The Imminent Airship.
COLORADO,

These are the days when the young
old aeronauts are dreaming dreams
Human mastery over the air" says
Capt Ferber, the aerostatic expert OF
the French army. ''is virtually
achieved. None of the startling
achievements of the past, neither
steam. electricity, nor the telephone
can compare with what the future
now holds in store for us. Not only
will the life of individuals be revolu
Gonized. but governments will be
compelled to devise, in almost every
department, new methods to meet the
changed conditions. This change
will come with amazing suddenness,
and France is taking the precaution
to meet it." In this last sentence,
says the New York Post, Capt. Ferber
doubtless refers in part to the pur-
chase by his government of the fly
ing machine built by the Wright bro
theirs of Dayton, O., and still credited,
altuOuSH luelT uelnOuSlldtlou NdS DC
cret, with the only sustained flight
ever made by machine not sus.
tanned by gas bags. But he evidently
has no notion that one inventor or
one country will monopolize the de-
vices for successful flight. AS soon as
one man comes into the open with a
machine with which he can sail about
practically at WILL a dozen others will
promptly learn the trick. To-day the
world is waiting to learn the art of
balancing. 1t may come, as Capt.
Ferber expects, by "a coordinating
central mechanism which will permit
the operator, with an instructive
touch of the helm. to right his ma
chine when it dips to one side or the
other, as the bicyclist to-day main
tains his equilibrium by the instinct
Ave inclination of his body" On the
other hand, the mere human hand
and eye may attain that quickness
and dexterity which Lilienthal and
Pitcher lost their lives trying to ac-
quire, but which will make possible
navigation through atmospheric cur
rents and blow holes and whirl-
pools. The everyday airship trip, at
best, is likely to be as hard on the
pilot as a run through the Lachine
rapids.

There is a wild rumor to the effect
that the concertina is to be revived.
The concertina was at one time re-
garded as musical instrument by
certain eccentric persons who pro.
fessed to enjoy it's alleged tones: II
was even supposed to give pleasure
when played by those who understood
its painful limitations, says Cleveland
Plain Dealer. The concertina is an
instrument that is unimpressed by
kind treatment either going or com.
ing. When it is expanded it queru.
lously walls; when it is contracted 1t
plaintively means. When the concer.
tina is violently agitated it gasps and
wheezes. Sometimes it snorts. Just
why it should be revived isn't at all
clear. 1t can't be expected to cope
with either the automatic piano player
Or the talking machine.
