British Aviation Expert Says They Will be Silent Aeroplanes. 'People are afraid of aeronan- tics, but when the acroplane is fly- ing frequently from town to town silence. will 'become = imperative.' So says Mervyn O'Gorman, super- intendent of the army aeroplane factory at Farnborough, England, who has turned out. the new all- British "'silent" aeroplane' that the experts have been demanding. 'As a matter of fact," he sdys, "gilence is very easy to obtain. This machine shows a little step in advance. 'Ag far as I know, this is the first absolutely silent aeroplane; it is silent to this extent, that when wind is blowing strongly from ib towards you you cannot hear it. "A military aviattor who was present at our trials remarked that there was other machines with which he was acquainted which it would not have been safe to have gone ' up in, in the wind that was blowing. I see no reason why every aeroplane which does not employ a rotary engine should not be silent. It is a very simple matter. The reason why it has been put in the background hitherto - is ~ because other matters have required more attention, 'but everyone knew that the moment for silence would soon arrive--at all events on a large ngines. 2 "There is & certain loss of power in silencing, but there is no diffi- culty about it beyond just'a careful dd study of the engine proposition, Bilence will become very important when the confidence that will come on as the 'chudders' have left arrived. imagine, for example might Be wort vl man's Having successfully con-| th picture-galleries. © Some lilies-of- the-valley, plucked that morning rom a forest glade, hung their wearily, even when in contact with "big, cool cabbagés.

German Youths Use Firearms te Settle Dispute. Once again the morbid reading indulged in by German schoolboys and youths, and the peculiar ideas of honor and the duel held in Ger- many, have resulted in a "'school boy duel," in which one of the com- batants received injuries which will probably cost him his life. A boy of seventeen years was found a few days since in a small wood near Detmold, in an uncon- scious condition, 'with a bullet wound in the right breast. He wax taken to the local hospital, where his chances of recovery are regard. ed as small. » It seems that the lad, a scholar in the Detmold higher grade school, quarrelled with a schoolmate of his own age over a girl, evén younger than themselves, and for whose fa- vors both were aspirants. Driven to extremes of jealousy by the knowledge that each was sharing the girl's affections with the other, the two youthful Romeos mutually de- ed on an "affair," 'in which one should seek the only possible es- mB ftom his i in death while the: remained in nndis- puted possession of the field
