The Dutch and other mail steamers have recently raised this little gem of a settlement to the dignity of a port of call, and there is now a weekly mail service east and west. Order among a somewhat mixed lot of inhabitants is controlled by a company of Datoh infantry, and sternly maintained by the company's officers, who are quite prepared to lay on the leather whip or rattan they carry in their hand at the first sign of disobedience or insubordination. The extra ordinary enterprise of this Dutch trading company is far from exhausted.

THE FUTURE OF THE MONOFLANE, Up to the present there is an unquestionable superiority in the Wright biplane, owing to the fact that it is designed to carry two persona. We hope to have a specially built machine in a short time, in which the disadvantage of the monoplane will no longer exist. Comparisons are odions, but Mr. Wilbar Wright himself says that he believes in the future of the monoplano, whatever Ita present, value may ba. That it still leaves much room for improvement I have no doubt; in fact, M. Levasseur believes that to be thoroughly nesful an cero- plane must possess at once much greater aprod and much greater power than any type as the present day has shown itself espable of develop-. ing

It seems as though the double-decker could not be brought up to the same limit, in those two re- latter shows auficient carrying power. Now, although the Chanate fiver, as perfected by the brothers Wright, has a carrying surface of sixty square metres, it does not seem to show more than a slight superiority in weight-lifting capacity over an Autoinette of thirty square. matros or a Bleriot of twenty-four, which intely lifted two passangers,

The great objection to the monoplane up to the present way has been its lack of stability. Whatever may have been the grounds upon which such a theory was founded, most con- clusive prosta

Dia have been given. that if it does not surpass its rivals it equals them in the points of stability and safety. It is impossible, for instance, to rolar one's hold on the levere in toy type of biplane, whereas it is quite an easy feat on certain monoplanes, and one that can be continued for quite a long space of time: believe, in fact, that in calm weather I could dy almost indefinitely with but occasional meve. ments of the steering-gear.
