modern air ship. Itmustbe of aluminium and be
sustained by a balloon, to which it must be
closely secured. Its shape, when so connected,
must be substantially that of cigar. thus offer
ing the least resistance to the air. There must
be planes and screws at its sides to steady ii.
and other screws at both stem and stern to pro-
pei and guide it. In addition the screws must
be driven at incredible speed by stored cleo
tricity.
One can imagine such a ship quietly and
swiftly traversing its course in a calm Of air;
and 1t is said to have been accomplished. But
when that calm sea shall have become a raging
tempest. sweeping through space with the force
OF gale, what will be the fate of this creation
OF ones imagination? Can we picture it con-
temptuously hinging aside the driven air
and keeping its steady course to port like its
great counterpart. the ocean steamship? Or
rather. would it not be blown like bubble
where the wind listeth," its swiftly rotating
screws striving in vain to get purchase on the
thin air?'
Aerial navigation is not yet fact: but the
progress of aeronautical art and science cannot
be doubted. Who can successfully contend
but that somewhere in the trackless future we
will see

The Development of This Useful implement
From the Sharpened Flint
'This case full of implements which we have
newly placed on exhibition is designed to show
the development of the tool which we call the
knife, beginning from the earliest times" said
Prof. Mason at the National Museum to Star
reporter. First you observe. is the fragment
OF flint which the savage split by banging it on
top wits'a stone hammer into a number nj
flakes. The smaller ones were used for arrow
points and the bigger ones for knives. their
edges being split off so sharp that You might
almost shave with some of them. Next Won
see the flint fake inserted into handle of snlit
wood or bone, and. as further improvements
the fastening Of this primitive knife in the
handle by the rosin Of trees and by cord of one
sort or another bound around to secure IL
The most beautiful knife in the collection Is
this exquisitely nodded blade of preenisb
jade belonging to the stone age branded with
walrus tusk. You can hardly find a more
admirably formed weapon among the products
OF modern cutlery wares. Most curious of the
modern tools here is this sailors knife. souare
at the end instead OF pointed. to prevent stab
bling in row or the dangerous falling of the
weapon from aloft Its blade drops out at the
end OF the handle when catch is touched no
that Jack can hold q rope with one hand and
open the knife for service without the need of
ten angers."

in the water or on the land, while in other in
stances the navigator sits in a suspended car or
basket fastened to n rope. the end of the rope
being free or else tied to boat on the water or
drag on the land. In several cases the plane
aerOnaut in the car to different angles to guide
or influence Its direction. 1t is supposed to
ascend or descend in the direction and at the
point desired by fitting or adjusting the plane
at an angle up or down, as the case may be. 90
as to have it act on the atmosphere as an in
clined plane. 1t has been used. however, in
more recent times simply to give stability by
having it fixed or adjusted to extend along the
sides of or beneath the balloon, just as the
stability of boat is increased by having extern
sions projected to engage the surface of the
water. Another purpose is subserved by this
manner of its use, and that is to aid the easy
descent Of the ship by presenting broad and
extended surface to the atmosphere.
At length attempts in the direction indicated
seem TO be generally recognized as impractical
BILE and futile. 1t has apparently come to be
conceded that if man is to navigate the air it
must be in machines less rude and primitive,
in machines formed in stricter obedience to
natural and mechanical laws; and, as will be
told later on, some few have gone so far to
try to entirely eliminate from the problem the
principle of buoyancy and to rely solely and
wholly on mechanical means, notwithstanding
the dreaded fact that any accident to the rails
ing machinery would result in the instant fall
and utter destruction Of the ship and all IT
precious freight. This defect though. was to
be partially avoided by means Of the parachute

