Norfolk, Va, Dec. 1.-The first
ships that came to these American
shores on which the English language
was spoken by every passenger, and
the crew as well. were the Godspeed
the Susan Constant and the Discov-
cry. These ships bore to this country
the first colony of homeseekers from
England, and this colony was the nu-
cleus of the vast population which
now inhabits North America and
whose influence as a world power is
just now felt in every quarter of the
globe. What this influence will ulti-
mately attain to in the counsels of
empire is one of the live questions in
the chancelleries.
These colonists landed permanent
ly on our shores on the 18th of May,
1907, and selected a place to which
they gave the name of jamestown in
what is now the State of Virginia
The ter-centennary of this landing
will be appropriately observed during
six months of the year 1907, begin
ming April 26th, and ending Novem-
Der 30th. The course which these
good ships traversed from the en-
trance of the Virginia capes on
through Hampton Roads to their final
anchoring ground off jamestown will
be forever sacred waterway to the
American people. and during the con-
tinuance of the Exposition the course
of that passage will be the scene of
nautical activity and interest without
a parallel in the history of maritime
display

err velocities-stop the motors and
throw out upon the ice sheet over
which we are sailing a dragging an
chor or retardateur-a device calculat-
ed to offer the maximum of resistance
in proportion to its weight-and by
this means to drift slowly with the ad-

Assuming that this method works
out as we'll in practice as in theory
and there are many reasons for believ-
ing that 1t will do so to at least 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.
"2. But contrary winds of velocities
greater than our motor speed, or sc
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 ac
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
part of the value of the unfavorable
winds has to be written down on the
debit side.
And the significance of this, in t6s
last analysis, is that it will require a
most extraordinary combination Of
circumstances to prevent us gettine
more help than hindrance from the
winds"

foreign countries have given in the

and food supply. This last item
weighs 800 pounds and is contained in
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 it's 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 1872
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 APP
paratus.
Below the car there Is suspended a
steel lifeboat nonsinkable and noncap-
stable, but of very light weight This
boat represents the precaution against
the chance of the destruction of the
ship or it's 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 kgid system of
material inspection was maintained to
reduce to the minimum the chances of
hawed materials inadvertently being
used.
Such, in brief, is the airship in
/ which will be made the most remark
able journey 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 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.

culating the distance at 1,2OO miles,
there would be required but 100 hours

eddy had made 10 to % miles an hour
with small airships equipped with cor
respondingly small motors. The Lee

and it's average speed through long
series of flights had been above 20
miles an hour. Under all conditions in
which airship flights have been made
a speed of from IL to Is miles an hour
has been easily obtainable.

Description of Ship.

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 sleet,
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 70 horsepower, and in calm
air provides a speed of from ~ 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 81
U9S square feet, and the volume is ga
725 cubic feet. The hydrogen with
which the bag is inflated is made of

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 plane high above all
previous efforts in point Of interest
that places it in 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 1S97-9S, like those Of all other ex-
plorers, were made on the theory that
