Choir or retardateur- device calculat-
ed to offer the maximum of resistance
in proportion to its weight-and by
this means to drift slowly with the ad-
verse wind.
Assuming that this method works
out as well in practice as in theory
and there are many reasons for believ-
ing that it will do so to at least a fair
degree-we have then this principle:
Il. That the winds that blow with
our course, directly or obliquely, add
their movements to the advance which
we expect to make with our motors
and help us so much on our way

great that motoring against them
would be an uneconomical use of fuel.
are not losses to be deducted at full
value from the progress of the air
ship, because the influence of such
winds is largely neutralized by the &C.
ton of the dragging anchor or re-
tardateur.
I'm other words, all of the value of
favorable winds is placed on the credit
side of our ledger or log, while only
a part of the value of the unfavorabfe
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 getting
more help than hindrance from the
winds.''

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 were met by
Mr.. Wellman, and the trials were flu
tile, except in that they furnished the
explorer with a comprehensive knoWl-
edge of conditions both atmospheric
and by land and water. 1t was this
fund of information that suggested
the methods to be employed in the
forthcoming effort.

and food supply. This last item
weighs 500 pounds and is contained in
a chest containing 16 cubic feet. When
it is stated that this supply is suffi-
cient to nourish five men for rs days
some idea of the great economy of
space being practiced may be gained
Of course, the disposition of the weight
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 1S1a
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. nonsinkable and noncap-
sizable, 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 rigid 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 joarney in history. 1t represents
the highest degree of skill known to
the machinical 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

A general description of the airship
is as follows:
In length it is 164 feet. Its greatest
diameter is So feet. The materials of
which the bag is made are pure rubber
and silk. with the top of the bag
a perfectly smooth surface, which will
not accumulate frost, snow or sfeet,
and thereby decrease the ascensional
power. By simple device provision
has been made for the removal of snow
from the top of the ship.
The propelling power of the airship
lies in three motors. of the inner COM
bustion type and using gasoline for
fuel. The, combined horsepower of
the motors is 100 although the con-
tract called for only 75- The largest
motor is 40 horsepower, and in calm
air provides a speed of from IL to IA
miles an hour. With all motors work
ing, the ship will be driven 10 miles
an hour in Gains.
: The surface of the bag measures p.
O9S square feet, and the volume is 224.-

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
a 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 1S97-98, like those of all other ex-
plorers. were made on the theory that

sulphuric acid and iron shavings, and
165 tons of these materials. carefully
selected, were shipped to the expedi-
TONS base on Danes island. The as
occasional power of the inflated bag is
Is. 300 pounds. The weight of the ship
itself and it's 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 20 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

Mr.. WeIlmon's OUn Ve1Ds.

1t is interesting to note that in the
gossipy discussions of the venture by
men who pretend to know nothing OF
aeronautics nor the polar regions, the
two objections most often urged are
the two which caused Mr.. Wellman
and his associates in the construction
and outfitting of the ship the most per-
plexity. The manner in which he pro-
poses to overcome one of these dangers
that from fast, adverse winds-has
been explained by Mr.. Wellman, thus:
1--WE have already explained how we
hope to make progress with our air
ship by means of our motors and
screws when the winds are favorable
in direction, and also when they are
unfavorable, but not of too great We
locity. What are we going to do when
they blow adversely and also toe
strongly to permit us to advance with
the motors?
"This brings us to one of the funda-
mental features of the method which
we have adopted. 1t is this:
81. With favorable winds or unfa
vorable winds of relatively small We
locities-motor at a proper speed OF
from ten to IL geographical miles pei

! haps the mean speed.

breaks down at times and becomes ut

efficiency is great enough to make au-

industries of the country. The Well
man airship holds the same relation
to the possible high-speed airship OF
the future as the automobile in its
present stage of development does to
the possible non-breakable automobile

preliminary flights or trials at Danes
