Interesting though will take place ab Happy Valley this it be as an experiment, many people will evening. incline to the opinion that it cannot be of any practical value, for the general public will never be content to accept the time saved by this method of travelling as an equivalent for the risks incurred. Such views, we think, reveal an entire lack of imagination. Apart from the fact that progress is never possible with aut experiment, we have only to recall the remarkably rapid advances which have been made in the science of aeronau- tics during the past decade to realise the limitless possibilities of the future. As we have pointed out before it was only ten years ago that we were waiting for some daring spirit to make the fight from London to Manchester in twenty- four hours with not more than two stops. and within the last six months we have seen the voyage from England to India made by aircraft. Those who, neverthe lass, regard aerial navigation as a freak performance comparable to tight-rope walking may be reminded of develop- ments in other directions that would have been regarded as permanently outside the pale of possibility a generation or two back, Take, for instance, the speed at which express trains and automobiles Its "Dryness" is a feature which travel to-day.
