AN AERoSTATIC CONGRESS.
An Interesting feature In COnnec-

chase Centennial Exposition.

st. Louis, Jan. 6.--The classification
already adopted and being promul.
gated by the Louisiana Purchase ex.
position provides for an exhibit Of
aerial navigation in the department
of transportation.
In the scope of the international
congresses during the Worlds fair
which will treat the exhibits from al
academic standpoint, provision has
been made for an Aerostatic con-
gress. The aerial tournament, that
has been provided for, therefore is
an additional step, adding to the ex-
hibit and to the discussion of aero.
states the actual demonstration.
Group II in the department. of
transportation will be devoted entire
~ to exhibits of aerial navigation,
1t will embrace four classes, as fol-
lows:
Glass 4S1. Balloon construction
Fabrics, varnshes, cars, valves, net.
ting cordage; appliances for stop.
ping balloons, anchors, grapnels,
generation of hydrogen and of other
light gases. Captive balloons.
Glass 1882. Aerial voyages-Use of
balloons for the study of the atmos-
phere, air currents, clouds, tempera-
turc at great height, optical phc-

AERIAL NAVIGATION.
The st. Louis Worlds Fair VIII Of
fer Substantial Inducements
For Its Development.

ST. Louis, Jan. THE Louisiana
Purchase Exposition Co. will offer a
prize of not less than 100000, and
possibly amounting to 100000, for a
successful airship to be exhibited at
the exposition in 1903. This announce
ment was made after members of the
committee had determined upon the
feasibility and attractiyeness of the
idea. A tournament of airships is the
corollary of the offer of the prize.
Tests of the various airships COM
peting for the prize will be made on
the site of the exposition, and it is
expected that all the scientists of the
world that have undertaken to solve
the problem of aerial navigation will
be present with their latest devices.
While no special effort will be made
to encourage any particular inventor,
it is thought by the executive com
mittee that Santos-D umont, who has
attained the greatest amount Of sue
cess up to the present, will be
prominent figure in the contest, and
that, with the inducement offered, he
will bring great energy to bear dur
ing the intermediate time so that his
Eiifel tower fight may be repeated
here with more certainty, and the
journey greatly heightened.
From the first drafting of the class
ificaton of the exposition exhibits
those things which have to do with
aerial navigation have been given a
prominent place. The decision of the
committee will result in an aero
nautic congress, which will be at
tended by men who have been at
tracing public attention for years
past, each bringing with him his
strongest claim of solving the next
scientific feat the world is looking
forward to. 1t Vas thought advisa-
bic to offer large prize, in order to
make the competition as inclusive as |
possible. While the honor of taking
the first place in sucha contest would |
be regarded as sufficient inducement
by some others who are less able
to enter the race may find
backing with so generous
prize in sight. In this way it is be-
lieved that every man with an inven-
ton the plausibility of which he can
demonstrate will be among the con-
testantS.
