She barracks at Aldershot at 3 o'clock

night was unusually dark, and at a
height of 1000 feet the balloon could
not be seen from the ground by ar
my men who were watching for it.
1t would have been u simple mat
ter to have dropped bombs on almost
any building in the city" Captain
Capper declared. THE lights of the
city made 1t easy to see many of the
important buildings, while we were in
complete obscurity. / think our trip

numerous and among the leading
notes of fashion. With them are
worn supplementary wraps intended
for handsome effect quite as much as
for comfort, though an element of the
latter is gained by the combination
of two or three different materials
upon a wrap Most of the materials
selected for summer surtouts require
a lining, if nothing more substantial
ifan chiffon which in turn requires
mounting of some thin silk; So by
the time the garment is suitably
mounted the wrap gains an element
of comfort, without presenting any
thing of a cumbersome or rnseason-
able appearance
The one feature that is practically
common to all the prevailing coat
models is the sleeves. Almost invar-
iably they are long and close-fitting
without a vestige of fullness at the
armsides. AS often as not they are
cut with the body.

KING EDWARDS WILL
NOT YET MADE KNOWN

Except that King Ed
ward bequeathed his racink stud to
King George, no public intimation
has been made of how His Majesty
disposed of his propIrty. Nor will
there be any announcement as to the
contents of the late kings will, it
being one of the unwritten laws Of
modern times that the last testaments
of dead monarchs are never pub
lished, nor even proved. Besides, the
money disposed Of is not subject to
death duties.
1t is understood, however, that
King Edward actually left two wills
One of these was a more or less for
NAL document, in which legacies
were set apart for Queen Alexandra
and the members of the family. Pro-
vision was also made for the estab-
lishment Of large trust. In the Sec
ond will directions are given as to
how the capital and interest of this
trust are to be dealt with. 1t may
be added that none of the members
OF the royal family are trustees under
this will.

AMERICAN INVASION OF
LONDON is BEGINNING

London.-The American invasion
of London has begun in earnest, and
there is every prospect of a record

thought in expressing the wish that
the amusements of the public should
not suffer because of the death of the
king, and the equally thoughtful or
der shortening the period of general
mourning have had an immediate eff
feet on the departure of Americans
for this country. Fully go per cent
of the American visitors in London
at the present time are not multi
millionaires, millionaires or even mil
lionaires in the making" the manager
of one of the largest American resi-
Dental hotels in London states. "They
are merely ordinary hard working
professional or business men and wo-
men. It is one of the most popular
English misconceptions of the day
that these people are millionaires.
With the majority the sum of not
more than 5000 covers the cost of
their entire trip.
Their itinerary is far more ex-
pensive. 1t is also quite untrue that
American visitors spend their money
recklessly while in England. The ma
jority show quite as keen business
acumen in obtaining the most value
from their pleasures as any other
foreign visitors, and, indeed, make a
shilling go quite as far as the average
Londoner. Another misconception is
that Americans in England demand
American food at their hotels. They
do not. While away from home they
ask for a complete change of food
and cooking. The only two excep-
tions are a heavy meat breakfast and
iced water at all meals"

The former is the Spanish theory
the latter has been the contention of
Admiral Sigsbee and the naval board
which conducted the inquiry following
the disaster and is commonly accepted
by the people of this country.
In order to raise the wreck intact
the army engineers will have to build
a cofferdam about the Maine and the
water will then. be pumped out
Steel piles will be interviewer about
the wreck and the crevices filled with
cement to make the dam water tight.
Derricks will then lift the wreck and
she will probably be towed to the
nearest drydock, where naval officials
will inspect her.
The Maine les in thirty-five feet of

that the actual work win be let to a
