Now the law of the air has come to have an immediate commercial importance, and in its novelty and subtlety seems to present a fascinating field for jurists. The fascination inherent in the subject probably accounts for the publication in Paris of the first number of a special periodical devoted to this subject-- La Revue Juridique de la Locomotion Aerienne.
