the nroneller and 100 cartridges for each gun
Returning now 10 the bombing machines, the
tvpes best known are the German G0tha, which
is virtually a copy of the British Handiey-Palmer'
and the italian CaprOni. The dimensions OF the
latter cannot be given. for the machines are IN
several sizes the smaller being biplanes the
largest being q triplane. Those Of the GOtha Il
III are known. It is a biplane with 4 wing spread
Of III feet and fuSeage 4O3S feet long; II can 90
96.S miles an hour. ascend 1850 feet and carry
load of 1920 pounds of bombs besides at least Two
men.
It was necessary to put three planes on the
larger Caproni, in order to carry the immense
weight at high speed. II has three fuselages,
each with its motor, the one in the middle
being much shorter than the others. The right
and left fuselages have propellers in front, the
middle fuseIase has . propeller behind. The mo-
tors are 240-horse-pOwer IsOtta-Fraschini.
The Caproni are slow machines-only about 90
miles an hour-and is capable Of fighting single
handed against the little wasps OF the air. They
are unique in that any OF their motors SUI
fees to propel the machine; therefore. all three
must be stopped by bullets before it is disabled.
In this last respect its only rival is-sO far as
known at present wrfting-the great German
Gotha. which has two motors. either OF which will
propel it.
One of the most striking facts about the evolu-
tion OF air craft since the war began is that the
monoplane has virtually disappeared Quite early
In the war the French Newport grew an extra
pair OF wings The principal reason why TWO
pairs are better than one is that lifting power in
the air depends npoR the area Of the wings. Now
the Gotha's two paixS Of wings are III feet long
and 1926 feet wide. which gives Of $50
square feet for each pair. or ,12S square feet
the total wing surface. If this ali in single
plane. the wing would have 10 be about 15S feet
long If they had ,he same breadth as now: and
the leverage OF the wind on their ends would be
so great that the machine would be absolutely IN
manageable
For this same reason the biggest of the CaprOnI.
which is by far the largest thing in the air. has
three planes instead OF two.

A woman who goes into a shop this

pays $40 where she once paid SIS for
it. This is as near the average figure
as tho shops can get. She asks If the
material will wear. IL 1t will hold its

good. and when she finds that they
are just what they once were. but that
they are not up to her modern stand
