MAY CROSS THE ATLANTIC
0utcn Aviator Seems to Have the
Right Idea in Project He
Has In Mind.

between Brazil and Guinea the At
lantic ocean is only about 500 miles
vide. From Newfoundland to ireland.
the narrOwest breadth north of the
equator, is nearly twice as far. From
New York to the nearest point OF
France is nearly three times as far
hitherto most schemes of aerial flight
across the Atlantic have contaminated
some northern route. That suggested
by the authorities of the san Francisco
exposition is by way of Labrador
Greenland and Iceland. II has re-
manned for the Dutch aviator. Van der
Born, to make the first preparation to
cross the ocean from continent TO con.
tinent without stop. and he proposes
TO take the southern route. Where the
Atlantic is narrowest.
Van der Born is now supervising the
construction Of new type of hydro
aoroplane. When 1t is complete he will
go to the port of Konakey, in French
Guinea, whence he promises to fly to
iernambuco, Brazil
The scheme is more plausible than
any Of the other discussed trans
oceanic flights. IL is natural and SEN
sible that the first crossing should be
attempted at the narrowest place even
though the fight must be longer than
any one of the stages of the Green
land route. There is. of course. the
danger of tropical air currents. but
these are not much more to be feared
than the storms of sub-Arctic regions
which are suggested for the northern
route.
No one who has observed the proR-
ress of aviation doubts that before
long the Atlantic viii be crossed nv
some venturesome flyer. There is no
reason to maintain an attitude Of
5cepticism toward the aviators of our
own day, who have done so much in
SO brief a time. and who may do as
much more within the next few years.

ally grow them, and il happens that the
opportunity has occurred at the present time
OF ON securing the services OF Il gentleman

the cotton ID question is grown. This gen
tleman is Mr., j., L. Fonda, who for many
years has lived IN one of the principal centres
of Sea Islund cotton growing in Florida, IT.
S. A., and whose business it has been 10 buy
cotton there for us. Mr.. Fonda has also had
occasion to give a good danl of attention to
the best systems OF improving the cotton both
in quantity and quality.
In visiting the West Indies Mr.. Fondu's
Instructions are to furnish us with all the in-
formation he can collect us to the prospects
Of Sea Island cotton growing. We have also
asked him to make particular enquiries MS to
any matters in which it might be possible
for usto cooperate with the Government aud
with the planters in order to make the
industry more satisfactory both to them and
to ourselves.
Mr.. Fonda sails from America early in

probable date Of his visit to you.
We beg to solicit Your kindly cooperation
