No Kissing Campaign.
The osculatory campaign, which the
American suffragists have been advised
to organize for the purpose of convert
ing members of the United States SEN
ate to their way of thinking, is not
likely to be adopted by their sisters in
England
Cabinet ministers who have been con-
juring up blissful mental pictures of the
time when the young pleaders of the
woman's. cause would offer kisses for
their support, are doomed to disap-
pOintment. Miss Christabel Pankhurst
says so.

Simply because it's frivolous, silly and
impractical. That's why"
Miss PankhuTst laughed when asked

Architectural Beauty.
The Piccadilly Arcade, which is to be
opened on March %, will no doubt come
to be regarded as one of the architec-
tural sights of the West End. Now
that the scaffolding is being removed
the passer-by is able to appreciate the
elaborate character of the design.
The building, which, by the way, is
planned by an American architect, has
cost more than 100000. 1t contains
all the features of comfort and elegance
to which our American visitors are used
at home, and LOndoners f1atter them
selves by believing 1t surpasses any
similar building in New York.
An interesting feature of the Arcade
is that ii VIII have it's own artesian
well, which will supply the whole build
ing. The water will be pumped up by
machinery from depth of 400 feet. The
cost of constructing the we'll has been
$1,000, and it is thought that the ar
engagements will prove very economical
Maxim's Latest Invention.
Sir Hiram Maxim, who was the pio-
neer of motor propelled flying ma
chimes, has built an aeroplane which he
believes is superior to anything yet in
vented.
Seventeen years ago Sir Hiram began
the remarkable experiments which re-
suited in his being able to lift a weight
of 10000 pounds by a motor-propelled
aeroplane. They cost him a large
amount of money, and the conclusions
at which ne arrived and which were
freely divulged were of invaluable help
to other eXperimenters.
Now Sir Hiram, at the age of 20, has
taken the field again. He has invented
a biplane, which is said by those who
have seen it, to be extremely graceful,
and gives promise of being equally eff
fective. Not only the design of the ma
chine, but the engine and practically
every detail of the mechanism are the
outcome of Sir Hiram Maxim's own
ideas.
Briefly, it may be said that the ex-
IRENE breadth of the biplane is forty
four feet. The engine is a four-cylin-
der and of eighty horse power. It
weighs 300 pounds or a little more than
two and one-fOurth pounds per horse
power. There are three screws-a small
one being fitted by the motor shaft, and
the other two being driven by new
system of transmission. These screws
extend to port and starboard through a
space Of no less than twenty-six feet
There are horizontal rudders fore and
aft, and a vertical rudder. A gyroscop-
ic regulator is among the novelties
which have been introduced, and an
other is for a pneumatic buffer, which
has been placed between the front
wheels and the body of the machine.
