glide right over him. If you meet him
in the narrow roadway in a red gasoline
tank you are liable to bump right into
him, or. if you try to dodge him, you
may run into a fence or slide off a
bridge or down an embankment. There
are no barbwire fences in the air and
no bridges, only clouds. If you bump
into a wireless message there is no
harm done, and when you get into a
cloud YOU can blow the fog-horn until
you get out of it. And so far as | can
see, the airships use the same motors
as the automobiles. anyway, and the
gasoline smell won't kill anyone but
the birds. and l think we have too
many English sparrows, anyway. OF
course the time will come when the
airships will run by electricity taken
from the air. and all the sky-pilots will
have to do when the power is running
low is to open a valve and scoop up
a new supply. For a while, until the
country people get used to them, the
airship will have to fly beyond the
reach of the farmers shot gun. But
if the farmer gets too gay with his
gun ii will be an easy matter 10 dip
down and pick up a few of his chick

away with them. And it will be easy
to knock down six acres of standing
corn or push over the farmers wind
mill. But when the farmer gets to using
the airships himself he won't want TO

ground and behead a 50-acre field of
wheat in few hours. And when the
cows get into the cornfield no need of
trying to drive them out. Just let
down a graphing hook from an airship
and lift them one by one into the next
field. And think how easy it would be
to pull stumps with"

And just then we decided it was time
to go over to the grand basin and see
the illumination and special fireworks.
We got there just in time. Bursting
bombs and skyrockets, gigantic sput-
tering wheels throwing off many color
ed balls of fire, sparkling geysers of
fire bursting from the grand basin and
fiery swans and elephants walking on
the surface of the water-this was the
spectacle that met our eyes.
