AVIATORS' ESCAPES. Some of our military avaitors have lately had very narrow escapes owing to the effect of the high winds which have been blowing. It must be reniem"bered that if an aeroplane which does, say, seventy miles an hour in calm air, goes up in a wind which at high altitudes is blowing perhaps at sixty miles per hour, its speed against that wind will only be about ten miles an hour, whereas if it turns and flies' with the wind, the wind-speed will be added to its own speed, and it will then be doing about 130 miles per hour—just as the speed of a boat on a river is decreased or increased when going or with the current. When an aeroplane is flying against the wind, it thus offers an almost stationary mark. The Germans, of course, know this as well as we do, and apparently hold their fire till they see the machine is flying against the wind 1 and as a Tesult they are now getting very much closer to their targets than they did during the earlier part of the war, when the weather was practically calm for weeks at a time. The consequence is that when our pilots are flying against the wind, and find the shells coming too close, they promptly turn and sail off down wind, and then, of course, their speed is so terrific that it is almost impossible to hit them.
