Discussing his plans for building military aeroplanes in conjunction with. M. Bleriot and Sir Hiram Maxim, Mr Claude Craba-me-White said : -—Wo shall set ourselves the task, at Hendon, of constructin" a very powerful war machine, capable of dropping bombs in'a manner that will simaze throe who are still apathetic. We shall build an initial machino which will be. capable of raising into the air a load of explotdv-ee weighing I,ooolb, in addition to the pilot and the engineer, who will attend to the releasing of the bombs by means of special mechanism. What these explosives will be, and how their effect will be governed, will bo Sir Hiram Maxim's businees. Hi.s knowledge of such matters is second to none. Our preliminary work will bo largely concerned with the production of .a thoroughly effective incendiary bomb. Imagino a squadron of fifty such aeroplanes us we shall build belonging to a foreign Power, and living over London upon a destructive mission, ready to drop more than twenty tons of incendiary bombs upon the city! Is this any longer a dream'; It, is not. It is becoming very rapidly a possibility that it. is'our duty to face. Consider what damage would be done by fifty such machines .' It should bo possible for a war aeroplane, even with the present engines, to remain aloft for six hours, with an appreciable supply of destructive, bombs, and cover a distance, without descending, of 300 miles. These figures are not speculation; they represent facts. The Vicar : " Now. children, what is false-, doctrine?" Inspired Maiden: "Please, sir, bad medicine!"
