"airships. By svar, therefore, the futive. oi "lighter-than-air craft, both in this country, and on the continent, will be definitely settled. There has been a delay of near- ly two years in completing these airships. Time and again since the roject was begun in July, 1924, fie launching date has been post- £ 'poned. Ti March 1927, it was stat- ed that it was hoped to have R-100 ready by August of the same year, and in September it was reported that she was nearly finished. In November, 1927, April, 1928, was given as the likely launching date, and last December, Sir Samuel Hoare, Air Minister, stated that it was hoped to have the two big air- ships ready for action some time this year. Of New Design ' These dirigibles represent a new- er airship design and construction, for not only were these the first of their kind designed for world operation, but the work was under- taken with a view to commercial success, After thorough investiga- tion of air disasters, the engineers of the Airship Guarantee Co,, Ltd., which is building R-100 for the British Government, devised a new type of duralumin. Meanwhile, the cost of production is mounting, Sir Samuel Hoare stating that both vessels are costing more than was originally estimated. Before R-101 was begun, 260,000 pounds were spent on research experiments, It was originally estimated that R- 101 would cost £280,000. These delays and changes of plan will cause the approaching tests to be watched all the more critically. The shed tests are likely to give but little information of practical value, although even at that stage it is possible that some fault in de- sign or construction may be dis- covered which will lead to addi- tional delay, Apart from the pos- sibilities, however, the flying tests over England will be the first in- dications of the capabilities of the new vessels, and of the feasibility of mooring them to the masts which ahve been erected for them. Select Crew The same crew will carry out the tests in both ships. It will be un- der the command of Major Scott, who was in charge of R-34 on her double Atlantic crossing, the first ever made. After the trials over Britain, longer flights, including trips to Canada and Egypt, will be attempt- ed, but without passengers. Due to the large sums expended, the airship critics have levelled many denunciations against them. There is, indeed, a strong under- current of feeling in the aviation world that the money spent on these giant rigids could have been better expended on the develop- ment of large flying boats, At the same time, however, powerful sup- Merchants Pride in | --t take Such Displaying this Range HEY know such a range would delight you.

LIMITED ters 'I'port his remarks. port is advanced by those who be- lieve firmly in the future of the long-distance transport. It is pointed out by airship ad- vocates that these will be the first craft of their type constructed sole- ly with a view to long-range trans- port within the empire, They stress "the fact, also, that the structure of these machines will be so strong that they won't bear comparison with any previous airships. The hulls of R-100 and R-101 will, it is claimed, be able to withstand successfully the strains of any atmosphere disturb- ances, no matter how severe, The argument of those who support the airship program, is that it would be unfair to condemn all dirigibles on account of the fate of certain Zeppelins which were built to at- tain great heights In war-time raids, and wherein the factors of safety couldn't be so great as they can be in a vessel intended purely for commercial work, Finally, the airship advocates call for a suspension of judgment regarding the lighter-than-air craft until after these two new machines, incorporating every modern im- provement, have been well tried out both at home and along the Empire routes. R-101 is to make the trip to Canada and will moor at St, Hu- bert airport, near Montreal.

SAYS CHICAGO BEST CITY IN UNIVERSE Cook County Coroner States Smaller Places Have More Crime Chicago, April 10.--Chicago, painted as a "hell hole," really is the finest city in the universe, Cor- oner Herman Bundesen, of Cook County, said recently in an address before the Furniture Club of Amer- ica. "Chicago is not the hell hole it has been painted," Bundesen said. "People of Chicago seem more in- clined to advertise the shootings and murders than they do to talk about th® worth-while things in the city. This city is condemneu and maligned as a city of crime while really it is the finest city in the world. This reputation has kept people away from Chicago. I had to fight bitterly to get the Na- tional Public Health Association to hold its meeting here. Actually there are not as many crimes com- mitted in Chicago as in the smaller \ places." The coroner cited figures to sup- The number of murders: in Chicago per 100,000 population in 1920 was 15.8. This, he compared with Memphis, 60.5: Birmingham, 654.9; Jacksonville, Fla., 52.6; Atlanta, 45.1; Nash- ville, 27.9; Houston, Tex., 26.1; New Orleans, 25.9 and Dallas, 16.- 5 4 Bundesen is being urged for the Democratic candidate for mayor of Chicago in 1921.

The Earthworm There is a creature, and that a very important ome in the opera- tions of nature, that is surrounded by angers, harassed, pursued un- ceasingly, and becomes the prey of all: the common earthworm, This animal, destined to be the natural manurer of the soil, and the ready indicator of an improved staple, consumes on the surface of the ground, where they soon would be injurious, the softer parts.of de- cayed vegetable matters, and con- veys into the soil the more woody fibres, where they moulder, and be- come reduced to a simple nutri- ment, fitting for living vegetation. The parts consumed by them are soon returned to the surface, whence, dissolved by frosts, and scattered by rains, they circulate again in the plants of the soll, Thus, eminently serviceable as the worm is, it yet becomes the prey of various orders of the ani- mal creation, and perhaps is a soli tary example of an individual race being subjected to universal de- struction, It constitutes through- out the year the food of many birds; fishes devour it greedily; the mole pursues it unceasingly in the pastures ,along the moist bot- toms of ditches, and 'burrows after it through the banks, to which it re- tires in dry seasons, Secured as the worm appears to be by its resi- dence in the earth from the cap- ture of creatures inhabiting a dif- ferent element, yet many aquatie animals seem well acquainted with it, and prey on it as a natural food, whenever it falls in "their way: frogs eat it; and even the great water beetle I have known to seize it when the bait of the angler, and it has been drawn up by the hook. Yet notwithstanding this prodigi- ous destruction -of the animal, its increase is fully commensurate to its consumption, as if ordained the appointed food of all; and Reau- mur computes, though from what data it is dificult to conjecture, that the number of worms lodged in the bosom of the earth exceeds that of the grains of all kinds of corn collected by man.~--~Knapp"s Journal of a Naturalist, A.

