Young Engineer's Device.
The present Folies chorus cos- tains two titled women, daughters of Russian nobles, several daugh- tera of generals, exiled for political Jreasons from other European coun trits, and any number of students. The studente provide the stage with their facst recruits. M. Frejol contende. Girls, tired of classrooms or failed in an examination find their way to his office, throw their books into a corner, undress and prove their claims to consideration,
A young engineer, Mr. H. Stiege, recently employed by the Beardmore firm, has, evolved a rinciple by which it is claimed single spar can be made rigid and at the same time light. With him are associated the well-known pilots Squadron Leader R. de Haga Haig and Captain Bramsen.
Without drawings it is difficult to describe the method, but when it is seen and described it becomes extremely simple to grasp. Brac ing wires arranged in a series of pyramid shapes prevent the spar from twisting. The principle is ap- plicable whether the spar itself is made of wood or metal.
Mr. Parlett gave evidence and in Cross-examination by Mr. J. D. Casewell said that Mr. Benson followed Misa Carlyle about "like a shadów," sat at her knee, and By using this type of spar with would not leave her.

Lost Friendship. Mr. Casswell: Do you suggest that you lost Miss Carlyle's friend ship?
Yes. Mr. Parlett:
His love making was so incessant. He was there all the afternoon while I was at business and remained there until

Mr. Parlett said that he knew that Mr. Benson was a married
man.
Miss Carlyle, who gave evidence on subpoena, was asked by Mr. Case well:
Are you still friendly with
Mr. Parlett?
Miss Carlyle: Not like I was, of course. The conditions are dif- ferent now, and I never see him.
Mr. Casswel: Was it true that he had lost your friendship owing to Mr. Benson visiting you?-Of course he had. It was a natural thing.
Miss Carlyle added that her mother.knew that Mr. Benson was visiting ber at the flat.
Mr. Justice Talbot, without hear- ing the defence, gave judgment for Mr. Benson with costs, remarking that he was not satisfied that there was any contract by Mr. Benson to buy the furniture.

ponoplane can be made very con- siderably lighter than an equivo lent biplane. The following figures are quoted The average biplane wings weigh 15 per cent of the total weight of the aeroplane and the average cantilever monoplane wing weighs 18 per cent. of the all- up weight..
With the Stieger spar the weight of the monoplane wing can be re- duced to about 8 per cent., of the total. This means that un вето- plane which now, carries the weight of 24 passengers could then carry the weight of 32, and this extra lift could be devoted either to extra pay-load or to extra fuel.
A specimen section of the Stivger ying is now being tested at, the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, and it will be very interesting to watch future develop-
ments.
