(Received May 31 8.40 a.m.) ■LONDON, May 30. A novel development in i!he uses of the aeroplane is its adaptation for forest survey purposes, giving exact and speedy information as to the extent of a forest and the most suitable lines for cutting tracks. It is expected to do valuable work in opening lands not fully explored. A number of aeroplanes are now in course of shipment'to Canada for this work, while others- are being sent to India. The machines are designed both for cargo and passengers, and are fitted with interchangeable land carriages 'and floats.