Twells, charged with the mur- der of his two children near .Con- secon, on January 2 last, and with shooting with intent to commit murder of Arthur Corfield, appear- ed before Mr. Justice Meredith yes- terday at Picton. The court room was crowded with spectators, many of the audience being from the dis trict where the ¢rime was commit- ted. His wife who was heavily veiled, sat near the prisoner's dock. After the indictments were read ¥, L. Ward, counsel for Dr, Twells presented an order from Osgoode Hall, granting the right of a com- mission to proceed to England to take evidence on the early life of the accused. The crown prosecu- tor presented no argument and Justice Meredith remanded Dr. Twells in custody until the fall sit- ting of the "Supreme Court. The proceedings did not take more than ten minutes and the accused was goon whisked from the room by heavily armed guards.

Except during the war period a Return of this kind has been issued annually for over 30 years, and was origin. ally' moved for by the late Sir Charles Dilke, It is now presented by the First Lord of the Admiralty, corrected to February 1, and thus forms a: convenient guide and work of reference about the time of the fssue of, and discussions upon, the Navy Estimates. The 1929 edition is similar in form to that of last year, that is, a length of life of 20 years has been assumed for bat- tleships, battle-cruisers, aircraft- carriers, and cruisers; 16 years for destroyers; 12 years for subma~ rines; 10 years for coastal motor boats; and 20 years for all other vessels. Age is counted from the date of completion, and all vessels beyond these limits are shown in italics, ' The battleship is shown to he still dwindling in numbers, and there are only 65 vessels of this type in the various navies, or two less than last year. Before the war there were as many as this in the British Navy alone, The new German battleship Ersatz-Preussen is to be of 10,000 tons, 650,000 horse-power, 26 knots, and to car- ry six 11 in, eight 5.9 in., and four 3 in. A. A. guns, with six torpedo tubes, In regard to cruisers, the British total has increased by three since the last Return, owing to the completion of the Berwick, Kent, Suffolk, Cornwall and London, with the Australia and Canberra, modified, by the scrapping of the Yarmoufh, Conquest, Sydney and Melbouie. The United States to- tal is finchanged at 32, and those of France and Japan are reduced by one each, as, although both have completed new 10,000-ton cruisers, 'older vessels have been scrapped. Building sts show a total of 38 crulsers, of which nine are British. ~. Official 'details which are inSert- ed for the United States cruisers of the Northampton class, "lala down in 1928, show that these will be of higher speed (32.7 knots), but will carry nine instead of ten 8- in. guns, Designed speeds of the newest cruisers vary somewhat, those of Britain being 82% knots, United States 32.7 knots; Japan, thirty-three knots; France thirty- three knots, Italy 36 knots for 10, 000-ton cruisers and 37 for 5,000- ton cruisers, and Germany 32 knots, In the projected list fewer ships appear than was the case a year ago. The United States is an easy first with 156 cruisers, all of 10,000 tons, The six for Italy in- cludé four of this displacement and two of 5,000 tons, Torpedo Craft British torpedo craft totals have again dwindled, flotilla leaders from 17 to 16, destroyers from 160 to 140, and submarines from 66 to 62. The United State totals show no change in destroyers, and an ad- dition of one in submarines. Jap- anese destroyers have decreased by 13, but her submarines increased by four. Both classes have increas ed in France, and in Germany the total of destroyers has advanced from 17 to 24 by the completion of new vessels. Details of the. flo- tilla leader Codrington, laid down in 1928, show that she will be of 1,620 tons, 29,000 h. p., and 36 knots, or smaller and slower than the last flotilla leaders completed for the Royal Navy, but will have the sme armament--five 4.7 in. and smaller guns, The Acasta class of destroyers will be 35-knot ves- sels, instead of 37-knot like the Amazon and Ambuscade. No de- tails are yet published of the Osiris class of submarine beyond the dis- placement, Reckoning only by figures, it may interest many to observe that of 1,974 warships in the seven principal navies, Great Britain has 279, as compared with 387 a year ago, 424 in 1927, 444 in 1926, and 497 in 19256. Every year since the war her total has shown a de- crease; but this is not so with oth- er Powers. The United States to- tal of 549 shows an Increase of four on last year, and compares with 642 in 1927, 543 in 1926, and 539 in 1925. The most interesting addition to the Return is the new German armored ship describe@ above, a match of any post-Wash- ington cruiser, The question aris- es whether Spain should not be added to the list another year.
