifty feet deep. The 200-foot wheels of the machine would dash through them as easily as an automobile thorough a pool of mud.
