An Indian Aeroplane.

   FROM India we have received an interesting photograph, which we reproduce on this page. It is sent by Engineer O. H. Drewe, of the Sarpukuria and Asansol Collieries, Ltd , Asansol, who writes as follows, under the date of March 10th : - "Herewith I forward a photograph of my aeroplane, which was taken after it smashed. I started down an inclined railway on top of a truck, and had scarcely gone 100 yards when the machine left the truck with me on board, and flew a distance of 20 yards. Unfortunately I had no motor, or would have made a much longer flight. I had twenty witnesses at my experiment."
