(7) Where illuminating gas is used in a room which is vacant at night, shut the windows tightly, turn on the gas, and leave a candle burning in the room, closing the door tightly behind you.

(7) Lorsque du gaz d'éclairage est utilisé dans une pièce qui est inoccupée la nuit, fermez les fenêtres hermétiquement, ouvrez le gaz et laissez une bougie allumée dans la pièce, en fermant la porte hermétiquement derrière vous.

After a time, the gas will explode, and a fire may or may not follow.

Au bout d'un moment, le gaz explosera, et un incendie pourra ou non s'ensuivre.

(b) _Water and miscellaneous_

(b) _Eau et divers_

(1) Ruin warehouse stock by setting the automatic sprinkler system to work.

(1) Détruisez les stocks d'entrepôt en déclenchant le système d'arrosage automatique.

You can do this by tapping the sprinkler heads sharply with a hammer or by holding a match under them.

Vous pouvez y parvenir en frappant brusquement les têtes d'arrosage avec un marteau ou en tenant une allumette en dessous.

(2) Forget to provide paper in toilets; put tightly rolled paper, hair, and other obstructions in the W. C.

(2) Oubliez de fournir du papier dans les toilettes ; mettez du papier étroitement roulé, des cheveux et d'autres obstructions dans les W.-C.

Saturate a sponge with a thick starch or sugar solution.

Saturez une éponge avec une solution épaisse d'amidon ou de sucre.

Squeeze it tightly into a ball, wrap it with string, and dry.

Pressez-la fermement en boule, entourez-la de ficelle et laissez sécher.

Remove the string when fully dried.

Retirez la ficelle une fois complètement sèche.

The sponge will be in the form of a tight hard ball.

L'éponge se présentera sous la forme d'une boule dure et compacte.

Flush down a W. C. or otherwise introduce into a sewer line.

Faites-la descendre dans un W.-C. ou introduisez-la autrement dans une canalisation d'égout.

The sponge will gradually expand to its normal size and plug the sewage system.

L'éponge se dilatera progressivement jusqu'à sa taille normale et obstruera le système d'égout.

(3) Put a coin beneath a bulb in a public building during the daytime, so that fuses will blow out when lights are turned on at night.

(3) Placez une pièce de monnaie sous une ampoule dans un bâtiment public pendant la journée, afin que les fusibles sautent lorsque les lumières sont allumées la nuit.

The fuses themselves may be rendered ineffective by putting a coin behind them or loading them with heavy wire.

Les fusibles eux-mêmes peuvent être rendus inefficaces en plaçant une pièce de monnaie derrière eux ou en les chargeant avec un fil épais.

Then a short-circuit may either start a fire, damage transformers, or blow out a central fuse which will interrupt distribution of electricity to a large area.

Un court-circuit pourrait alors soit déclencher un incendie, endommager des transformateurs, soit faire sauter un fusible central qui interrompra la distribution d'électricité sur une grande zone.
