tracted wide attention, arrived in New
York Saturday, intending, he says to
build there large ship of the same
pattern in which to journey to Europe,
in September next. At Hartford Conn,
he has exhibited lately his air-ship.
The machine consists of balloon
shaped like cigar, with light car for
passengers beneath. The balloon is to
be 81 feet long and 20 feet in diameter,
to be constructed of silk, lined with In
dia rubber. Filled with carbonic acid
gas, the balloon can be kept inflated
for many days. In the car is to be an
electric engine of one-half horse power
with the machinery sor walking a screw
propeller and rudder which are to be at
tached to it. The balloon is driyen by
the propeller and by pair of wings al
either side Of the car The ship can be
held almost stationary in the AR by the
use of its machinery. The inventor i:
confident that in such machine he
! could go to Europe and return in five
, days. The cost Of the ships $1,000
