a future even greater than that of the land machine pure and simple.
 The most striking proof perhaps N, the interest which is now taken in hydro -aeroplaning is the fact that for the first time a tournament reserved for this type of aircraft took place at Monaco some 10 days ago.
 That the hydro -aeroplane will in the near future find a prominent place in the navies of the world has recently been demonstrated by the remarkable experiments carried out in America, in France. and. on a lesser scale, in this country. The machine itself differs but little in shape and size from the now familiar monoplane or biplane, but in order to enable it to alight on and rise from water. it is fitted with spe- cially constructed floats or pontoons
 In the newest and up to now most successful type of hydro -aeroplane-the Curtiss-the machine Is fitted with twin tractor screws. It has developed a speed of 60 miles per hour in the air and 50 miles over the sea. Pilotng a machine of this type, Paulhan, the hero of the London to Manchester air race. flew recently from Juan-les- Lius to Nice, aDghting on his way in the Mediterranean. Starting up again, he descended on the surface of the sea, and rose easily and gracefully. flying back to his headquarters at Juan-les- Lius. In view of the success achieved, he intends, it is said, to fly this sum mer from Calais to London, to alight in the channel, thence make his way to the British capital, descending fin ally on the Thames.
 Numerous other instances of the re- liability of the hydro -aeroplane might be given, such as the tests carried out by the American aviator, Coffyn, on ha Iix In near Paris, CoolieX, driving a Voisin ''canard," conducted a series of equal ly successful experiments.
 In this country excellent work has al ready been done in the same direction by Mir. oscar Gnosspelius on Lake N indermere. Commander Schwann at Barrow, on Ayro biplane, and Lieuten- Iant Longmore, who has made several flights on a Short machine. from the Eastchurch aerodrome, alighting on the water in Sheerness Harbourg, and thence flying back to Eastchurch.

AMUNDSEN IS NOW
 DENMARK'S HERO

Copenhagen. April 6.-(Special l- Amundson has taken the taste of Cook out of the mouths of scientific Denmark. The man who discovered the south pole Is today about as popular in Copen- hagen as he is in Christiania and that is saying a great deal. Polar exploration has been rather a sore subject here up to the time the news of Amundsen' $ success was received, but now 1t is re- stored to it's former high place in the minds of the scientists of Copenhagen University.
 Denmark and Sweden will join heartily with Norway in honoring the explorer. Already pretty nearly sufficient subscrip- i. ions have been received to pay the l9,o0o 1xi,onen fsl9500) owed by Amundsen for the expedition and in a short time a subscription is to be started to raise fund which will make the man who has brought much honor to Scandinavia in- dependent for life.
 When Amundsen returns home it is pro- posed to give him such reception as has never been seen in Norway. < If will be worthy of the traditions Of z, sons of the Vikings.

 T0LOND0N SCHOOL

London, April -(Special.)-A friend of London University, who desires to remain anonymous foF the present has offered to contribute s5Oo.Ooo towards the acqusi- ton of the vacant land immediately to the north of the British Museum as the site of the proposed new headquarters of the University.
 The donor, who has already done a great deal for university education, states that he considers this site the most cen tral and suitable one and holds that the University of London ought to be the chief educational institution of the em- pire.
 The site Is part of the Duke of Bed- ford's estate and extends from Montague Place to Torrington square. There are four plots available for building, and the aggregate area is nearly two and a half acres. The plots lie two on each side of the British Museum avenue. a broad thoroughfare leading from Torrington square to the King Edward VII. exten- sion of the museum
 An option to purchase expiring on March 95. has been granted by the Duke of Bedford.
 It is calculated that or the site there would be ample room for a Senate House, a hall for meetings of convocation, the general university library. common rooms for students and quarters for the University heads The situation is ex- cellent for fine architectural treatment.
 The offer was made to Lord Haldane, who is chairman of the Royal Commission on University Education in London.

'1f the army requires hawks, the navy wants webfooted hawks to alight on and to rise from the water"
 This statement has a double signif- canoe It comes from a member of the royal family, who is also a vice admiral-Prince Louis of Battenburg. When the prince, few weeks ago. spoke these words, he was doubtless already conversant with the preparations the admiralty were making in connection with the development of aviation for naval purposes. What better proof. then, can be given of the earnestness with which the British sea lords are entering on the great task of building fleet of hydro aeroin- nes-air going as well as sea going flying machines which are destined 10 become. in course of time. indispensable auxilIaries to the Dreadnaughts?
 It is, l take it, unnecessary to dwell on the urgency and importance of util- izing the "webfooted hawks" in the navies of the world.

No surprise is expressed among trade unionists at the heavy falling off in the membership of the unions connect ed with the building trades during the period 19ol-1o as revealed in the Board Of Trade returns just issued An inn provement has now set in. however. and 1t Is expected that the figures will show a tendency each year to return to their former high level.
 Twelve or fourteen years ago there
 was boom in the building trade" Mir. Stennett, secretary of the London Dis trict of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners, told me yester- day Parents sent their sons into the business In large numbers. Then came a period of depression: many men were thrown out of work 49r months at A
 time. and. being unable to pay their contributions droppec out of the unions. Afterwards, to make matters worse, came a revolution in the meth
 ods of constructing large buildings. owing to the development of steel and
 concrete architecture. More bricklayers were thrown out of work, carpenters were replaced by plasterers. and so on. We are only now beginning to recover from these changes. but there is every prospect of better times ahead. A great deal of building is going forward, and we are settling down to the new con ditions."
