TAILED DESCRIPTION OF HIS FLYING MACHINE.
Mr.. VIM. r. Schroeder, has been in
New York exhibiting the models and
drawings Ofhis air-ship to several distin-
guished engineers, with whom he wished
to consult, before embarking on his peril
Gus voyage across the Atlantic. The Tri-
bHae furnishes the following description of
the air-ship (which has not yet been built J
The machine is in the form Of life
boat, supported by balloon, and is pro-
PEELED and steered in the desired direction
by apparatus like that in use in marine
vessels The boat is 65 feet in length by
about 10 feet breadth Of beam. It's ribs
are of three-quarter inch wire, and each
is capable Of bearing strain Of $500
pounds Over the wire framework attach
ed to the ribs is stretched canvas boiled in
oil, 50 as to be impervious to both water
and air. In each end Of the boat is
steel rod or mast, % feet high, which is
securely braced by stays from every part
Of the vessel. Each mast terminates above
in strong cap of wire framework, which
encircles at either end the point Of the egg
shaped balloon, which Is thus always car
ried along with the vessel, never dragging
behind or swaying from its position, no
matter how high the rate of speed may be.
Around the middle Of the balloon passes
strong girdle attached to the balloon at
points only two feet apart From this
descend henumerous carrying ropes which
support the car. The strength of the bal
loon is insured by an aggregate Of 81 miles
of netting, capable of bearing a strain of
q, 900 pounds. With this arrangement,
II the balloon should barst--which, it is
claimed, is beyond the limit Of probability
1.-The firm girdle, secured at the ends to
the masthsads, would only allow the bot
tom of the balloon to float up, forming an
immense parachute, the bsoyancy Of which
would cause slow descent in spiral
direction
The great obstacle to success in erial
locomotion heretofore has been the rotary
tendency of the balloon, which, so long as
only ons motor was employed, was an in
supeEabIe difficulty. The aronaut could
not steer against this rotation. But it
occurred TO Mr.. Schroeder that If propul-
sion could be effected both before and
behind, by one power pushing aud another
pulling, the rotation would be got rid Of,
and then guidance would be compara-
lively easy matter. To accomplish this
he has put ut each end Of the boat pro-
peller Of two blades--so that BY placing
them horizontally he can settle his boat
fat upon the ground-each blade construe-
ted Of wire and canvas, and fifteen feet
long BY four and a-half feet broad These
prcpellors, when working together, act the
lone to pull and the other to push the ship
forward. They win be able to make /, 200
revolutions per minute. At each end Of
the ship il large rudder, and these when
