Brazilian AerOnaut Considers Hi.
Dirfg1bIe Balloon Success.

braZll1an Aerohaut Considers HIS
DirigtbIe Balloon Success.
PARIS, July 24.-Keen interest Is still
taken in the Siderable balloon of the Bra
lillian aeronaut, NJ. Santos Dumont. Each
day he visits the grounds of the Aero
club, the Pare de Aero station at St.
Cloud where the balloon is kept filed
in readiness to seize the first opportunity
to attempt to win the Deutsch prize, the
sum OF 100000 francs offered for a dirigi-
BILE balloon. The motor is working sat
isfactorily and producing higher speed
than at the last trial, but wind and
rain have thus far prevented a. thorough
test.
Maj. Renard, director of the mintary
ballooning station at Meudon, in the
course of an interview published today.
asserts that M Santos Dumont will have
achieved nothing until he exceeds the
speed of six meters per second attained
by the balloon La Franco, propelled
by electro-dynamos in 1884 He pays a
tribute to- the pluck of the Brazilian aero
naut and admits that the first idea of
a petroleum motor is due to his genius
To this M. Santos Dumont replies that
he not only, has surpassed the speed of
La France, but has achieved for a dis
tance OF 326 meters a speed officially
verified as exceeding ten meters per sec
ond. He says he regards speed as 81
secondary Consideration, which can be
developed after definitely demonstrating
the success of his dirigible balloon.
So confident Is M Santos Dumont of
winning the prize that he offers, WITH ac-
cumulated interest thereon, another prize
of 1900 francs to the first member of
the Aero club performing the trip from
st. Cloud to Eiffel Tower. previous to
