THE ART OF FLYING.
THE RHEIMS MEETING. SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. By Cable. —Press Association. —Copyright Received July 5, 9.20 p.m. Paris, July 5. There was a great attendance at the Rlieiins' aviation meeting. The weather for the opening was gusty, with rain; then a calm prevailed. Twenty machines were flying simultaneously. Eight accidents occurred, and three aeroplanes were smashed. M. Martinet was badly injured. Experts, discussing Watcher's death, insist on the danger of aeroplanrng in a strong wind. This possesses a peculiar fascination for aviators, but it overstrains the frames of the machines.
THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ZEPPELIN. LESSON OF THE ACCIDENT. Received July 5, 9.20 p.m. Berlin, July 5. Count Zeppelin states that Zeppelin VII. was caught upward in a whirlwind, causing a subsequent fall. The lesson of the accident is not in building a different type of machine, but in the observation of the leather so as to avoid such winds, as ships avoid typhoons. DE LESSEPS AT MONTREAL. Received July 5, 9.20 p.m. Montreal, July 5. De Lesseps, the Frenchman, circled round Montreal at a height of 2000 feet, covering thirty miles in forty-nine minutes.
