EXILE Of DEVILS ISLAND

tinctly. The prisoner responded with
military precision to the first questions
of the judge, who opened with an alb
rupt order to stand up. Dreyfus there
upon stood up and Colonel Jouanst con-
tinued:
Your name?"
alfred Dreyfus.'
Your age?"
Thirty nine years"
Your profession"
Captain of artillery"
Where were you born?'
"Mulhouse.'
Colonel Jouanst treated Dreyfus
brusquely, almost brutally. and it was
matter of satisfaction to the friends of
the prisoner when the latter set the
judge himself right on certain dates
connected with Dreyfus stay on the
Genoalon. 1t was an unimportant
point, but it was eloquent testimony to
the keenness of Dreyfus' intellect.
The prisoner sat most of the time with
his legs stretched out. his spurs resting
on the ground, his hands joined and
resting on his cap. He repealed the in
situations that he had relations with
German officers during his stay in AL
SAGE in fiercely indignant terms.

Inform the government of Eugene's de-

Mr.. Davis called on Assistant Secretary

AIRSHIP FOR USE IN WAR
German Government is Constructing
Novel Craft 10 Navigate the
Upper Atmosphere.

Copyright, 1892 by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, Oct. 21.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram. 1.-The Ger
man government has now almost completed
the construction Of an airship on scale Of
size and expense never before approached,
Major Baden Powell, leading aeronautic ex-
pert of the British army, thus describes this
momentous invention:
Through the kindness of General Count
Zeppelin / was allowed to visit the dock
yard wherein this wonderful ship is being
constructed. l was immensely impressed
on entering a great wooden building erected
on floating raft to see what appeared to
be the slender skeleton of some huge YES
sci, as big as one of our most powerful bat
tleships, but of such delicate material as
rather to suggest a stupendous bird cage.
This is made entirely Of aluminium and is
the framework on which the outer skin is to
be stretched. Inside number of large bal
looms will be placed, Underneath are the
gallery and cars. all aluminium, and here
are the engines with which to drive the
vessel, it is hoped, at a rate of twenty-five
miles an hour through the air. The total
lifting capacity will be about ten tons,
| which will enable the vessel to carry sufH-
cent stores and ballast to remain in the air
! some days.
'All this may sound like some dream, but
! Is stern reality. 1t is said altogether some
! thing like 10000 has been spent upon it,
! and a commission including many leading
scientific experts in Germany has ap-
proved the plans. In few weeks time all
should be ready for the start, and though &C
cidents and delays may happen in connection
with such a novel undertaking, much is ex-
pected from this event, since such an amount
| OF money and skill have never before beer
expended on such an enterprise and al
calculations have been so accurately made
every contingency so carefully considered
and each possibility of failure so cautiously
guarded against that we can but hope tha
success will follow"

great advantage over purely mechani
cal flying machine, such as that o
Maxim or Langley. of being able t.
rise with certainty off the grounC
and preserving it's balance whel
suspended in midair. In the case of a ma
chine lighter than the displaced air thes
uncertainties are done away with and th
whole question becomes one of speed
Twenty-Five miles an hour is perhaps NJ
great rate compared to that of the wind
which have to be surmounted. but is suffi
cient to accomplish a great deal. Given
practical airship, and improvements ar
bound TO follow, and what then? Notwith
standing what peace conferences may de
