SYDNEY, Doc. 21. Tlio transjiort ol wool by aeroplane is now contemplated by Aerial .Services Ltd. who propose using an all-metal aeroplane, capable of lifting eight or ten bales per trip. An estimate of the cost is being prepared for a Northern station owner, whose wool is at present transported by camel teams, which occupy weeks in getting it to the railroad, whereas the aeroplanes would cover the journey in one day. The cost would be about the same, namely £BO per ton.
