BOMBS FROM THE CLOUDS. Although bombs dropped from aeroplanes may be useless for sinking ships, they may be quite practical for irritating soldiers on the march 'or in camp. The German army has just carried out a manoeuvre to test the ability of the aeroplane for night attack. The machine started out after dark to find and attack a bivouac consisting of a squadron of dragoons that was encamped 50 kilometers from the starting point. The enemy was located by the aid of the camp ares, and the aeroplane swooped down above the sleeping soldiers and dropped several "bombs" into the camp. The success of the experiment is stated to have been complete. Finding a bantam's egg in its box, a pigeon has hatched a young bantam, at Briston, Norfolk, and is rearing it in pigeon style. The difficulty will come when it tri n s to teach it to fly.
