Invisible Aeroplane,

A German engineer has invented for
military use an aeroplane that is vir.
tually invisible. According to the En-
gineer, the wings Of this novel aero
plane are made, not Of the usual cloth
fabric or other visible material, but Of
a transparent celluloid that is said to
be quite fireproof. These transparent
wings have two advantages: The aero
plane can hardly be seen at all when
half a mile in the air, and the aviator
has an unobstructed view in every di.
rection. The motor of the new aero
plane is fitted with a silencer so that
the machine is not only Invisible, but
virtually noiseless.

War Mar suVer of 1912.

One hundred years ago a British
force landed on the Massachusetts
coast and attacked the little village Of
Wareham. Earlier in the year the
British squadron, which for many
months had maintained strick block
ade along the New England coast, had
commenced active operations by send
ing an expedition up the Connecticut
river. Now the enemy's depredations
were extended to the Massachusetts,
coast. Wareham and the town of Scit-
uate were the first sufferers. A sud
den descent made by boats crews
from the frigates Superb and Nimrod
so completely surprised the inhabi-
tants that the enemy burned the ship
ping at the wharves, looted the shops
and returned to their vessels before
the bewildered villagers had time to
take any measures for defense.
