with ample time before him to work out
problems within reach of his inventive
genius. Dumont il n native of Brazil. Last

at st. Cloud, in France. he gave orders
that No. 8 should be built forthwith. by
the firm of Lachambre. which constructed
all his a~irships. No. 6 is the balloon which
was used at Monaco. 1t is constructed on
the principle of the previous model, some

Its principal agency is the petroleum no

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC,
Santos-Dumont the a%eronaut, fresh from
his triumphs at Monte Carlo in the last
week Of January, will arrive in st. Louis
April 10. He has been engaged by the
Worlds Fair managers to assume control
of the airship contest, in which he will be
"a competitor. He will bring with him the
airship with which he made his successful
experiment at Monaco. as well as others
now being constructed by a French firm
from designs made by him.
The balloon which will be brought here is
the same that won him the German prize
in a competition n year ago. This airship
was stationed IN the harbor Of CondaHlne
in a large shed erected for Dumont by the
Casino Association. Some Of the most noted
yacht owners with their yachts attended
the exhibitions Of the daring aeronaut.

At ESQ in the afternoon he was ready for

the ship Gear cut into the sea. and there
gave a fine exhibition of its capabilities.
He roEe and sank. turned. paused. and shot
up hi..h into space amidst the frantic cheers

executed with ease and assurance. He d.

turned to his starting point on the boule-
ward.
WORLDS FAIR TO MARK NEW EPOCH.
The dream OF ages and generations to
sail the air at will, Ike the birds God ere

ST. Louis Worlds Fair will set the seal OF
approval upon the invention which viii
mark a new era in the history OF the world.

The Zeppelin airship was an improvement.
IN that direction on that of Krebs-Renard,
Dumont went a step further than Zeppelin
in solving the puzzle.
Since Otto Lilienthal gave up his life for
the idea of sailing the air, the pathway of
that invention is strewn with failures and
disappointments. Progress was slowly
made. but the achievement seems so near
at hard that the aged may take hope to
see the day when ships will fly above their

The ST. Louis Exposition will bring the

date France holds the record for the longest
continuous trip with a balloon, which is the
invention of Count de La Vaulx. A year
