TO TRAVEL IN AIR.
AT THE MODEST SPEED OF THREE
 HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR.

Aerial EavigatlOa.
 Charles c. Loeber, lawyer of Union
 Itreet, in this city, has invented sys.
 tenn of aeriel navigation which he claims
 will solve the question and permit
 vessels of any size and weight to go
 through the air with the greatest of
 ease. safety and rapidity if constructed
 on his principle. His invention is based
 on his discovery of meahe which make
 the air unyielding to force and impact,
 and this unyielding state of the air he
 has named anthexis, from the Greek,
 meaning that which sustains force with
 out yielding. It must not be inferred
 from the statement that Mir. Loeber is q lawyer that he has developed his system and perfected his invention without an acquired knowledge of its surroundings
 He has given aeriel navigation his care ful study for over quarter of a cen tury, and especially has studied the quality of the air or atmosphere. and one of his notable inventions is an air pump.
 This new invention has had as yet no practical test, because no machine for navigation has yet been constructed. The inventor claims, however, that he has satisfied himself of its correctness beyond doubt. He naively states that his position Is the same as that of most Inventors. He lacks the funds. Not that he is without means, but the amount needed to build vessel of the proper size for conveyance would be $5O, ,000, and he says that $50,000 is q large amount to some men. He also wants the privilege of control in the matter of construction, which means great deal to capitalists. At the same time he is as hopeful and also as buoyant as his ma chine will bo, according to his state ments, and believes that the opportunity will come for him to make, as he says, an epoch in history.
 When questioned as to the principle on which he works he said to a reporter:
 'If l were to detail to thorough scientist, the strongest kind of per. sonal friend, in the strictest confidence, the principle work upon, there would enter into his acceptance of it an ele- ment of doubt, because it is opposed to all the present ideas of aerial navigation. The air IS power substance, but its power is occult and made manifest ouly by the use of means. The balloon is the means to obtain two opposite vertical air columns and the excess of the lower over the upper air column; yacuous space in the hReuu1atic tube is the means Co obtain the full pressure force of one air column A third means which have discovered brings forth anthexis. An thexis is the foundation and embodiment of my invention of the air c;r. can say no more than this at present.
 The startling part of Mr. Loebers proposition is that he proposes his air car shall be made of iron or steel to pre- vent fire; that its extreme length shall be 19 feet;mean breadth. 27 feet; height. B feet; length and breadth of wings, 10 and P feet; total wing area, 2,lG0 square feet and that it shall have a net carry ing capacity of GOO tons. The minimum air support underneath the wings. he says, will be LlSS tons and the area of the machine will be 10 square feet. Tho means through which an- thexis are brought forth are constant, he says, and the control of the rudder ab- Solute. Three hundred miles an hour speed, according to his statement, are us easily obtainable iu the air as are thirty miles an hour on land The normal height of the car in the air will be above so as to keep it out of the zone of cyclones and au automatic register denoting tho height of the car, coupled with a simple rule fixing the heights for the various cars. will make practically impossible.
 This is comforting to know That his invention, if carried out, win prac- -ically bring the millennium, Mr. Loebcr loes not hesitate to say. As illustra- ions of the feasibility of his plan and he existence of anthexis, he uses the i lulture, which, when weighted with a oad heavier than isself, Is able to rise n the air to any distance Were not he air unyielding the bird would have 1 70 tulcrumage, and the air would slip i ly it. The bird does not obtain this by | he exertion of force, as is shown by the | wings of the eagle poised iu lir. In the case of the laden vulture he force needed wonld be force equal he weight Of the vulture and its prey, i Idded to that needed for fulcrumage md it's flying force This would mako . light impossible, he claims, unless na- ure had provided better means than imple force, and this, Mir. Loeber says, le has discovered
 When called Upon to account for his discovery he claimed it was due to prov dential good fortune. added to many ears of unremitting stndy expended on subject as to which little or nothing vas already known. and all of which lad to be elaborated by original concep- ion and design. He says a trial of the est car could be made in less than six months, and then large cars could be quilt and air conveyance used as a regu- ar method of transportation.
 Who knows but the aerial navigation nd transportation company, carrying across all the continents and wastes of waters, without seasickness r the dangers of dying of indigestion trough the diabolical railway station may be thing of the near uturG. while the men who doubt, as did hose opposing ocean steamers and loco motive transportation, may have to re- ant as they did aud bo glad to take ay of in the summer time for cool yening in Siberia and return. All this } possible, according to Mir. Loeber, and is standing in the community as man f reason in other matters warrant some egree of faithin his sincerity and sense. Brooklyn Eagle.
