THE plans of wonderful military airship
or balloon are shortly to be laid before the
secretary of War by Capt Martinez, Il span
lard lie has been consulting Mr. Thomas A.
Edison with a view of his putting into II an
improved electrical apparatus for motive
power. The device has already been adopted
by Italy. France. and other European cOun.
tries It is described as IAN airship with II
turtle shaped chamber made of rubber coated
canvas stretched over light but strong
framework. II is absolutely alright. and l..
provided with glass windows and Surmounted
by an airtght glass pilot house. On each side
is a great fiat wing constructed of gutta prrcha
sheets. The whole surface of these wings
consists of Stats, such as are used In modern
window blinds. When the wngis raised these
Stats automatically turn their edges upward,
So that there is practically no resistance to the
air, hut when the wings sweep downward the
Stats are all fiat again. So that a complete sur
face is formed, Offering great resistance.
These wings are to be worked by electric ina
chinery inside of the alright car. When a
sufficient height has been reached the machin-
cry will set the wings outstretched at right
angles, with slight slant. So that the whole
structure will descend by its own weight at
the same time going forward and traversing
an enormous distance, Just aS a bird sinks with
mOtioness wings to the earth in u Slantmg
direction. Before the car reaches the ground
movement of the machinery will alter the
slant of the wings so that the terrific mo
mentum of the ship will cause II to soar up
again. as gull drops TO within a few inches
of the water and by triliing alteration Of the
set OF lis wings rises again without touching.
| The ship will be constantly moving onward.
! When the force Of the upward movement Is
almost expended the great wings will begin to
move again. Thus the ship will travel along
| by series Of zigzag movements"
