" NULL I SECUNDUS": THE MILITARY AIRSHIP'S FLIGHT TO LONDON. On a recent Saturday morning, Londoners in hundreds and thousands came streaming out from shop, office, and warehouse to stare at the unexpected and most gratifying sight of the new airship motorirg high over London.

What the airship had done and how it had fared is best told in the words of its steersman, Colonel Capper. The " Nulli Secundu* " came down finally at the Crystal Palace. With Colonel CappeT in the airship was Mr Cody. Colonel Capper described the events of the trip, andl expressed the liveliest satisfaction with the performance of the " Nulli Secundus " on what, as he emphasised, waa a purely experimental trip. —Photo, by Halftones, Ltd.
