SHOULD PLAN AIR TRAFFIC
Lord Montaau Predicts Time When
Craft VIII Travel on Serbs
Of Flying Levels.

In a recent address before the
Aeronautical society in London upon
the development Of aviation after
the war, Lord Montsgu Of Beaulieu
painted an imaginative picture Of
the possibilities Of air traffic In the
near future. He predicted o time
when the traveller from London will
save IL days in the jouruey 10 India
and 20 days TO Australia; vhen air
planes will cover Q regular sserA9s
Of / 200 miles q day and vAs1 trsf
fic viii be regulated in O series o.
air levels Of 1000 feet each-pri-
vate planes up 10 1000 feet; com
mercial machines in the next level I.
Ordinary flying" together with the
fast commercial machines, in the
NEXT; then the official planes Of each
nation (from 5000 to 10000 feet)
including those Of the air police, whs
will drop down on offenders in the
lower depths; and finally the levels
above 10000 feet, which will be used
for international travel.
Lord Montagu believes that there
will be such a tremendous increase
Of air travel at the close Of the war
that it is already time 10 consider
how routes shall be defined and kept,
and how the best use can be made
Of our present knowledge Of the air
currents Of the world. Such a pic
ture as Lord Montagu paints may
seem very unreal, says the Youths
Companion, but those who have seen
the birth Of the locomotive The ma
rine steam engine, the slectxic tele-
graph, the telephone, the submarine
cable, the motorcar and wireless
telsgrsphy and telephony vii not
be inredulous. The internal COM
bustion engine, with its Light weight
and high speed, was The beginning
Of an evolution the ultimate char
aeter Of which it is impOsStte to
foresee.

MADAME eHUg5y IS NO MORE
Great World War IL Alleged TO Be Re-
sponslble for the Collapse Of
Her Throne.

One highly significant parsonage
has quietly disappeared from public
view in the course Of the war-a very
great and powerful lady who, though
a commoner in name, style and title,
exercised a more ROYAL sway upon
our lives and our opinions not long
since, says the London Gentlewoman.
True, her dictates and rulings had,
Of late years, become of'lessened 70
gard, and her pertinaciOus author
ity had met with some ridicule in
stead OF the almost universal rev.
erence Of former days; still this si-
lent resignation, this complete re-
tirement from the arena, is surpris-
ing, and more surprising still is the
fact that nobody seems to have noted
il. Can it be that Mrs. Grundy is
definitely defunctp In the strictest
confidence, almost ia a whisper, let
US agree that she has had a long
inning, and that we will try to man
age to get along as best we may with
out her.
With womankind working in male
attire, and doing all sorts Of things
Of the most ungrundified descrip-
ton with a sort Of grovnup feeling
that we can manage our own lives by
the light of our own good sense and
good taste, and with a profound con-
viction that the future must be bet
ter than the past, let us trust that
she has gone and left no issue.

OLDEST EUROPEAN ROYALTY.

Though the late Emperor Francis
Joseph was the Oldest reigning SOW.

oldest royalty, says London Tit-Bits.
The Empress Eugene is -four years
older, while the dowager grand
duchess OF Neutrality-suspicious., the
grandmother Of the grand duke, was
eight years older. Thus the last sur.
wing grandchild Of George Ill was
the oldest royalty in Europe, the
elder sister Of the late duke Of Cam.
bridge, and consequently the aunt Of
Queen Mary Of England. II was on
june eS, 1s4S, that her marriage
took place at Buckingham palace.
She received an annuity Of $4,000 q
year from the British exchequer,
which, being paid since for the period
Of 70 years, would amount to the
tidy sum Of sl,O95,O0O. But when
the war broke out il was announced
that the annuity, as the lady was liy.
ing in Germany, would be stopped.
