Over the North Atlantic it is possible that experimental mall services will be run in the coming summer by the British Hying boats Caledonia and Cambria, although these flying boats are unable to carry much lead in addition to the big margin of fuel necessary for the westwards flight.

The Germans will undoubtedly be first in the field with their ser- vice by catapulted aircraft. In which departiment they have established a technique which at the present moment offers definite advantage.

It is remarkable that as regards the North Atlantic airships are again in a position to challenge aeroplanes of all kinds. The suc- cessor to the Ul-fated Hindenburg is to be launched in the spring, and now that it has been decided to use hellum instead of the in- EPIDEMIC IN VICTORIA flammable hydrogen gas, airships, for the first time, face the future without the lurking "hampering dread of all-destroying fire and ex- plosion. This is going to make a tremendous difference.

There is reason to belleve that

"The great alr route RCROSS Canada to Vancouver, now nearly complete as regards equipment, will probably be in full operation this year, one of the biggest enter- prises in the history of organised air communcations, but only to come into the full measure of its value when the North Atlantic is being regularly, „down.“

It is therefore certain that for an all-the-year-round service Great | Britain must choose a different route, or else employ, other aircraft than flying boats.

The Azores are mentioned in connection. with an alternative route. but they lack suitable all- season harbourage for flying boats. Hence the coming experimenta with a land aeroplane designed for the N. Atlantic, the attention which is being given to refuelling in the air. and the coming tests of
