Euch machine carries a crew of three, and one of the features of its design is a gun tunnel in the bottom of the fuse lage, so that a machine-gunner, lying prone on his face. is able to sweep beneath the tail of the plane with a hail of bullets. This spot, hitherto has always been a vulnerable one.

All British hombing machines will, in future, be designed to be fitted with three engines--one high-powered engine in the centre, and a similar motor on either side.

The centre engine, will be used to lift beavy loads into the air. which could not be done without it, or when high speed is needed. The advantage of the three- engined aeroplanes will be that they will be able to carry enormous loads of bombs and will be able to reach home even if one or two of the engines are put out of nction on a raid

Endeavours to produce multiple- engined planes in other countried baya not been particularly successful, but the Air Ministry hopes to triumph where others have failed.

"I went carefully and slowly," says Signor Barolo," testing the ground with my stick at each step, and I managed at last to get down the steep sides of the ernter. My progress was also hampered by evil-smelling volcanic gasses, which came up wherever there was a small fissure in the ground. At the bottom of the crater I walked for a few yards quite easily upon what I discovered to be a mass of hardened snow, protected by a thick strata of ashes.

"I drew back and looked around me. It was a beautiful and terrible sight. Tad gloomy walls of the crater rose up on all sides, splashed here, and there by red and yellow patches, and lit up fantas tically by the suplight. The smoke rose up from the mouth in great curves, and spread itself about in the crater, but, fortunately, nearly always in the oppo- site direction in where. I was standing. I raised my voice and repeatedly called out to my companion, whom I could just see above. me on the edge of the crater, in order to try the famous echoes," which answered me like the growls of infernal deities.

“ I made my way back more easily than I had come down, because 1 followed in the track of my former footsteps, but I had much difficulty in breathing, owing to the low atmospheric pressure and rarified air, and also to the constant irritation of the volcanic gasses."
