did not come. Even to a man living

have sought academic degrees through

decided whether Il man is to be en-
gagged or not.
Under this depressing condition
young men have too often taken lit

The rapid development of the hydro
aeroplane-the combined boat and fly
ing machines already affecting the
design of warships, American naval
architects believe that the hvdro-aero-
plane will be an important auxiliary
arm in future sea warfare. According
to the Shipbulding and Shipping
Record, the small size of these flying
machines, combined with the fact that
they can be made to aHght with Ger
tGnty upon a predetermined area of
small dimensions, makes it quite posi-
bic that the equipment of the super
dreadnought of the near future will
include one or more hydro-aeroplanes
together with suitable landing plat
form. 1t is by no means improbable
that large passenger vessels will be
similarly equipped at a not very dis
/ tant date, as the value of a hydro
aeropIane in the event of such a dis
/ aster as that of the Titanic might be
I incalculable.
