THE SECRETS OF WONDER
ORGANISATION.
Another important step in mak- ing Britain the most scientifically- defended country in the world against air attacks has just been taken in the acquisition at Horn- church, Essex, of a tract of land,

Hornchurch will be one of those aerodromes forming the inner ring of defences. Other aerodromes: on this vital "inner ring” have} been taken over or are now in progress of being acquired.
One of most perfect pieces of ~intricate—organisation-the-world- has ever seed will be this air défence scheme when it is com- pleted, says the "Dally Chronicle." Naturally one can do no more than hist such a mish hush" plas, but the zones and rings are taking shape, plots are being trained in growing numbers and factories are turning out machines. Away on the coast will be listening stations doing things which have been thought impossi. ble hitherto.
There, too will be big coast de. fence air-craft and wasp-like high- speed machines, which will harry raiders long before they reach their objectives. As the raiders penet- rate inland they will come upon great belts of land-operated de- fences. The sky-will-be-lit-up. by searchlights and the air space, for great altitudes, will be filled with an inferno of busting shells.
Behind, those outer chains--

"obstructions" raised into the night sky-will be flying, at great heights, special squadrons for the defence of London.

The death watch beetle, which caused such havoc in the roof of Westminster Hall, at the Houses of Parliament, has attacked the main oak beams of the Church of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate. E.C., and Immediate action has had to be taken or the roof may be seriously damaged. The church rate is to be raised from 2d. to 34d, to meet the cost.
