Major-Gcneral Mason M. Patrick, of the United States Air Service, has added a new chapter in aviation by launching an aeroplane 2000 feet up. The experiment was made with a plane hooked underneath the car of an army dirigible. It was intended to show primarily how, in war times, dirigibles can transport planes. The plane is hooked on to a trapeze, and may attach itself back again. This opens a "new vista in the use of the aeroplane, both in peace and war.
