TO FLY OVER LONDON.

London. July 11.-A remarkable
airship trial is to take place from
the Ranelagh Club grounds tomorrow
when Stanley Spencer. the young
aeronaut, who sailed over the north
ern suburbs of London last year, will
take a new and powerful airshlp
across the metropolis at a speed
which may range up TO 80 miles an
hour.
A distinguished gathering will be
present to watch the start The jour
ney through the air will not be de-
pendent on perfect weather condl-
tions, the great power Of the new
ship being sufficient to force it
through winds which would alto
gether stop a smaller craft. A storm
might delay the start. but ordinary
summer breezes will make little or no
difference.
The total length of the new ship is
about 90 feet and the breadth in the
widest part about % feet. Beneath
the cigar shaped balloon is suspen-
ded the bamboo framework, carrying
the one or two passengers, the petrol
motor. the screw tractor or propeller,
and the rudder. The motor is placed
in the front half Of the framework,
the car in the back half The prOpel-
Ter is fixed in front. the rudder at the
rear. Everything is worked from the
car by an apparatus similar TO that
used for operating the brake on cy-
cles
The airship with which the success
full experiments were made last year
was of four-hOrse power, while the
new ship is Of 24-hOrse power. The
maximum speed of the former was
10 miles an hour. AMI of the latter 80
miles an hour The two blade schew

of a silk-cOvered framework. The

morrow the daring inventor will be
AS to the power OF the airship, Mr..
Spencer says it will be able to go
through any wind the velocity Of
which does not exceed 80 miles an
hour. Extended Journeys are planned
by the inventor, and he says he hopes
to provide further surprises for the
SpectOrs.

OUR JAPANESE TRADE
IMPORTS FROM UNITED STATES
EXCEED THOSE FROM ENGLAND.
New Mark stablished-India's Cotton
Supplanting That From This Coun-
try in Past Few Years.

Imports into Japan from the United
States for the first time exceed those from
the united kingdom In the six months end
ing with June 1903, the imports into Japan
from the United States were "a $50, 493 yen,
against % 500, 500 from the united kingdom.
This is the first annual or Semi-annual
period in which the imports from the United
States into Japan have exceeded those of
the united kingdom.
In 1851 the imports into Japan from the
United States were less than two million
ven against more than sixteen millions
from the united kingdom; in 1891 from the
United States a little less than 7,O0O,OO0
ven. against 200O0.000 from the united
kingdom: in 1900, 62,OOO.OO0 yen from the
United States, against 7l.00O,00 from the
united kingdom; in 1901 and 1902 following
the increase in the Japanese tariff, the
total imports into that country showed a
considerable reduction, and a conse-
ouence the imports from the United States
in 1902 were but As, 652,S 24 yen, against co.
3G4 O29 yen from the united kingdom. In
the six months ending with June 1903, the
imports from re United States were a.
$50 430 yen, against %. SOB ,Go4 yen from
the united kingdom.
In 1881 the United States furnished less
than 6 per cent of the imports into Japan
and the united kingdom furnished over so
per cent. In 1902 the United States fur
uished 10 per cent of the total imports
and the united kingdom 1875 per cent, while
in the six months ending with June 1903
the United States supplied 10 per cent of
the imports into japan and the united king
dom 1913 per cent.
one cause of the reduction in Imports
from the United States into Japan since
1900 is the fact that that country is in re-
cent years buying more largely of her raw
cotton from India. The total value of i'm
ports into Japan from India has grown
from less than S,0OO,000 yen In 1892 to 40 :
600 900 yen in 1902, and in the six months
ending with June, 1903, was SO, go 954 ven.
The mportations of ginned cotton into
Japan from the United States amounted in
1900 to LIPS 34 piculs and in 1902 to 73I.
500 piculs while from India the imports of
ginned cotton in 1890 were 739O73 piculs
and in 1902, l, 7GS1S9 picuIs. The value of
imports of raw cotton from the United
States in 1900 was 100000 yen and in 1900
l9CC0, 600 yen, while that from India was
in 1900, 100000 yen, and in 1902 80 900 OuO
yen.
This partial transfer of the cotton trade
of Japan from the United States to India
accounts for the fact that the percentages
which the United States supplied of the
total imports of Japan in 1902 and the first
half of 1903 was less than in 1909 in which
year We supplied 2l.96 per cent of the total
imports of Japan.
