With the aid of a long needle each mast is pulled into a vortical position
and the yards moved into place, until, when complete and the whole bottle sealed, there is as much reason to believe that the bottle was made around the ship as in the possibilities of any other method.
Models of vessels to enter the neck of a quart bottle must be narrow, and short in proportion, but occasionally one sees a larger and more elaborate achievement which the patient hands of some old sailor took more than one voyage
to complete.

Present-day aeroplanes give the most economical results for passenger and mail work
when operating between stations about 300 miles apart. Over longer non-stop distances more petrol and oil must be carried, and, con- sequently, fewer passenger or a smaller paying load. There are stages on the route to India where aeroplanes would

The acroplane is not yet a real vehicle of world commerce. The numerous stops and changes on an acroplane route ta India (run with present-day types of machines) would probably prove very irksome to ordinary travellers; perhaps only a little less so than being kept in the air on the same machines for con- siderably longer periods. And, in spite of the very best of ground organisation, there are many long sections of the route whero engine failure means a bad crash.
Both aeroplanes and airships have been advocated for the London to India route: the airship, with its longer cruising range and lesser liability to forced landings has at present the better claim.
