To send a plane directly into the

Army fiiers learned the wisdom of

gines, as great as the clap Of the
hoofbeats of the 400 horses it dis
places, then a sudden cutoff Of this
energy, a graceful volplane and a
sweep to earth, the machine to be
brought to rest within an inch of a
designated spot and within a Sec

From doors in the fuseiage step
forth a dozen travellers, dressed as
though they were leaving a closed
automobile, but with flush which
only travel through the air at speed
greater than the fastest express
train can give. Twelve hours be-
fore they had been in Budapest, that
charming capital of old Bohemia with
which one can scarcely associate
the thought of the most modern OF
twentieth century locomotion. Now
they are debarking at LIE Bourget

London-Paris Travel.

The peak of travel comes late in
the day, when business men who
have completed a days business in
either London or Paris are return
ing to the other capital. Promptly
at 6:15 two planes appear in the
north, one being the express from
London, which has made the fastest
crossing of the day in 2 hours and

From Constantinople.
Or perhaps some of the voyagers
may have taken the plane when it
left Constantinople with its spired
mosques behind only the evening
before. They have Travelled with a
break in the journey overnight, a
distance of 1900 miles in brief

Gus voyagers, whose timidity and
fear of the breakneck speed of these

choose a voyage by boat or train. will
not arrive in Paris or London until
four or five days later, fatigued and
having undergone a travel equally

But the call of this giant plane

Vienna, Prague and Warsaw is only
one event in a busy day at LIE

leaves for London, and from then
until darkness falls there is con-
slant movement in the great air
port.
Test flights are now being made
at night, and soon the schedule of
flights will not be interrupted by
the going down of the sun. Giant
aerial beacons and the many light
houses which dot the Channel
coasts will light up the aerial high
way so that pilots can drive their
planes between London and Paris,
always in sight of one of the string
of lights which will mark out the
course between the two capitals

especially in view of the Channel
fogs, would be great were it not for
the enterprise of the French Air
Ministry, a most essential part of
the Government service. which has
been responsible for building UP in
LIE Bourget the center of the great
est system of organized airways in
the world. The Government means
to eliminate this danger by making
night flying-from the pilots point
of yiew-even more safe than day
travel. Not only lighthouses mark
his path, but lights will direct him
to any of a half dozen emergency
landing fields so that he will not
have to trust to luck in the event Of
a forced descent.
Long before the departure Of the
first plane for London LIE Bourget
is the scene of activity. The planes,
like the great locomotives which haul
our Wolverine. Twentieth Century
and Sunset limiteds, must be coaxed
and caressed for hours before they
take UP the task of hauling their
human freight safely at the greatest
maximum speed. Often after night
