born In Burlington, Iowa, in 1856, and
in 1894 moved to Boise, Idaho, living in
Salt Lake since his removal from the
gem state. He has invented a number
of articles and turned his attention to
aerial navigation over 10 years ago.
During the intervening time Mr. Innis
has given the matter much study and
has visited Chicago, San Francisco and
other cities IN his research. He is
now ready TO build a practical ma

the blades are so operated that in both
they are alternately vertical and hori-
2ontal, the propelers being sufficiently
close for the blades to ''mesh" in their
rotation, thus saving in the width OF
the machine at these points.
The author of the Invention is
quite sure that his machine represents
the best idea OF an airship in existence
today, not barring the machine Of DR..
Barton, recently adopted by the British
war department, and realizing the dar-
ing feats Of Santos Dumont. He does
not think that he will be accomplish
ing very daring feat In making an
ascension and journey in HIS alrship,
because he has made the thing so safe
that riding In II viii be less dangerous
than trip In railway train or a
'oyage upon an ocean liner. One OF
the great troubles heretofore has been
to keep the gas bag in the air in the
same position as It's construction in
tended that 1t should be- Among the
latest styles Of gas bags the shape has
been long and cylindrical, imparting
the appearance OF a monster sausage.
Let one of these affairs become up
ended" (and Santos Dumont has made
his descents by purposely causing his
balloon to assume that position by
means Of heavy weight transportable
from one end to the other) and the gas
ruches TO the highest point, leav-
ing the lower end las Timber as a dish
rag" And therein lies the danger which
has been entirely eliminated in this
invention, for the gas bag is always
kept In a horizontal position, whether
rising or descending or going forward
or backward.

Good Qualities.

Superior qualities in his invention are
stated by the originator to be these;
Absolute safety,
Perfect ability to sustain load in the
air.
No ballast.
No release Of gas In descending.
No wires or ropes to tangle or vi
brate.
Superior rgidity Of frame and per-
manence of contour in gas bag.
Minimum resistance to air in move
ment Of airship.
Protection OF gas bag from collapse
on account OF exterior air pressure.
Equilibrium insured by disposition Of
load with reference to center of buoy
ancy.
High speed, which is principally de-
pendent upon qualities named above.

AT THE FAIR.
Interest in Alrship Competition Is
Becoming Very Intense.

Mr.. Innis expects to enter the races at
the 81. Louis exposition and expects to
win out against all competitors, not
withstanding the worldwide reputation
achieved by Santos Dumont, who has
had almost unlimited capital at his
back to assist him in bringing out his
ideas. Now that Mr.. Innis has his
plans perfected he will doubtless he
able to interest some local men Of en-
terprise who have at heart the progress
Of the world and the deserved encour-
agement of meritorious genius. And
there is no doubt but success means
financial gain, as well, for the parties
in interest.

Dirigibility.

BY means OF the two rudders be-
meath the gas bag, so situated as to
exert their lateral guiding force at the
center Of vertical balance, gives to the
airship a dirigibility superior to that
of the best similar machines heretofore
tested. Both these rudders being oper-
ated simultaneously on the forward and
aft halves Of the airship both ends are
turned in unison 80 as to change the
course Of the machine very rapidly,
