(Reoeived This Day, 11 a.m.) LONDON, April 27. An aeroplane eapable of flying three-quarters of the distance to Australia without stopping, is on the vei-ge_of completion in France. It is designed hy the famous Louis Bleriot, and is an immense monoplane more perfectiy streamlined than any other existing flying craft, The weight is so lessened that it can ascend with a tremendous load of petrol. Meanwhile, so rapid is the general improvement of aircraft that British air circles confidently predict a phenomenal speed of seven miles per minute. British seaplanes are at present undergoing modifications for the approaching tests of a speed of • 400 xniles an hour. It is confidently anticipated that if this speed could be allied with Bleriot' s petrol carrier, it would mean that the Australian coast could he reaehed from London in little more than 24 hours.
