The "Daily Chronicle"' says that the dreams of Jules Verne are beginning to come true. Aeronautical experts now see a way to build in metal flying-ma-chines as big as may be required for the most ambitious military or commercial project. Metal structural parts have been made to a size'utterly impossible in wood construction.
Furthermore, aero engines have been constructed in England capable of devoloping 'over a thousand horse-power with weight brought so- low that it is possible to use them for aviation. Research is now seeking to discover the largest aeroplane it is possible to build successfully.
