twelve dogs. together with our provi-
sions and equipment Suspended from the
roof of the airship and running on light
rails is a tank containing 500 pounds of
provisions which by means of a windlass
in the navigating room can be run the
entire length of the car, so as to supply
our food whenever necessary and also
to balance the ship. The total weight of
the steel car and tank is 300 pounds.
The motors, screws and machinery
weigh $50 pounds. We carry in our tank
5000 pounds OF petrol capable of running
the motor for 1J0 hours at a normal speed
of fourteen knots per hour, giving
total radius of action from the liquid fuel
of 2100 knots The weight of the cargo
we carry diminiSheS on an average 600
pounds per day by the consumption of
petrol for the motor while the loss of
lifting power by leakage of gas through
the skin of the balloon will probably not
exceed $50 pounds per day. The net re-
suit of this is that we have on an average
day $50 pounds to 800 pounds of lifting
force no longer required and represent
just so much gas to be disposed of and
to maintain the equilibrium of the ship.
Ordinarily the surplus gas would be
allowed to escape through the valves. but
inasmuch as hydrogen has a very high
calorific power we have thought it a pity
to waste good fuel, and by actual expert
ments we have found that we can burn
the surplus hydrogen in our motor with
the result that we have further thirty
hours of motoring from waste gas. giving
hour-that is to say, we have a total Ta-
dius of action of $50 miles, or double the
distance from our base to the pole and
back again. If we can get but twO-thirds
of the value of these figures we shall still
have 30 per cent margin over our needs
for our journey from Spitzbergen to the
pole and back.
1T is our intention during our voyage
to the pole to be always in contact with
the earth by means of a guide-rope- We
shall never ascend more than 800 feet to
800 feet, and our guide-rOpe will trail over
the surface of the earth. This guide-rope
is absolutely essential to the safety of our
navigation and is of considerable weight.
Instead of employing a steel line we have
made what I call a leather serpent fiji
teen inches in diameter and 40 feet long
and weighing about 400 pounds. This is
packed full of reserve food, weighing 1200
pounds and is suspended from the air
ship by means of steel rope 1t is COW
cred with steel scales TO protect the
leather and to make the whole guide trav-
eI smoothly over ice and snow. 1t will
also float on the sea. BY means of the
enlargement of the airShip and food con-
tanned in the guide-rope we are able to
carry with us total of 1900 pounds of
food or enough to enable the crew of the
airship to subsist on its own stores for
period of ten months without having re-
course to game or outside supplies.

A FOOL CONSTABLE.

A dispatch from Frederick, Okla. to
the Chicago Record says:
1.-The failure of Constable Billy
Morgan of Lawton to have available
the required amount of money with
which to purchase a ticket for a pris-
oner resulted I'm a conductor stopping
a Frisco train ten miles from Fred
erick and ejecting the prisoner. The
constable was returning from Freder-
lex on the return portion of a round
trip ticket. The prisoner, charged with
forgery, after he had been pu. off the
train, waved his hat and shouted the
praises of the railroad company. The
train sped onward and the prisoner is
still at large"
The forger certainly ought to give
thanks for the new railroad rate law
under which conductors render them
selves liable to a fine and Imprisonment
if they transport a passenger who has
no ticket or its equivalent. At the
same time we foresee an interesting
half hour for the constable when he
attempts to make an explanation to
the court. The judge is likely to ask
him at least one searching question
1t will be as to why he didn't get off
the train with his prisoner.
But perhaps the constable was in a
hurry 10 get home to his dinner or
something else much more important
than securing a prisoner. The consta-
BILE need not despair. however. If he
loses his job in Oklahoma. and the
chances are decidedly that he will. he
can come out to Salt Lake and get a
place on our police force

The eEokeIA DISASTER.

More men were killed in the disaster
on the battleship Georgia Monday
morning in Cape Cod bay than were
lost in the navy during the war with
Spain. Eight, including one lieuten-
ant and one midshipman, were killed
almost instantly. Thirteen others, one
of them a midshipman, were so seri-
ously injured that several of them will
almost certainly die. A case of pow
der caught fire from a spark, and the
resultant fumes and flames caused the
fatalities and casualties There is no
way of knowing where the spark came
from. 1t might have come from the
gun that was being used in target
practice, it might have foated into the
turret from one of the battleship's
smOkestacks.
Peace seems TO have greater dangers
than war in our navy. Hardly a year
passes without one or more disasters
at target practice. The naval officials
thought they had, through previous
catastrophes. made it impossible for
more to occur. They have found that
they were mistaken. The men on a
big battleship are and apparently al
ways will be in danger of death or Sc
rious injury while they are handling
their guns. The really reparkable
thing is that there are not more acct
dents
To some it may appear that the kill
ing of the men on the Georgia was un-
necessary. If an inquiry should show
that there was carelessness anywhere
it will be time enough to say the dis
aster was unnecessary. That it was a
great tragedy Will be denied by no one
but it is just as necessary to have tar
get practice i'm the navy as TO have
the simplest kind of drills. The great
efficiency of our navy during the war
with Spain was due to the target prac-
tice in which it had been engaged for
some months prior to the conflict. To
the poor craftsmanship of the Russian
gunners, as much as to their mutinous
state of mind, Russia owes the annihi-
latiOn of her fleets by Japan.
American gunners are the finest
marksmen in the world, and they are
the finest because they have plenty of
practice. The men who died in the
Georgia disaster died for their country
as surely as though they had fallen in
battle with a hostile nation. This fact
should be remembered in any comment
upon this event that has cast a gloom
over the navy. Their sacrifice should
lead to a renewal of the efforts to
make target practice safe, but it should
not by any means lead to an abandon
ment or even a temporary cessation of
the practice.

ONE HAT WAS ENOUGH.
cleveland Plain Dealer.)


The head of a city department when
he would take a look over the desks in
his main Office, always singled out one
in the charge of a young man who at
tended strictly to business. His hat
was always on top of his desk, and
even if the man was not there the
presence of the headgear was evidence
that he had stepped out for only a
moment. The owner of the hat stood
high in the managers good opinion.
One day the manager asked another
clerk, Where is Mr.. Blank?"
