able to maintain a speed of, say, only
twenty miles an hour against strong
wind, aerial navigation by the balloon
type of airsh.p will have an enormous
stride in these closing days of the cen
tury. Enough has been accomplished
to render the further trials of Count
Zappelin's costly and carefully thought
out design matter of world-wid in
tcrcst.
The idea upon which Count Won Yep
pelin's success, so far attained, ap-
pears to be based, is that the envelope
or outer portion of the balloon should
be of such material rs to hold the con-
tanned gas for as long period as pos
sible. The difficulty has not been the
making of gas in great quantities nor
the buoyant power of large volumes
suitably contained, but its retention in
the envelope or receiver. Acting upon
this idea, the Count has produced Il
material which would hold the hydro
gen, the buoyant element being the
lightest substance known, for five
weeks without appreciab'e loss.
The cigar-shaped envelope has ca
pacity of 1000 cubic metres of this
gas tone metre equal to 39.31 inches.
The exterior of the balloon is covered
with protective surface of pegamoid
and silk. The total weight of the ship
and crew is estimated not 10 exceed
10000 pounds. The ship when COM
pleted resembles n huge cigar, made
chiefly of aluminium. 1t is 415 feet
long, and the cylinder proper is forty
feet in diameter. The total depth,
including the gondolas in which the
passengers sit. is about eighty feet.
The framework of this huge cylin-
der consists of aluminium bands
twenty-four in number. The interior
of the cigar is divided by sixteen YER
tical ribs into seventeen compart
mcnts, each of which contains an in
dependent balloon, made of material
which the manufacturer calls "ballon
in" The first ascent was to have

started. lad steered the airship
around and was heading directly for
this pontoon. when, in coming down
somewhat from the elevation we had
been floating at, the gas began to es-
cape from one of the balloons.
"This threw the point of the airship
much lower than was prepared for,
and our descent became too rapid.
81 threw out some ballast and
worked the rudder that changes the
air ships plane and direction, but it
was of no use. The machine had too
great an impetus. and the descent was
unavoidable"
Opinion in general is somewhat un-
settled.
OF course, the decisive trial has not
yet been made, for the machine is still
in the experimental stage, though an
undoubted step toward the achieve
ment of aerial fight has been made.
How characteristic of this fighting
age it is that the moment It seems
likely that the upper air has been
made accessible to mankind the first

The second trial of Count Zeppe-
Inns colossal airship is described in
press reports from F'riedrichshafen as
being notable success. After rising
to a height of about two thousand feet,
the vessel remained poised at tnat
tevel for three-Quarters of an hour. 1t
then made a series of tacks, and went
through certain turning maneuyerS,
afterward travelling with the wind in
what is described as "a generally cir
cular direction for about six miles,
being about eight miles an hour. 1t Is
said that later. in Il freshening breeze,
the air ship turned and ''made head
way against the wind. Eventually
the vessel descended with great ease
and steadiness to the lake." and was
towed to its shelter. The stability and
steering powers of the airship are de-
scribed as being excellent.
If the above reports are correct, we
still know as little about the actual
practical value of Count Zeppelh's 5
machines as we did before. 1t has
been proved merely that an airship
of this kind can ascend, maintain its
equilibrium, and be navigated in any
desired direction, provided the wind
does not much exceed the ~trength of
a gentle breeze. 1t has yet to be
shown that in stronger winds, say c.
from twenty to fifty miles an hour,
this airship can perform the same evo-
lutions. If it should show that it is

see whether they would drive the boat

the extra resistance Of the water. This
experiment was eminently successful.
the boat being driven in either direc-
ton at the rate of nearly ten miles an
hour.
The cost of the device 10 Count Yep
pelin before the first fight was some
thing like 100000. Even one charge
of hydrogen gas for the balloon costs
in the neighborhood of $2500. The
Count is now man of seventy, and
lives at the castle of Ebersberg, near
Constance, ON the German side.
He served in the German army dur
ing the French war and it is said that
no small part of his inspiration in bal
looming was derived from his expert
ence as n scout on dangerous trip
during that war. and by the desire to
see better methods of obtaining infor-
nation. 1t is believed that a balloon
which can be directed at will-can
maintain its equilibrium and descent

Count von Zeppelin is satisfied with
the performance of his airship.

Herald correspondent he said it had
been proved that it was absolutely
under the control of the steering ap-
paratus.

Zeppelin has without doubt filled

fought in Che clouds, and 'perfidious
