tirships and War.

Eighty years ago TennysOn wrote
in the central blue and even the
poet, in prophecy of aerial battle
ships, placed the time of their build

could see" No such attleships have
yet been constructed. but the art of
building directable balloons has made
such progress that they do not seem
SO Enthusiastically impossible as a few
years ago. ViceAdmiral Sir Charles
Campbell of the British navy re-
marked in the spring of 1906 that air
fleets might eventually displace water

On October 81 there was an interna

now SO evident that war experts are

Up in the Air,

With the increase in balooning
have to be guarded against as fully as
any other that comes up with a new
method of transportation. The owner
of building has a right to the air
above and the earth beneath his pos
session, and if an aerial ship fingers
over his habitation or his business
block it is apparently guilty of tres
pass, and this may bring its navigator
into the courts to pay the penalty for
his invasion. If he throws out ballast
and Injuries property there is just as
much reason why he should be sued
for damages as if he had committed
the act on terra firma He might top
pie over Il chimney and cause loss of
life, and he might do many other
things that would cause serious dam
age during his flight through the air.
Unfortunately. says Boston Budget, it
would not always be easy to identify
the reckless navigator of the windy
way. He would be good deal like
the unprincipled automobilist who,
after causing a fatal or other acci.
dent, seeks safety from prosecution in
flight. Fresh inventions are seldom
an unmiXed blessing, and We cannot
even rise heavenward without being
reminded that there are people below
us that need to be protected.
