THE DEBAUSSET AlRSHlP.

NEW YORK, July H-Dr. Arthur De.
BausseJt, the inventor of the "Aeroplane, -
is stopping at the Astor house. He has
been IN Chicago for the last five or six
years where he formed a company 10 carry
on the building of All immense airship.
The company, however, could not raise
money enough to float the enterprise, and
it had TO be abandoned, although Dr. De-
Bausset claims that he demonstrated both
theoretically and practically that his ideas
were sound He is in New York TO raise
funds to carry on his inventions
DR.. DeBausset was successful in getting
bill before congress in 1883, asking for
an appropriation OF $50 600. the amount
needed for the effecting of his project. He
might have secured this amount had he
not objected to clause that was inserted
which would reserve to the government
the right TO construct any number of such
machines without being liable to the in
ventor for royalty.
DIR. DeBausset was born near Paris in
ISIS and went 10 Chicago in 1866 where he
has since practiced mediciae and devoted
his spare moments TO electrics In 1878 he
began to interest himself in aronautics
and came TO the conclusion from scientific
deductions, that to navigate the air with
purpose something far different in con-
struction from the ordinary balloon would
have TO be used, nor could hydrogen or
ammoniac gas be used. for where they
would give An ascensional force, in order
10 descend this force would have to be
wasted
SO he conceived his present idea-that of
an immense cylinder with cone ends. built
of rolled steel, ribbed aud braced on the
inside, and with sufficient strength
70 withstand the atmospheric pressure,
bat at the same time much lighter than
the weight ot the air within. Consequently
when the air would be displaced within.
the machine would ascend to an altitude
where the barometrlc pressure would
equal the weight Of the machine. II the
dsScenSio1 was required air was let into
the cyliadeys ana the desired result would
be gained DR.. DeBausSet IS an enthusi-
asst but not :. crank