The fan wheel. or more accurately speaking,
the screw-propeller wheel, was seized on as the
thing to both raise and propel the ship. 1t
may be stated here, however, that its use for
this purpose after the mechanical means of
wings had been generally abandoned was not
new. for it had been tried early in the art in
this country applied to balloons to propel and
guide them and arranged in such manner that
it could be used also for communicating ver-
teal ascending movement to aid the balloon to
rise and to give a forward and backward pro-
pulsiOn to the whole device when in the air.
Another invention consisted OF a rocket-shaped
balloon with rotary fan wheels and discharge
pipes passing out at the stern Of the ship, the
action of the wheels forcibly driving the air out
of the stern of the balloon through the pipes,
propelling the ship in the same manner as a
rocket.

or the many different efforts to solve the
problem Of support and propulsion that by
wings Is among the earliest. Two distinct ideas
In regard to the manner of their application
have Obtained One, the elder of the two, in
wolves the use Of an attachment consisting Of
two side wings and a tail wing applied to the
operator by frames and joirts and operated by
the continued action Of his arms and legs in a
manner somewhat similar TO swimming. the
difference in the density Of water and air being
compensated for in the greater extent Of sur
face presented by the wings in one case over
the hands and feet in the other. This idea has
been notified by adding a balloon from which
the operator Is suspended by ropes connected
to the frame of the attachment While thus
suspended he operates the wings and flies in
the direction desired. The other idea is to
sustain car By balloon and 70 draw the de-
vice By birds harlesset to the car.

ANOTHER FORM OF SHIP

Another means of somewhat like principle is
that Of producing and maintaining a supply of
gas or vapor or air in a receiver and forcing
tie same from discharging nozzle at the rear
end of the ship under great pressure whereby
the impact of the escaping gas against the par
titles of the surrounding air in which the ship
floats causes it to be moved. These remarkable
means of propulsion are not to be considered
less seriously from autilitarian standpoint than
a balloon patented to another inventor made of
ribs. covered with an air-tight cover from
which the air IL to be exhausted until a vacuum
is produced. IL is unnecessary to say that such
a balloon is utterly worthless. as the ribs can
not be made strong enough to sustain the
CT 1shing weight OF the atmosphere and at the
same time light enough not to overcome the
buoyancy of the balloon. In another patent
the car is provided with one or more gas cham
bers. which are connected by pipes with a
pump. and other pipes extend both from the
pump and the chambers to the neck or mouth
of the balloon. Through the latter pipes gas
is admitted to or withdrawn from the balloon.
The chambers are filed with gas compressed
therein by means OF the pump. II it is desired
to initiate the balloon suitable stopcocks in the
induction pipes are opened and the gas is
admitted When it is desired to exhaust the
balloon the gas is drawn out by the pump
through the eduction pipes and returned to the
chambers. By these means the balloon can be
ma lie To ascend or descend at the will of the
operator. without any waste of gas or throwing
out of ballast. This idea is highly thought Of
and used today. the means and arrangement
being substantially the same, or, il varied, the
bal Don itself is divided into compartments and
the gas il withdrawn from q number Of them
to cause il TO descend.

ALUMINIUM MAY DO IT.

That wonderful metal aluminium, 1t il now
though. by many. will make practicable aerial
navigation. Whether it will do so remains vet
to be proved. In the second patent granted in
this country for aerial navigation, in 1861 it is
proposed to construct the engines which drive
the screws of aluminium. And il is stated in
suntlry patents since issued that certain parts
of the ship are to be of this metal. II the ship
could be made very light, and yet strong
enough-so the inventors argue-the problem
would be nearly. if not quite solved. Air being
a resisting medium, they believe that all that
is necessary is to rotate the screws fast enough
and the ship will be raised and propelled in the
air Is ii is propelled on the water. But with
the motive powers now known it has not been
possible to rotate the screws swiftly enough to
raise the ship In comparatively recent years
electricity has been proposed, thus doing away
with the weight OF the engines and boiler and
fuel But such schemes have always proposed
the use of a balloon Of sufficient buoyancy to
exactly float the whole device, the idea being
to use the screws TO accomplish positive ascent
and descent, propulsion and guidance. II the
ship is constructed of aluminium, ii will, of
course. be lighter and a smaller balloon will be
niece ssary. This is very desirable for the
smaller the balloon the more easily it can be
controlled.
