Carry Piano BY AirpIane.

Carrying a grand piano by airplane
from London store to a customer in
France was only spectacular feat,
done for the advertisement. No one
thinks seriously of establishing an air
plane line to carry grand pianos; but
merchandise of many kinds is trans
ported across the channel every day
by airplanes that run on a regular
schedule. A British airplane COM
pany has received an offer of SIS an
ounce to bring from Shanghai to Lon
don certain essences that are used in
manufacturing perfumes; London pa
pers are delivered regularly in dis
tant cities by airplanes; passenger air
plane lines are announced between
New York and Atlantic City, between
Los Angeles and San Diego and be-
tween Calcutta and Simla-to mention
no others; and tickets are already on

ledge of rock. Both masts were down,
and, lifted as the bow was, it was easy

crushed their way through. The bows
had caught, seemingly damned In be-
cabin port holes barely above reach Of

away, my eyes could discern no sign
of any boat, no evidence of the crew,
along the wide sweep Of water. A
voice aroused me.
