PENCERS AIRSHIP, IN WHICH HE SAILED OVER LONDON. Stanley Spencer of London has' proved that he could steer his airship successfully at will, sail in any direction he liked, and make fairly good time against the wind. Mr. Spencer is a veteran aeronaut and built h.s airship after his own design. Recently he started from the Crystal palace, sailed over St. Pauls, went as far west as Ealing, circled above that suburb, sailed northwest against the wind and landed at Eastcote, near Harrow, at 6 o'clock. The trip of thirty miles was made without a hltcn In an hour and forty-fivminutes. Percival Spencer, referring to hi3 brother's trip through the air, said it exceeded the longest trip of Santos- e KING Dumont, the Brazilian aeronaut, by nearly twenty miles. Spencers airship has a blunt tall and nose, differing in that respect s from the design of balloon. The general lines are those of a bottle-nosewhale. The bag is feet long and contains seventy-fiv20,000 cubic feet of gas. The frame is of bamboo. s Unlike machine, Spencers airship Is propelled in front A simple pressure of a button sets the airship going and stops it. It is worked by a motor of three 'horse power, placed at a safe distance from the gas valve, danger of explosion being thereby minimized. Santos-Dumont- d e Santos-Dumont- HUMBERTS MONUMENT.

As examples, witness the gullied hillsides, rocky slopes and mountain plateaus, to whose barren bosoms moisture and humus are unknown. Remembering how very small the seeds of grass and clover are and what a little mite of plant food Is locked up in each seed and for how short a space of time It can supply the needs of the plant, it does not seem strange that numerous failures occur when you consider that these tiny little plants are seeded on land in such bad physical condition that the lumps of soil appear in comparbilliard-rooison as the towering mountains to smooking-room- , the mole hill.
