ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.
ANOTHER NON-STOP FLIGHT. TWO AMBITIOUS SCHEMES. LONDON. June 19. A former war pilot, Konnecke, is contemplating a Don-stop flight from Berlin to San Francisco, via the Azores, says the Berlin correspondent of the Times. The aviator proposes to drop mailbags en route and to call at New York on his return journey to pick up mails. He will be accompanied by a reserve pilot and two passengers, including an industrialist who is financing the attempt to prove the possibility of a regular Europe-Afnerican mail service.
M. Audrien Remy, a French inventor, will attempt a transatlantic crossing in a glider-'plane of his own design, writes the Cherbourg correspondent of the Times. The machine is equipped with three aerial propellers, each worked with a 40-horse power engine, mounted on a turret.
