AEROPLANES FOR BATTLESHIPS
An aeroplane costs $5000. An ar
mored cruiser costs $5,000,000. The
best of our armored cruisers, the Ten:
pessees and the Montanas, have been
rendered obsolete by the inflexible

pf interest, both tactically and econom- |
leallyy, The coming attempt of an |
aeroplane to fly from the deck of an
poean steamer back to New York hor
por is a matter of prime moment. |
Though the federal government has |
rescinded the order detalling torpedo
boats to assist in the experiment, the |
pavy department will keep official |
watch on it. The result of this experi |
ment may determine whether the |
naval authorities will equip the next |
pew battleship with an aeroplane and
the necessary facilities for making a |
flight from the ship's deck while at |
sea. The advent of the battleship
cruiser has made our best cruisers |
nothing but scouts, and not rapid ones,
says the Chicago Record-Herald. Yet
the cost of their maintenance is al
most that of a dreadnought If the
aeroplane can perform scout duty at |

reduced. This new application

Cape Town once lived under so se
vere a code of sumptuary laws that
anything like display was restricted |
to the governor and his Immediate
circle. Thus runs Article VI. of the
Dutch laws against luxury and osten- |
tation: “No one less in rank than a |
junior merchant and those among the |
citizens of equal rank and the wives |
and daughters only of those who are
or have been members of any coun. |
cil shall venture to use umbrellas.” |
In practice this restricted the posses |
sion and use of umbrellas to about 50 |
persons In Cape Town.
An inventor In New York claims to
have perfected a solid fuel for auto

are that it gives off no odor and Is

for the purpose of having him ac
