How will airships be anchored? l Gensral Maitland, the Admiralty senlor alrship officer, who took part in the Râ€"84‘s Atlantic crossing, reâ€" cently gave the following explanation, says a London newspaper. "Woe hope that in time," he said, "an airship arriving, say, from New York at an English terminus, will come over a single mast under her own power, drop a coupling, and be connected up by one or two mon on the ground to the coupling inside the mast. Then the airship will be pulled down by a winch to the top of the mast, and the passengers will go down the mast in & lift." Stoel towers are now being conâ€" structed from which it will be possible to supply airships moored to them with fuel, water, gas, and goods; and crew and passengers also will be able to go aboard from the towers. The completed mooringâ€"tower _ will be about 150ft. high, and will be bullt of steel latticeâ€"work. nouncing her intention. From the tower head a wire cable will be dropâ€" ped to the ground and there picked up by a man who will enter a small car and drive away some 300yds. A second ! cable, weighted with sandbags, will be i dropped from the airship when a ground signal has indicated the point |\ at which it will be plicked up, and the | two cables will be coupled. ! _ The airship will then be hauled in, | assisting where necessary with her ! own power, and when she has been | moored it will be possible to uncouple 1' the cables and rewind them. The airâ€" | ship will be released automatically from the mooring tower by mechanism controlled by one man, so that from first to last, apart from those on board, not more than three men will be needâ€" lcd to bring a dirigible to port and send her out again. It is being furnished with a revolyâ€" ing head. To this the airship will be closely moored, bow on, and floating clear of the ground, the vessel will be able to swing round in accordance with the direction of the wind.

"Isostasy" is the particular science which deals with the structure of the earth, and Sir Sidney told how all mountains and heights standing above sea level are compensated by deficienâ€" cies of matter underlying them below sea level, and that all oceans and surâ€" ftace hollows dipping below sea level are compoensated by excesses of mat ter underlying them in the crust. There is considerable evidence in favor of the view that the condition of isostasy exists throughout the earthly crust. Apparently, in a region where an extra load of rock is accumulated, the underlying crust increases in denâ€" sity, and wherever rock is removed or eroded, the crust beneath increases in density.

Vancouver would be famous it it had only the attraction of "Stanley Park," was the opinion of an English tourist who had circled the globe. That peerless playground of 1,000 acres of virgin forest, with many acres of priceless waterfront and over #11 miles of marine panorama of park foreshore, is the greatest municipal g&rk on the continent. It is fringed y English Bay which abounds with mirrored reflections of forest trees and birds of every shade and plumage bank on the surface. No builwarks or ocean wall mars the beauty, no roar« ing billows disturb trangquility, but there is all the beauty and majesty and novelty of its placid surface with a soft calling of the waves. ‘The park is picturesque with its magnificent firs and cedars, and is largely in its natural state, yet with touches of the conventional in that it is encircled by a perfect motor road which affords the pleasure of enjoying the innumerable points of interest in this wonderland. The unique brilâ€" liancy of the exquisite scenery in the distance where mountains of grace and stateliness form a group of peaks, grey and green and roseâ€"colored, call one again and again by their enchantâ€" ment. Down thair pineclad slopes, sylvan streamlets wind their way. A varlety of enormous trees, spreading their branches on the green lawns, greet the eye, creeping ivy dacorates the base of these giants of the forest.
