= HOT AIR SHIP.
How an Inventive PbiladeIphisn Expects to
Navigate the Air.


Thirty years of study AMI labor on the
| part Of Mr.. Charles L. Fest, of German
| town, is believed by that gentleman t.
have resulted in au invention which will
enable him to navigate the air with the
safety that ship sails the watery way.
Mr. Fest is German jeweler, possessing
an inventive mind, and during his thirty
years OF work, nine patents were granted
him Tor aerial apparatus which proved uu
| successful, and while bringing him no fame,
cost him IN all 50, 0QO. The last patent he
| obtained on March IS, aud the labor
| seven months before and since that date
has enabled him to produce strong ma.
nilla paper and net model Of his air ship.
This IL IN the shape of cylinder with
ono cOne-shaped ends, thirty feet long
and nine feet in diameter, weighing "a
pounds At either end on the under side
Of this tube are lamps, which will be sup
piled by rubber tubes from an oil reser
voir. The lamps are designed to generate
hot air, which is TO be the buOyaut and
guiding power. At each end of the tube
IL valve, and on each side two others,
which will be opened or shut 30 as TO allow
tho hot air to escape and change the direc
| tion OF the ship, using the principle of

fountain or gas jets. BY opening and
shutting these valves, it is also proposed
TO regulate the height of the course.
II tue miniture ship behaves 30
well in trials as TO prove its
practicabiIity, Mr.. Fest intends to
at once construct ship of sufficient size
TO carry l,4jO pounds. 1t was 40 feet in
diameter, lj0 feet long and will woigh $50
pounds. 1t will contain about s, $50 cubic
feet Of hot air. In this ship no expects to
cross the Atlantic ocean at tho rate Of 100
TO 10 miles an hour. II will carry about
90 gallons Of oil, which is sufficient to last
three days. The lamp, the valves or other
parts WIN be operated by ropes from the
car OF the ship, suspended from tue tubu

structed over 200 balloons of different
kinds. lie tried gas, electricity and other
motive powers in vain, and finally hit upon
the last plan. The ship will be covered ali

MONDAY EVENING. JULY 2, 1884.
Shall We Drink Muddy Water Z

II certainly is not desirable that mud
instead Of water should be furnished To
the people from the reservoirs of this
town. The householder Is charged a
heavy water rent, and the contract Is
that he shall have good water furnished
him. That bargain Is not kept during q
good portion Of the year. When the
water in the Conestoga is muddy the
water in the hydrants Is muddy. The
reservoir seems to be Of no use what
ever. We might as well dispense with
it altogether, so far as its purpose Is TO
purify the water we drink. That Is a
main object in building reservoirs, the
only other purpose they serve being to
collect store OF water against sudden
drain or breakage of pumping ma.
chinery. II we are TO have muddy
water we might as well have standppe
supply altogether, since we have intro
duced steam pumps that make us indie
pendent Of droughts. The water authori
ties OF the town seem to be Of this
opinion, and give us the mud from
the standpipe with great composure.
They give us too much of it. We are
of opinion that the patience of the peo-
ple is exhausted. Their forefathers
built q reservoir which amply supplied
the town with pure water half century
or 30 ago, and continued to do it until
within the past decade. Endless sums
Of money have been squaudered on the
water works, and every now and then,
when big expense is incurred, we are
assured that we are going now to have
au abundance Of lovely water. How
the promise is kept we all know. There
is never semblance of keeping it. Ii
your house Is not situated on a hill you
can get enough Of the fluid, but when
you are up high your reliance must be
on your own water works. When the
Conestoga is limpid you get limpid
water, but what you get just depends
on what the Conestoga has at the time /;
and as it carries mud for good portion
Of the year, you get mud.
Do you like it ? IL not, stop your
neighbor If he is in councils as he passes
your house and ask him why it is, when
you pay the city for water, you get the
stuff your hydrant furnishes you 50 often.
Tell HIM that you think the city ought
to try to be at least honest, aud if it
can't furnish twelve months supply Of
clean water it ought not TO charge for
it. Ask him what the use Of a reservoir
is, and II he does not know that it is
intended to provide place where the
water can rest, after it is pumped, until
it is settled and clear, advise him o.
Its use and ask him to inform him.
self about it. Perhaps If the council
men are made aware that we can have
pure wa'e by utilizing our reservoirs
they may see TO it that they are permit
ted to become the purifiers they are Cal
culated for. And If we really need more
reservoirs, as is likely, perhaps they will
be persuaded to build them just to
deal honestly with the people, to whom
they have agreed to furnish pure water
In abundance, but TO whom they DO not
furnish it at all, fifty to hundred days
in the year.

IL spite of the heavy tagif on works OF

American buyers during the last seven
