the Fort Myer experimental station he
will make up for lost time.
The Baldwin aerial craft which will be
the first to appear i'm this aN-summer
meet is awaited with especial interest
for the reason that there is no question
but what it will successfully navigate the
air. The heavier airships are, in all
cases. unknown quantities, and conse-
quently there is some uncertainty as to
what may be expected of them. but Capt.
Baldwin has been constructing his
"dirigibles' for years past and success
fully operated such craft at the st. Louis
and Portland expeditions Meanwhile he
has gone on improving and perfecting his
invention, and the question now Is what
will the balloon squad of the United States
Signal. Corps be able to accomplish with
the latest product of Capt. Baldwin's In
genuity.
Capt Baldwin has built upward of two
dozen different dirigible balloons. not one
of which has proven failure, and he has
already expressed confidence that the one
he is to build for the United States gov
eminent will be infinitely superior to all
its predecessors. The gradual evolution
of the dirigible balloon under Capt. Bald
wins manipulation has been a most in
teresting transformation The ''dirigible."
It need scarcely be explained. differs from
the ordinary balloon in that 1t is pro-
PEELED somewhat after the fashion of a
steamship and may be steered in any
direction desired, instead of being wholly
at the mercy of the winds, as is the old
style balloon. The form of the gas bag
is also different. Instead Of the familiar
pear shaped envelope for holding the gas
the dirigihle has an oblong. cigar-shaped
receptacle, and instead of the basket that
is supported by the ordinary balloon
there is suspended -lvom the gas bag OF
the dirigible long frame which carries
the propeller, rudder and other mechanism
of the comfortable balloon.

One of the fundamental principles fol-

bags (whatever the size) on the principle
of three to one-that is, the bag Is three

allowing minimum surface with maximum

When my wayward boy came back
From his reckless roaming,
With his plumage ruth and wrack,
Like spent bird homing.
First l looked, and then l smiled,
Then We clung together;
He was still my child, my child,
Love was still tether.
Ne'er q word, reproach l said,
Asked not what had kept him;
Only when he lay in bed
Then Tin mine) | wept him.
Weps the wounds upon him wrought
Those long years bequeathing,
Thrice that night his threshold
sought,
Watchful of his breathing.
Listening, 'twixt times afraid
Let he be some other
Thanking God, whose mercy made
Me to be his mother.
