BIDS FOR BATTLEsHIPs.
Newport News Company Underbid
all Competitors.

Washington, Nov. 30.-There were
two surprises when the bids for build
ing the two big battleships authorized
by the last Congress were opened aN
the Navy department today. South
ern shipbuilding concern underbid all
the competitors North and West for
building these boats on the plans
drawn up by the Navy department.
Then Cramp offered to build the two
battleships with armor for the hulls,
and throw in another ship of the lake
type, but without armor, on his own
plans, for the sum fixed on by Congress
as the ultimate cost of the two battle
ships. The new boats will be about
10000 tons displacement, but will really
be larger than the Iowa." the largest
of the battleships now under construc-
tion.
Cramp & Sons offered to construct
| one on the departments plan for
$2,82O,000, and the two for $2,750.00O
each. They offered to build three ships
on their own plans, with complete ar

They offered to build two ships on their

the amount of combustible material which

A N EW AIR-SHIP.
A Russian Inventor Substitutes Hot Air TO
Ballast.


a Russian Inventor Substitutes Hot Air for
Ballast.
Russian engineer, Serge de Savine, now
residing in Paris, has invented a balloon in
which he plans to make long voyages. The
first will be from New York to Paris, and
next year he hopes to cross the North Pole.
All attempts to regulate the course of air
ships have heretofore failed. With his IN
vention Mr.. Savine claims TO be able to do
tins by substituting the use of hot air for
ballast, and thus utilize the atmospheric
currents and navigate the air in any desired
direction. In 1885 an attempt was made by
PIlaire de Roster TO cross from Bologne to
England.
lie had suspended beneath his hydrogen
balloon cylindrical Monigolfier, the air OF
which he heated by burn NJ upon an iron
crate, felt soaked in alcohol. But, as he
had no facilities to regulate the flame, and
as The hydrogen balloon was placed too near
to 1t, the air-ship caught fire, and The unfor-
tunate aer0naut came 10 the ground from a
hight of 5000 feet, with his assistant, Mr.
Roman.
Mr. Savlne, following up the same idea,
suggests certain considerations which were
not taken into account by Mr.. de Roster
and which led to the disaster. He purposes
TO limit the hight at which the balloon shall
travel, and 10 afford opportunity to select
appropriate atmospheric currents. 1t is
necessary, of course, to increase the distance
between the fire and hydrogen gas as much
as possible. 1t IS absolutely essential to IN
vent heating apparatus which shall COM
blne all conditions necessary for perfect
security. The apparatus must be light,
easily operated, have sufficient draft, and
give immediate results.
On these principles Mr.. Savine determined
to adopt system OF two balloons one sus-

pended beneath the other The upper bal
loon, which bears the weight of the entire
apparatus, is hydrogen balloon Of 100 600
cubic feet capacity. 1t is the largest balloon
now in existence in Paris. To it's basket Is
attached n double metallic cable 1870 feet
long, from which is suspended the Montpol-
fer of 10000 feet capacity, supporting a
basket containing the heating apparatus.
The whole concern is higher than the Ca
thedral OF Notre Dame de Paris, which is
about $50 feet high. Four aeronauts. two
in each basket will operate both balloons.
In the heating apparatus lies the chief
improvement over the former balloons. Mr..
Savine saw a suggestion in a solden lamp.
He magnified and modified it SO that it has
the aspect of a big tin grating, fed by VIOLA
tile oil (esseBce minerale), which burns as
brightly as coal gas. The oil will be con-
Quoted by system of pipes to a set of
burners OF jets in the bars of the grating, ar
ranged so that the flame will occupy an area
of one square meter. The flame is regu-
lated by cranks. Thisgrating is covered by
several cones, piled one on another, leaving,
however. openings to create powerful
draft and to conduct all the heated air into

Mr.. Sayine proved that the Montgolfer
could be filled with hot air in 25 minutes.
and that there was no fear that the Mont
golfer could catch fire, as it is made of an
uninflammable material. The hydrogen
balloon is also quite safe from fire, on ac-
count of the distance between it and the
Montgolfier-170 feet.
When the balloon ascends, and after time
shows tendency to fall, the aeronauts on
the Montgolfier will put the heating ap-
paratus in action, instead of throwing out
ballast rs the former aeronauts used to do.

Montgolfer will be filled with hot air, will
diminish the weight of the airship, and it
will rise again. small quantity of hot air
is sufficient to diminish the weight of it so
as to sustain its equilibrium. The ex-
penditure of the volatile oil will not be great
