AN AEROPLANE WHICH IS AWATS IN THE AIR. 



The New Method of Launching a Sea-Plane from a Battleship. 



The recent Naval Manoeuvres at Home proved the immense value of the sea-plane for short- 

 distance scouting, and British battleships are to be equipped with them as speedily as possible. 

 M. Bleriot, who is to construct some of the machines for the Admiralty, has recently devised 

 a plan which greatly facilitates the launching of a sea-plane from a warship, and its alighting 

 at the end of its journey. The large diagram illustrates the new device, while the smaller 

 diagram shows the method at present in use.
