AVIATION.

The great aviation feat this year is to be the crossing of the Atlantic "by aeroplane. Big prize money is being offered for the venture, and Mr Reedman Wanamaker says an aeroboat is now building in New York that will try the trip. The craft is to be like large Curtiss flying boat, and the fight is to be utilised to develop aerial navigation and incidentally to celebrate the Anglo-American Centenary of Peace. The route is to be from St. John’s, Newfoundland, to the Irish coast, and it calls for 1600 miles continuous flying to be done, ifpossible, between dawn and njghtfall of a single day. ■' THE CHARM OF MUSIC. Kings of old have been soothed with music: tired nerves have been relaxed under its benign influence; and old age has Quickened and pulsated like fiery snirits of youth! There is nothing like music. To be able to produce harmonies—delightful sounds that rest and soothe—surely this is a thing to be desired. Have you a piano in your home? If not, think what you are missing. Piano warehouses,' now-a-days, are almost philanthropic in the way in which they give opportunities for everyone to have music. For a trifling sum down, and - small instalments tnonthly, the J)resy den Piano Comnany. Limited, Wellington. will make you *he possessor of a superb instrument. You will never miss the payments—they are so microscrnic—and in a short time the pian*' ””‘ll be your v© r v own. North Island manager—Mr M. J. Brookes. JiOcal representative, G. W, Mills. 7
