It was prc- pared for the Car by the Russian State printing office as a souvenir of the issue of special postage stamps to commemorate, the tercen- tenary of the Romanoff dynasty, at a cost, it is said, of £50,000.

The collection consists of 1,271 artists' proofs of the designs, mounted in three elaborate albums. It was one of the Czar's most cherished possessions, and accom panied him into exile at Tobolsk after the revolution of 1917. It was left there when the Ex-Emperor of All the Russias was transferred to Ekaterinburg, where he was assag- sinated

An officer of the Russian Flying Corps contrived to conceal the albums from the Bosheviks, and, with the aid of a member of the diplomatic body, smuggled them. into a foreign country, where they have been in male keeping.

The Supermarina Southampton metal-hulled flying-boats, will leave Cattewater.

Cave Browne-Cave who will have nine officers of the Royal Air Force with him.

It is proposed, says the aeronau- tical correspondent of The Times, to make the fight round the Aus tralian seaboard in co-operation with the Australian Air Force, and then return to Singapore, where the boats will, in all probability, be based permanently. This will be the longest and most ambitious cruise yet undertaken by British fying-boats, and it is indicative of the progress that has been made since renewed attention was given to the marine side of aviation.

TALL-HAT CREATES A SENSATION.

HOW A LEGISLATOR WON A

WAGER.

CALCUTTA, August 30th.

A sensation was caused at ques- tion time in the Assembly at Simla, yesterday when Sir Victor Sassoon' entered wearing a smart grey tall hat at a rakish angle.

It was done for a wager.

No European had ever before entered the Assembly with his hat on.

The President decided to ignore the startling innovation, and a Moslem member who warmly ross to s point of order on the subject received, no answer.

Sir Victor eventually removed his hat with a sweeping gesture.
