SPEED OF AEROPLANES.
NEW TURBINtf APPARATUS. (Australian ana N.z. Cable Association) n - LONDON, Feb. 25. A noted French scientist, M. Rateau, says he has invented a turbine apparatus which mnintains a normal air pressure for aeroplane engines at the highest altitude. He claims that aeroplanes will thus be able to utilise the decreased air resistance at great heights without the loss of engine efficiency. - He believes a speed will be attained double anything hitherto known. One test showed an increase from 88 to 150 miles per hour.
