The noted inventor evidently is dis
cOuraged over the prospects in aerial
navigation. From the first announce
ment of the airShip contest for a prize
of 100000 Sir Hiram has in various
ways manifested his interest. Sir
Hiram's announcement is made Incl
dentally in Il letter which he wrote to
President George L. Parker. of the
Louisiana Purchase exposition. stating
that on account of an affection of
the throat he is compelled to postpone
his mid-winter visit to ST. Louis I'M
til next August or September.

Concerning aerial navigation. which
the public of the United States geneT-
ally believed SantO-D DupmOnt had prac-
tically solved, Sir Hiram writes: a

As far as dirigible balloons are con-
