tract called for only rs. The largest
motor is 70 horsepower, and in calm
air provides a speed of from IL to ii
miles an hour. With all motors work
ing, the ship will be driven 10 miles
IN hour in Gains.
The surface of the bag measures o.
09S square feet, and the volume is PA
225 cubic feet. The hydrogen with
which the bag is inflated is made of
sulphuric acid and iron shavings, and
lG5 ons of these materials, carefully
selected, were shipped to the expedi-
tons base on Danes island, The as
censional power Of the inflated bag is
1890 pounds. The weight Of the ship
itself and its equipment and crew is
1000 pounds, leaving approximately
5000 pounds for cargo. The gasoline
carried weighs $500, which is equal to
a power endurance Of $50 hours mo-
toring with the 70 horsepower motor
in full operation. At the rate of from
II to Is miles an hour this means that
the airship will be able to travel 1900
miles in calm air, or far enough to
carry the airship from the base of sup
plies to the pole and back and then
back to the pole again.

in the car is such as to insure perfect
balance under normal conditions. The
gasoline reservoirs are four in number,
two at each extreme end of the car.
In the engine-room is placed, besides
the motors, the wireless telegraph ap-
paratus. The car is So feet long by
six feet by eight feet in its other di-
mansions, Its construction represents
the maximum Of strength and the min
imum of weight, being entirely Of steel
tubing.
The power from the motors is trans
mitted to a shaft at either end Of
which is a screw propeller with broad
blades, which offer the greatest eff
cheney. The forward screw is 1917
feet In diameter and the rear screw
four feet less in diameter. There is
but one rudder, which is above the car
and below the rear end Of the bag.
This rudder is operated from the en-.
gine-room with a simple steering ap-
paratus.
Below the car there is suspended a
steel lifeboat, noDsinkable and noncaD-
stable, but of very light weight. This
boat represents the precaution against
the chance of the destruction of the
ship or its sinking into open water.
Into it are packed when not in use the
cables for the guide rope and the
retarder, two Of the most important
attachments Of the airship.
In the construction of both bag and
car the utmost care has been exercised
and only the highest possible quality
of materials used. A rtgid system of
material inspection was maintained to
reduce to the minimum the chances of
f1awed materials inadvertently being
used.
Such, In brief, is the airship in
which will be made the most remark.
able journey in history. II represents
the highest degree of skill known to
the maehinical work. No principle in
the construction Of the ship itself or of
its propelling appliances has been fol-
lowed which has not been proved to
be sound and thoroughly practicable.
The monster bag and its attachments
do not stand for a theory any more
than does the automobile that skins
the bouleyarcs. The automobile
breaks down at times and becomes ut
terly useless, but the proportion OF
efficiency is great enough TO make au-
tomobile construction one of the big
industries of the country. The Well

BY the aid of that most marvellous
modern invention Walter Wellman,
Washington correspondent Of the Chi
cago Record-Herald and noted arctic
explorer, is making a third attempt
to reach the north pole. Of the count
less number of attempts to conquer
the elements of the far north few, If
any, have ever excited the interest of
this expedition of Mr.. Wellman and
his chosen companions.
1t is this thing of going about it In
q new way that lifts the Wellman
expedition to a plane high above all
previous efforts in point of interest
that places it in a class by itself. The
devices fixed upon by Mr.. Wellman
were selected because they were the
latest offerings science has made
which were available for the purposes
OF the expedition.
The two expeditions made by Mr..
Wellman. one in 1894 and the other
in 1898, like those of all other ex-
plorers, were made on the theory that
the pole could be reached by sledges
drawn by dogs. The first of these ex-
petitions was made from Spitzbergen
and the second from Franz Joseph
Land. The same obstacles encoun-
tered by other explorers we're met by
Mr.. Wellman, and the trials were fu-
tile, except in that they furnished the
explorer with a comprehensive knowl-
edge Of conditions both atmospheric
and by land and water, 1t wa this
fund Of information that suggested
the methods to be employed in the
forthcoming effort.
Before it was decided to put the
Wellman airship into execution it's

records of actual wind movements in

preliminary fights or trials at Danes

starts to the pole will be a weil-be-

winds is largely n]eutralized by the &C
ton Of the dragging anchor or re,

In other words, all Of the value OF
favorable winds Is placed on the credit

a part Of the value Of the ~unfay0rable
winds has to be written down on the
debit side.
And the significance Of this. in the
last analysis, is that it will require a
most extraordinary combination of
circumstances to prevent us gettiDe
more help than hindrance from the

The expedition is distinctly Ameri.

foreign countries have given in the
preparations, and for the deep interest
they are taking in the project. It ia an

American newspaper, to whom credit

The arctic basin and this study revealed
some astonishing and encouraging in
dications for the success Of the airship
plan. Besides studying the climatic
records of the arctic basin, a careful

There was no contention on the part
Of Mr.. Wellman that the problem Of

gued that reaching the pole by airship
did not require the solution of this
problem, because such a venture did
not call for a high rate Of speed. For
the actual needs of such an expedition
Mr.. Wellman contended that the art
of aerial navigation had been amply
developed.
