 sengers daily. 



Of course one of the great advantages, as far as 

 passengers are concerned, is the fact that the tur- 

 bine lessens the vibration, and makes travelling very 

 much more pleasant. Another distinct advantage is 

 the saving of weight and space occupied by engines. 

 Further, the mechaiiism is much more simple, and 

 very much less likely to develop defects than the 



ordinary reciprocating engine. It is certain that 

 it will not be very long before the turbine is applied 

 to warships, for the increase in manoeuvring power 

 and speed is very great. Even in connection with 

 some of the newest cruisers of the British fleet, a 

 great deal of trouble has l>een experienced with the 

 quick reciprocating engines, and it cannot be very 

 many years before these are relegated to the limbo 

 of obscurity.

JACOBITISM IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. 



Mr. C. C. Bagnell, of Feilding, N.Z., writes : — 



In the Januarr number of your paper, wlien reviewing 

 the " Montlilv Review " for Dec-ember, I notite that you 

 -av Mr. K. E. Franfillon's article entitled " Underpround 

 •lacobitism," will proliably surprise many readers by its 

 jteount of the attachment which has been cherisiied until 

 recent times, towards the exiled Stuart dynasty." It is 

 evident from this, that you are unaware of tlie existence of 



a Jacobite party in the 20th century. I heg to inform you 

 tiiat there are many thousands of Jacobites in Ens-land. 

 S'Otland and the colonies who acknowledge the PrinceBS 

 Mar.v of ]}avaria as their legitimate sovereign. I have the 

 honour of representing " Tlie Lesitiniist Jacobite League" 

 in New Zealand, and take the liberty of sending you two 

 cr three pamphlets, from which you w^ill see that loyalt.v 

 to the fttuarts is still cherisiied, by man.v of your country- 

 men.
