TRANSFORMATION. We have seen the vaf-
Gus developments OF transportation IA
cilities, each step making for greater
speed in the movements OF increasing
numbers OF people. The stage coach be-
came too slow and the steam road fol-
lowed; then came the trolley. later the
third rail- electric. and now we have the
electric engine and automobile. with the
aeroplane beginning TO command our
serious attention.
THE question OF government plays
an all important part In the develop
ment of real estate. With the burden Of
bonded indebtedness and increasing OPP
Grating expenses. the only relief one may
obtain Is to go to the outlying districts,
via aeroplane. II you will. where land
Is still reasonably low and tho tax rate
is not so high. This" condition coupled
with superior transportation service at
a reasonable rate per mile and efficient
freight service. would make the outlying
district especially attractive.
New York is growing by leaps and
bounds as a commercial centre. 1t is
the gateway Of America and there Is
great necessity OF development OF out
lying districts. It "a logical to assume
that the subject of aeronaS.tcs will be
given favorable consideration with the
View of helping TO solve the great prob
lem OF transportation.

Some OF the objections to aeroplane

GIfmpsinE the Future.
Imagination falls TO picture definitely
what the future has in store, but visions
fash before the mind OF air squadrons
moving over the city, slighting at han
gars near the sides of the rivers or the
harbor. or at public aerodromes which
may be built upon the sites OF old build
ings, to rise from these points again TO
go to other points. At the pace aero
nautlcs are travelling one may expect
that at no distant day individual planes
will be parked on the roofs of buildings
and the business man will leave in his
air machine for his country home on
Staten Island. on Long Island, or in
Jersey. or Westchester county. with the
same confidence as that with which he
now begins a trip in an automobile or
a subway train.

SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. 14-Survey
OF the route Of the first section Of the
projected aerial service between sgd
ney and London was recently COM
pleted. The section extends from Sgd
ney to Darwin. which is on the north
coast Of Australia and relatively near
the Malayan archipelago. The service
will be carried on by sydney com
pany.
From Darwin the route will cross the
| sea to the island of Timor, proceed
along the Malayan archipelago to India.
and thence run to Bagdad or Port Said
probably the latter. From Port Said
II will cross Europe to London. The
| survey Of the second section OF the
route, from Darwin through Malaga to
Delhi, is now going on.
II Is expected that the first flight will
be made within the next few months,
| and II Is planned to have the proposed
passenger and commercial services in
full operation in about two years. IL
the company succeeds London will be
| reached regularly from here In 62 DAYS.
The Sydney-Darwin section Is 1900
miles. But the survey party travelled
about 1000 miles In order to select the
most satisfactory landing places or re-
lay stations.
When the flights are in full swing
business between sydney and London
will be greatly facilitated from the fact
that letters may be answered within
two weeks of their dispatch from here.
