Tourists Did Not Deface Tomb of
shakespeare

London. Sept 1.-THE vicar of STRAIT
ford-on-Avon. writing in the September
number of the Parish Magazine. explains
why he was obliged to rail off Shakes
peare's tomb on Sundays during the holt
day season. He denies that Americans
alone were TO blame. and says that I'M
fortunately there are many Englishmen
who attend the Sunday services appar-
emily with the sole object of getting On
opportunity of seeing the grave and
monument as soon as the service is over.
1t viii be remembered that some time
ago the vicar was reported TO have made
the statement that a certain class OF
Americans attend the services in the par
ish church merely 10 visit Shakespeare's
tomb in the chancel. Also that Ameri-
cans brought picture postcards into the
church and addressed them during the
services.

NEW ALLOY DISCOVERED.
Duralumin to BE Used in Building
of AerOplanes.

London, Sept T.-Durslumin. the new
alloy discovered by II. B. Weeks, head
chemists of Vickers Sons & Maxim. is
the outcome Of experiments lasting
months. 1t is believed that the new
metal. which is an excellent substitute
for steel, will be extensively used.
II is known that duralumin is being
utilized in connection with the naval air
ship now being constructed at Barrow.
The value of the alloy for aeroplanes and
dirigibles is shown by the fact that while
IL IS slightly heavier than pure aluminium
II is as strong as steel. II is also not so
easily corrOdible. 1t is only one-third
the weight of brass, and II will be posi-
bic by its use to reduce weights by two
thirds without sacriicing strength or
durability
Its uses for fittings and various ap-
planes in connection with war ships
may result in important developments.
II it were possible to replace steel b.
duralumin in naval construction IL would
mean the saving OF several thousand tons
in a vessels displacement.
