AIR SHIP OF THE FUTURE.
Professor Bell Says the Balloon VIII
Not Re i'm IT.

Professor Bell Says the Balloon Will
Not Be in 1t.
OF course the air-ship of the future
will be constructed without any balloon
attachment, writes Professor Bell in
McClure's Magazine. The discovery Of
the balloon undoubtedly retarded the
solution Of the flying problem for over
Il hundred years. Ever since the Mont
golfers taught the world how to rise
in the air by means of inflated gas
bags the inventors working at the
problem Of aerial navigation have been
thrown on the wrong track. Scientific
men have been wasting their time
trying to steer balloons, Il thing which
in the nature of the case is impossible
to any great extent, inasmuch as bal
looms, being lighter than the resisting
air, can never make Roadway against
it. The fundamental principle of
aerial navigation is that the air-ship
must be heavier than the air. 1t is only
of recent years that men capable of
studying the problem seriously have
accepted this as an axiom. Electricity
in one form or another will undOubted-
~ be the motive power for air-ships,
and every advance in electrical know
edge brings us one step nearer to the
day when we shall fly. 1t would be
perfectly possible to-day to direct a
flying machine by means of pedant
electric wires which would transmit
the necessary current without increas-
ing the load to be borne. Perhaps a
feasible means of propelling such an
air-ship would be by a kind of trolley
system where the rod would hang down
from the car to the stretched wire. in
stead Of extending upward. This is an
idea which I would recommend to in
ventors.

The government dredges are at work
at Appleton clearing up the rock blasted
last fall. About 200 yards of solid rock
are taken out daily. Work at that point
will be finished this week as there are
but a few more yards of rock to be
taken out. Over a mile Of rock has
been blasted out along that part of the
river.
James Tyson, lately appointed to the
Queensland legislative council, is said
to be the richest man in Australia. He
was a squatter, who realized that much
money could be made in sheep, and who
placed every penny he could command
in the sheep-raising industry.

There have been many stampedes
In Montana within tho last thirty
years. Not stampedes OF horses and

present day stampedes to new dig
