The researches of the past few years have resulted in solid. progress, baving important practical results, and in the nature of things it may seem that additional progress will be slower in the future than it has been during the period when there was everything to learn.

It is in small details that progress is effected and the sum of inany small details becomes important: the enormous improve. ment in the efficiency of the flying machine since 1908 stands witness. In terms of practical aviation we know, roughly, the weight for power of the motor, the thrust of well-designed propellers and the lifting power of well-designed nerofoils. The air resistance of the various parts of a flying machine are calculated to a nicety. As to the latter, the ingenuity of designers bas brought air-resistance down considerably. but it may be assumed that further improve ments are still possible. In passing, it may be remarked that the dithculties of the structural strength of machines having a very large span are very formidable, being one of the biggest factors in limiting size development.

BLIND MAN'S HEROIC-DEED. DRAMATIC RECONNAISSANCE IN THE AIR.
One of the most moving and dramatic incidents of the war occurred when the fight ing in Flanders was at its height. A lieuten. ant observer, with a sergeant as pilot, was ordered to locate a German concealed battery- whose fire had become extremely troublesome, and had inflipted considerable damage. The pilot, relating the story of the exploit say
When we arrived above the German lines we were greeted by a perfect storm of shell fire. We rose higher in the direction of the village of where we saw not one but three batteries. There they are, the devils, said the lieutenant, shaking his first at them. Then, turning toward me he shouted, "Our mission is finished, Half-turn, and quick about it.
BAIN OF 911OT AND SHELL
Now the consensus of opinions of lending theorists is that the limit of aeroplane poest bilities at present in view is summed up in a lifting power of about five tons. The great est lead hitherto carried was by the Sikorsky biplane, and was a little more than one to This machine was driven by engines aggre. gating 400 horse-power, and its largest plane had a span of about 110 feet. The latest Curtiss Blying boat has a span of about feet. The 200 lip. Wright seaplane has span of about 63 feet. The big (inhame White biplane that carried nine passengers on one occasion spanned 60 feet, and had a useful load of shout half a tou. It will readily be understood that a vast gap
