Sealsea of the Italan Ministry has
' ad\ ised officials of the Penama
i Pacific International Exposition
t'jat Italy will particlp.i'e in the
exposition and will expend $400,
000 on an elaborate and compre
hensive national exhibit. , '
Signor Nathan, the former Mayor
of the City of Rome, has accepted
thtr appointment as Italian Royal
Commissioner to the exnoeitlon and
will leave for America soon to ded
icate his country's site.
The Italian Parliament recently
appropriatned $400,000 for par
ticipation and interest, »hich has
been keen in Italy over the expos
itor i>, immediately became an ex
pression of enthusiam. It is re

WHAT THE AIRMEN'
ARE NOW PLANKING
The recent feats of Pengoud and
lieachey, the new automatic stab
ilizer, the troubles of the dirig
ibles and the ever-present possib
ility of transatlantic flight are the
constant subjects of conversation
among airmen, and he who would
forecast the future of aviation
may obtain his best lead by talk
ing with^the airmen themselves.
At Hammondsport, N. Y., there
is a boarding house known as "the
aviators' rooat," Here 15 or 20 air
men and Inventors of aeroplanes
gather daily, and after dinner, un
1?r the soothinp influence of good
tobacco, the imagination of the most
alert and practical men in the game
is given free play.
Transatlantic flight is the center
of interest, and among the prob
lems considered is that of transfer
ring gasoline from one aeroplane
to another during flight. The pos
sibility of launching an aeroplane
from the top of a dirigible is much
discussed, and we may expect to
see this feat accomplished in the
near future.—L. J. Leah in the
April popular Mechanics Magazine.
