ATRsHIP PROBLEMS.

Of course the airship hasn't arrived as yet, Santos Dumont has skinned over the surface of France for d few hundred yards and our own Wright br1thers tell remarkable stories of even greater achievements in this line. but for the present nobody is flying. Lots of people are busy with aeroplane models and everybody is prophesying but beyond an occasional balloon the upper air still belongs to the birds and man travels on the earth's surface just as usual This doesn't mean, of course that the airship isn't coming. Indeed, it means exactly the opposite, for this general interest, together with the few qualified successes in flying, demons strates that it's only matter of time until the problem will be solved. So reasons the world, which regards the airship as a certainty of the immediate future, and is already turning to the important questions which it is bound to raise. M
 Will it, for instance, have free right of way? Boundary lines hitherto have been very deep, but no higher than the housetops. The title to your lot makes you owner of a solid chunk" of ground that reaches to the earths cen ter. If there are gold mines or coal mines or oil reservoirs or any treasures whatsoever under the 25x100 feet on which your house stands, they belong to you as much as the wheelbarrrow or rose-bush that are out in the back yard. No one can burrow into them with impunity any more than he can break through your fence. But how about the realm above? Have yoN title to 25xt0O feet of air clear to the dome of the universe? Does the air ship trespass when it sails above as the miner would were he to drive a tunnel underneath?
 The same question, but in it's larger aspects, has to do with nations, and brings up Q world of puzzles for the. statesmen who frame tariff, immigra- tion and other legislation growing out of international association. We have custom houses and receiving stations now that answer every purpose, but when men begin to fly over boundary lines therell be some mighty interest," ing problems for the officials How high up do these international boun- dary lines reach, anyway? An immi- grant is here when he lands on Ellis Island, but is he here when he is 4OOO feet above Wall street. say? And what about the pocketful of diamonds that an airship traveller may bring in when his vessel lands in Kalamazoo, Mich, or Podunk,, Ok.,? Who owns the up- per air, anyway, and by that means is he to keep this property of his out of the hands of trespassers? These are problems that follow the airship, and they're nearly as difficult, too, as the airship itself.-NeWark News.
