famous soon will be. In artistic work few
issues have excelled this one. f. A. Abbey's
sketches, some of them fulI-page are simply

Soon We Shall Fly.

A balloon ascension, under the direction
of the Novelty Air Ship company. was
made last week at Coney Island. Peter G.
tCampbell, a South Brooklyn jeweler, is
she inventor. James X. Allen, II profess
sional aeronaut, of Providence, r. L. made
the start at 4 O'Clock. The airship moved
upward TO the height of 500 feet. There
it remained stationary for several minutes
and finally under the direction of the
aeronaut moved about in different courses
ut his will. After m~aneuvering about in
the air for half an hour, the ship took a
northeast course, and came to the ground
i'll the village of Sheepshead Bay. Allen
states that in all it's movements, with but
few exceptions, the machine obeyed the
action of its various propellers and screws,
and that the landing made was intentional.
The air ship combines the principles Of a
balloon and n flying machine. The balloon
is ciear-shaped, sixty feet long and forty
two feet in diameter in the center. The
car and flying machine is suspended from
the balloon by means of a bar running
lengthwise under it. A~propeller is pro-
vided on both sides of the car, and hinged
wings are adjusted SO as to allow vertical
movement at right angles to the car, like
the wings of birds. The inventor Of the
