Edison and the Airship.

Judging from Mr. Edison's recent
birthday manifesto his friends should
labor with him earnestly on the sub
ject of airships. To those who have
faith in the unimpaired powers of the
modern wizard and take no stock in
the notion that he has shot his bolt
as a worker of marvels it would ap-
pear that all that is needed to insure
the speedy advent of the long dream
cd of era of aerial travel is to con-
vince Mr.. Edison of the utility of
starting it. Mr.. Edison was 60 years
old recently In the course of some
occasional remarks on his own career
and his plans for the future he Incl
dentally expressed his belief that in
time we shall have airships sailing
so feet or so above ground along the
lines of our roads, avoiding conflicts
in the air in this way. IF" added the
inventor musingly, Il could convince
myself that the airship would prove
useful, | would have try at it my
not yet struck II as an inventor, GER
tainly should have try at it." There
should be no doubt whatever of the
varied utility of the arrival of the
dirigible airship as a fashionable and
practical means of pleasure and loco
motion, For instance, suggests the
Milwaukee Sentinel, the advent of
real airship craze must at once elm
mate from automobiling Ito the great
advantage of the sport, the trade, and
the innocent bystanders) that danger
Gus class of scorchers and feather
brains generally, who would eagerly
betake themselves to the new fad as
something particularly novel, exclu-
sive and spectacular. BY transfer
ring their breakneck operations from
the public highways to the ambient
air great source of vexation and
peril would be removed. Let Mr..
Edison go ahead, and make some
amends for the musical phonograph.
