Cost Of Flying AeropIanes.

1t is estimated that the fuel and
oil costs of an aeroplane of high pow
er run into about five dollars per hour
of fight In England there are from
one hundred and twenty to one hun
dred and fifty aeroplanes, and as each
machine is expected to do about two
hundred and fifty hours flying annual
ly, the significance of high fuel costs
will begin to be appreciated. It will
be measured by a fuel and oil bill of
about one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars year at retail prices. Those
Pwho read the signs expect the rate of
increase of aircraft to continue to
one thousand aeroplanes, and many
dozens Of airships within the next two
years mean probably q fuel and oil
bill of $1,250,000. It has been further
estimated that on the above SUPPOSE
ton of development aeronautics may
be expected within two years to take
one-sixth part of the fuel consumption
of all the motor-vehicles in Britain.
or the total consumption, estimated
by Mr.. Critchley at about one hundred
million gallons~a year, it seems that
twenty million gallons are used by the
omnibuses and taxicabs of London.
while motor boats, motor cycles and
sundry users take 100000, SO that
on this basis the 100000 vehicles In
England take 70,00O.OO0 gallons.

sition was embarrassing, but 1t was
up to him to recover the hare, and he
kept on running. At times he seemed
to be gaining little. Suddenly, just
at most exciting time, he stubbed
his toe and fell. When he picked him

from sight over a rocky ledge. The
agent stopped short, with look Of
distress on his face, and laborer re-
