A NEW AIR SHIP.
Description or Tennesseean's Wen.
derful Inventiou.

0efful IuveouOus
NEW York, September 22.-Geo.W.S Starr,
Of Tennessee, is showing models of his new
aif ship to interested persons in Cooper
Institute this evening. The full.siIed air
ship, as designed by Mr.. Starr, which will
cost about ZOO to construct, will be in
the shape OF two cylinders, the outer ends
pointed, joined together so as to form 9
straight line, with q space between
them large enough for q wind'wheel
TO revolve, its axis being parallel with
the cylinders. Betweet the cylinders will
also be suspended the car to contain the en-
CINE that runs the wheel, and the operator
and the supplies Of water and coal gas TO
feed the engine. The length OF the air-shiP
will be 1872 feet, the diameter OF the cylin-
ders Is feet, the diameter OF the propelling
wheel 26 feet, the capacity OF the cylin-
ders for holding gas $500 cubic feet,
and the ascending power of the gas l,Ni
pounds. A rudder at the stern will steer
the ship, small vane on an upright axis
will serve to raise and lower il, and weight
hung longitudinally below ii on movable
cape will govern its inclination. Mr.. Starr
thinks that his invention will be especially
useful for reconnoitering in time Of war,
for carrying mails over rough country, etc.
He says that extra cylinders, with cars
suspended beneath, can be drawn like o
train of cars with the single propeller.
