such an inventor to test his con-

to account for the mysterious

Whether it is actually an air
ship or not, the world must get
rid of the notion that such things
are impossible. The genius of
the age will solve the problem of
aerial navigation. Nature has
surrendered her secret forces
one by one to the audacious en-

she will sooner or later make
him master of the dominion of

such assurances of sincere beilef
that it is no longer possible to
dismiss them as mere Pigments
of reckless Imagination. Hun
dreds of entirely reputable bust
ness men in the cities named are
ready to swear that they have
seen the mysterious craft floating
in the evening skies. Many have
observed what they call the
brilliant headlight of the affair
shining through the air at great
distances, while others claim to
have gained a clearer view of the
vessel. even to its outlines, struc
ture and movement.
These witnesses, and there is
a cloud of them. are honest per-
sons who could not afford to lend
their names to a public falsehood
even if SO disposed, They really
believe that they have seen an
air ship, not once or twice, but
night after night, sailing far
above them like a vesssl on the
sea. If they have been deceived
it has been by some strange con-
trivance which has fooled thous'
ands of intelligent and honest
observers scattered over parts of
three or four different States.
We are accustomed to laugh at
the notion of a perfected and OPP
erative air ship. Why ? Simply
because no such thing has ever
yet been constructed. That is
all. From the fact that it has
not been produced we conclude
that it can't be. And from that
standpoint of arrogant self-satis-
faction the idea of navigating
the air with ships as we now
navigate the sea is ridiculed as a
fantastic dream of the impossi-
BILE. But is there any substantial
reason for the dogmatic attitude:
We think not. The conditions
necessary to overcome in order
to make erlal navigation a sue
cess are thoroughly understood.
The problems to be solved are
simple and clear, and they are
. entirely mechanical in character.
When inventive genius surmounts
them-and it has already made
some headway-the airship will
become an established reality
and the world will marvel at its
very simplicity.
1t is by no means impossible
that the strange continuance
seen so frequently of late floating
above Omaha and other Western
cities is an approach to the per
fected airship, If not indeed the
