AN AIRSHIP. SURE ENOUGH.
Prof. Barnard Scars Away for Twelve
Miles From Nashville.

Nashville Correspondence New York SUM-
An airship on which Prof Arthur w
Barnard. director Of physical training OF
the Young Mems Christian Association, OF
this city. has been at work for long time
made its initial journey to-day.
The ship, which has been in process OF
completion for weeks in a secluded place
near the Tennessee Centennial Exposition
grounds. was brought out this morning to
the great establishment of even most OF
the officials of the Exposition, as the Sc
cret had been carefully guarded.
Prof. Barnard quickly made arrange
ments for his trip At 11:15 o'clock the
professor. dofing his hat to the Exposition
officials. and several hundred visitors pres
ent. said
"WeT. I'm off" He mounted a bicycle
continuance attached to a tremendous bal
loon. with sails or propellers at the front
and sides The airship rose as gracefully
as an eagle. In wonderment the assem-
blage stood gazing at the ship as 1t rose
slowly TO a great altitude. and then. just
as Prof Barnard had predicted. made a
Decline over the course of the Northwest
ern railway at a rand speed.
The wind il rather stiff said Prof.
Barnard before he went up, land would
hear me in the direction of GAINESVILLE,
but don't propose that the wind shall
dictate my course, and I shall select my
own. and go along in the direction of
Memphis
The last trace of his aerial bicycle visi-
BILE from the summit of the Exposition
building showed that he was keeping his
word. AS well as can be Judged of = re-
ceding object. the ship assumed an alti-
tude Of about half a mile, and moved
westward at a speed Of fully fifteen miles
an hour. Prof. Barnard said that after
reaching an altitude of five hundred feet
he would reverse the ship as evidence that
he had control of II. and that all was well
with him. This he did.
The ship is of watermelon shape. forty
SIX feet long and twenty feet in diameter,
and sails lengthwise. Instead of the bas-
ket attachment of a balloon it has a bicy-
Gle frame. and by means of the pedals and
the handles. the propeller and the side sails
are controlled.
The propeller extends ten feet In front
Of the machine, ana consists Oh reNeIsipIe
sails. about one-twentieth the size of the
balloon At either side of the machine is
a kite-shaped sail about three feet long
by two feet wide These also are reversi-
bic. and are controlled by revolving lev
ers.
The balloon is filled with hydrogen, and
Is made of silk and cotton. In color II Is
light yellow. The protection afforded the
operator is an iron frame around the mid
die Of the body. In every other respect
his position is Just the same as bicycle
riders.
Prof. Barnard returned to the city to-
night. He had gone about twelve miles
when one Of the propellers broke. and he
was obliged to descend. which was easily
done. He will make another trip in few
days. Prof. Barnard says he is greatly
pleased with the success of the trip he
made.

ADDITIONAL FACILITIES
For Getting Into the Country from the
CITY.


To the Editor of the Register
sir:-When our population shall reach
5O.OO0 or 81. 1000, maybe before that. the pos
sibiity of reaching suburban homes will
force itself to the front ana our citizens
Will be compelled to look about them for
well located land within easy reach and al
reasonable prices.
Fortunately Tor our city, we are nobcoh-
nned 10 a single point of the compass
North OF US there is a beautiful river bot
tom high enough 10 be safe from inunda-
ton and easy of access, by an extension
OF the electric road from its present norIh-
ern terminus-say two or three miles,
Passing the Top" MILL one is out in the
country in a four or five minute ride.
Then there Is another very desirable out
let. promising cool country breezes ana
exemption from smoke and other city an
noyances. l suggest for this enterprise
the building of an incline railway, running
ND the crest of Chapiine's hill and taking

with scarcely a single accident from
years end to years end. have seen four
horse teams frequently on the platforms
and it is notorious that more people are
moved with less risk than by almost any
other conveyance.
Regarding the policy of giving away or
leasing at 4 nominal sum. these valuable
franchises to either of the applicants l
feel confident our citizens. and especially
our taxpayers. are opposed to any measure
of this sort. and we look to the gentlemen
who represent US in the City Council to
carefully shield our interests. Do not give
ear to the haste of either of these parties
This is one OF the times when there's luck
and fairer dealing in leisure.
To take a solid business view of things,
is ii not wise 10 ponder over the subject oil
beighing ourselves away to the country?
Let rs remember that every home that is
built outside of our corporation detracts
from the value of our houses and lots. II
means that our manufacturers, business OF
all kinds. indeed, must bear heavier load
Of taxes. This view comes home to the
pocket of every owner Of a house or lot
in the city.
Taking a calm look at our surroundings,
I hope the deep anxiety of two or three
traction companies may not carry our
selves off our feet and do in haste what
we may bitterly repent at leisure.
