any sums received from funds At the extra Is. Sd. week. A link with Voltaire and Rousseau has been snapped by the death of the late Sir H. M. .Stanley's Haother-in- | law, Mrs. Gertrude Tenhant. A friend | Of this descendant of Cromwell was Louis Philippe. He used to tell how when a was a boy, playing in the Palais Royal a carefully dressed old man approached, him, laid his hands upon the future kings head, and said; 1 Remember that you have had the 1 blessing of Yeltaire." Upon another
 occasion the boys tutor pointed to
 man in the street, saving: You will | be glad to have seen that man; that
 is Jean Jacques"
 "lt is not exceptional for asrspIanes 1 to continue flying when their pilots have been killed" said an officer of
 the Royal Air FoFee the other day, to
 an "Eyefihg Standard representative. There have been cases of machines
 eontinuing until their petrol has been exhausted. We have captured Ger fnaii machines with their pilots dead" Ih a recent case just brought to notice the officer explained a Bristol fighter two scatter. with guns fore and aft)3 started at 1.30 D. m. in good flying weather. At $500 feet the two
 airmen, running 80 miles an hour at
 tackled a German AlbatF6ss. Three ether machines two of them German
 joined in the action.
 The Bristol machine hung on to it's Iduaffy. and eventually got it veil un-
 der the nose, the German crashing T
 a sweep south. It had lost height ii
 nanoeuvering and was rocking badly
 as if out Of control; but it kept stead
 fly on uhtil it was lost to view.
 "A little before o'clock the machine Efell to earth nearly 20 miles west cf
 Arras. Both it's. occupants were foa,ld
 to be dead from bullet wounds Wliiaii had strdGk them in the back. The petrel tank was empty.
 There is na dcubt that the two men we're shot immediately the Ger
 man Albatress fell. The Bristol ms , chine, which is the best and most known Of it's own VelitiGn swept oIl a fairly even keel to a distance Ees- sibly ten miles from where the bat ; tie took place.
 "Then, from some reason that will
 never be known the controls were shifted and a circle was made. As the total distance covered must have been under 1s9 miles the machine seems to have lost speed and height } graduaily-pessibly due t6 some minor but not vital injury to the engine F'of , over two hours the two dead rtief : were in the air before the final crash ] to earth"
