Following Warsaw, the next direct line in Europe is likely to be to Helsingfors. Therd will then remain only the Balkan States and Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and, Russia to be linked up. Enough circuits exist across the North Sea to carry the European traffic for some time, and further extensions depent chiefly on the erection of efficient Continental land lines and of repeater stations. This is the case in regard to direct communica- tion with Rome, which has not yet been accomplished, although Lon- doners can ring up Turin, Milan, and Genoa,

A fourth transmitter has already been decided on, and when this is completed there will be four cross-Atlantie channels for conversation.

AIRCRAFT OF THE 'FUTURE.

NEW SHAPES TO ELIMINATE WASTAGE OF POWER.

Large commercial aeroplanes, such as those used by Imperial Airways, Ltd., could fly at their present lop speed with only one- third their present power if they were ideally shaped. This is the view of Professor B. M. Jones, who read a paper on "The Streamline Aeroplano" before the Royal Aeronautical Society.

Two-thirds of the power, he said was being thrown away in causing unnecessary turbulence in the air. The correctly-shaped acroplane would not set up all this tur bulence.

"The ultimate aeroplane," naid Professor Jones, "will be as well streamlined on the whole of Its external surfaces as, say, the bottom of a racing yacht or the ox- ternale of an albatross."

He added that he was fortified in this belief by surveying the animal kingdom. Those birds and fisher which depended on speed for their existence had long since solved the problem. The compromise with |structural difficulty was no doubt as difficult for them as with us, but it had ended in the complete | triumph of the external form. "We can only hope," Professor Jones concluded, "that it will not take us so long to reach this point as, if we are to believe the com- parative anatomists, It took them."

CHURCH.

Standing at the altar amid the wreckage following a fire at St. Clement's Church, East Dulwich, and beneath a roof open to the wintry aky, a young couple were married recently by the 75-year- old vicar, the Rev. H. E. Jennings. "They entered into the spirit of the thing and made the best of a bad job," Rev. Jennings told a Press representative.

Despite the exceptional dimeul- ties, the usual morning service was held in the church. It was con- ducted by the vicar, who has been incumbent since tho church was built 43 years ago,

Costly, jewelled vestments were also destroyed in the fire, the loss from which is estimated at £3,000.
