EVOLUTION OF THE ABROPLANE

MEANING OF A GREAT EXHIBITION,"

This is a wonderful world we live in. It seems only a few years ago says a London paper that in those gardens behind the Albert Hall we saw the first, or cae of the first, exhibitions of motor cars, Odd, misshapen things they were As they wheezed and granted their painful way round and round a small areas, it seemed imposible they could ever be anything but Laughing-atooks or damay toys!

Yet we have just seen a procession of eight miles of motor-cars, smart, speedy, serviceable, carry s battlion of Guards to Hastings and back, at

an average speed of over twenty miles an hour, and with scarcely an accident. Had one prophesied

such a feat fifteen years ago oue would have been ridiculed, regarded as a vision -Bryn & crank.

we

And suppose memeone were to prophesy to-day that in molker fifteen year shall be seeing a Guards" baitalion whisked of to the const in aeroplane what would be said to that?. Unimaginative people with short memories would pooh-pooh such 's possibility. But with the marvellously rapid progress of motor-cars in mind and with such an exhibition as that which has opened at Olym pis to stimulate our thoughts, how can we wairo the iden asido?

NOT A THEME FOR JOKING.

This exhibition is going to met all London talking. It is going to make people realise that the aeroplane is not merely a theme for joking, a fad, a toy, but a reality, a practical machine for Aying, na invention that has come to stay.

Up to now people have not understood this. They have heard of fights at Pau, at Le Mans, in the United States, always a long way off They have said to themselves that it was just a passing craze. Now they can go to Olympia nad as they cross the threshold they will imagine they have stopped suddenly into one of Mr. H. G. Wells's stories of the future, when aero- planes ply regularly between London and Paris, and when wars are fought in the air..

Most people have thought of aeroplane in- ventors and constanctors as emaks, men with bees in their bohmot. As they watch the keen- faced mechanics going about their work in a quiet, business-like way, just as if they were in' an engine shop," they will soon be disabused of that. Strange and unfamiliar as they look at first, thuse vast machines are, most of them, thoroughly practical and scientific-not yet quite practical and scientific enough perhaps, bat getting well on towards the moment when they will emerge from the experimental stage.

SURPRISED VISITORS.

Already they are so far advanced that you can walk in and order one if you have £500 or £600 to spare--not a theoretical flying. machine, but one that has actually been in the air. The remarks that were heard on all sides yesterday showed clearly that the exhibition had come as a tremendous surprise to most of the visitors. They wont, thinking it would be a good joke; they found it an amazing eye-opener which gave them a fresh vision of the possibilit ica of the near future. They had come to scoff. They remained to marvel, and they went away thinking deeply, over what they had seen.

Many had evidently never before realised what the principle of the heavier-than-air fying machine is. An expert was trying to a little group. "Stop a minute," he said, and ran up to the gallery. From there he sent a sheet of paper floating into the air. It swayed this away and that travelled quite a little dis tance, then gradually dropped.

"Now why didn't it drop straight down" asked the expert. Because its surface, or pane, offered resistance le the air. Imagine that sheet of paper driven by a small engine, instead of wandering free, and you have a model aeroplane.

Now the little group near him looked with different eyes upon the huge machines around them. The use of the bathing boxes," as some- one called them, beesme plain. For the first time it was clear to them what un seroplane was. It is an exhibition that no one who is alive to the much of events will miss. Its interest evidently appeals to the Prince of Wales, who, it was announced yesterday, will visit the show next week. It marks a stage forward. Some day we shall look back upon this exhibition BF we new look back upon these funny motor- cars behind the Albert Hall. We live indeed in & wonderfully interesting world.-H. H. F.

THE "TIMES" ON OPIUM COMPENSATION.

and caution are intensely unwelcome. But it is ningpertionable that, by extravagant Artions and reckless arguments, they have retarded the progress of the cause which they have at heart. Toften, for instance, they put down to the effects of opiumany disease or defect from which nemokor may suffer. Their opponents, on the other hand, maintain that the opium hahit, moderately pursued, is relatively harmless, and that the number of those who take the drag to excess is limited. Probably the truth, as often, lies between the two extreme views. The In formational Opium Commission, which met at Shanghai last month, passed a number of resoin. tions which, while clearly recognising the opinm habit as an evil, did not advocate any drastic or immediate campaign of suppression. But it urged the different nations represented to take hetion with a view to assisting each other in puting an end to opium smoking, and the Conference may supply a valuable stimulus to the movement towards this goal: Each Govern ment will now feel that its policy will be subject to the scrutiny of the others. Great Britain' has proved that she is ready to assist tire Chinese by essenting to a reduction in the tunnel import of opium from India, and if the Poking authorities can show that they are able to acoderate their programime of reform, this country is not likely to place any obstacles in the way.

FASHIONS AND FANCIES

BIAOK SILK COATS.

It is good news that black silk coats will be wer again this season. There is no material that combines so well lightness and zmartness as this. So far as can be prognosticated, we can have our choics between short waist and long waist. It seems as though both styles were to be in fashion. And in the matter of length, we may choose among short, half-length, three.. quarter, and full-length. The first must come at least four itukes below tha normal lan of waist. The last must cover the short walking. gown. The intermediate lengths are two well- known to need any specification. Some of thes silk coats are lined, some not. Others have n body lining but the skirt is free from any.

NEW MUSICAL PRODIGY.

Musical prodigies are familiar features of the concert world of to-day. A few of them grow up into mature artista; many of them disappear altogether. Whatever may be the ultimate fate of Kalman Rós, who arrived in London last month from Budapest, it is at least certain that in this twelve-year-old child we have one of the foremost masters of the violin at present in existence.

It seems that the Colonial Office is disprood to follow a fair and reasonable policy in regard to the mppression of opium stoking in Hong kong. When the question first arose, we pointed ont that if the English nation resolved to secure the abolition of the vica within the limits of the British Empire, it would be extremely unjust that the cost of giving effect to this intention should be laid on the shoulders of the British subjects in the Colonies concerned. Those who pressed strongly for a drastic anti-opium campaign apparently did not take this view. Regarding the trade sud ase of the drug na highly immoral and visions, they proclaimed that the choice lay between righteousness and money, and demanded the immediate suppression of the opfam habit in the Crown Colonies of the Far East, But ther made no suggestions for assisting the people in these dependencies in bearing the burden of the reforms for which they pressed. In the debate in the House of Commons last year Colonel Stey reminded his party that morals rather than money was hardly an appropriate exy when the morals belonged, to one set of pepple and the money to another. The Colony of Hongkong has long derived large proportion of its revenue from the opium traffic. Any movement for the suppression of the vice must therefore involve a serious financial loss, and bring a very heavy burden on the taxpayers of the place It is satisfactory to learn, however, that the Government have deefded that it would be unjust for the people of this country to indulge their virtuous intentions at the expense of others, and that Parliament will accordingly be asked to sanetion a substantial contribution to help to make good the decline in the revenue of the Colony. Such step is all the more equitable since Hongkong at present pays e considerable sum to the cost of Imperial defence. It also appears from the Memorandum prepared by the Governor of the Colony, Sir Frederick Lugard, that the process of restricting opium smoking will be gradually carried out. Be does not deny the evils resulting from the vice, but he considers that precipitato action would be nawise.
