Be Best on Record.

Constance. Sept 24-Count Ferdinand Yep

is declared to be the most successful aerial voy-
age thus far accomplished in any dlrigible ball
loon He spent four hours and seventeen min
utes in the air. completely circumnavigating the
Lake of Constance and passingi over five diff
ferent states.
The speed Of the airship is estimated to have
been at least thirty-eight miles hour. When
both motors were in operation it easily outdis-
tanced the numerous steamers. laden with OBJ
servers. that followed on the lake.
Count Zeppelin who is sxty-nine years old,
was in command OF the airshp which bears his
name He had with him two assistants and
crew of seven men to run the motors.
The airship executed the most diverse evolu-
tions possible with the greatest ease. It sailed
back and forth before the windows of the royal
castle at Friedrichshafen. making the turns on
a small radius and coming down the homeward
stretch Il ascended or descended at the will of
the pilot at times almost dipping into the
water and then rising TO a height Of six hun
dred feet
The balloon used to-day is a rigid frame
420 feet long over all. 1t holds 1000 cubic
metres Of gas.
