THE dirigible balloon is here to

cess has only begun to appear, and
greater triumphs will be seen within
short time. There can no longer be
any doubt that the worst problems of
air navigation have been solved. and
the time is almost upon us when the
airship will be practical necessity.
A. NJ. Herring, whose, interest lies
more in the aeroplane type of machine,
said: .s5..t,'} ,'tI : ~. @'t''A.!1
'The dirigible balloon and the aero
plane will certainly be developed side
by side for practical purposes. Both
will be the war airships of the future.
The dirigible., which will naturally be
much the larger of the two, will repre-
sent the battleship Of the ocean. carry

stores and supplies, while the aeroplanc
will represent the torpedo and scouting
boats"
At the coming tests in August at
Fort Myer the government will test
the Wright brothers machine and the
one that Mr. Herring is building.
While he was naturally guarded in
giving any linking of the new ideas to
be brought cut In his machine, Mr.
Herring did say that he could fly with
one man with machine only fourteen
feet in length, while it would be pos
sible to carry three, men on a twenty

Tom Watson is cutting a sorry figure among
the white men of this country. His bright intel
lect, his indomitable will and untiring energy
marked him for il conspicuous place among his fell
lows at an early age, but his mate sefshness and
towering ambition has led him into error after er-
Tor from the day he quit the party that put him in
to congress until he has not only lost all opportun
ity for political preferment but he has lost out in
the confidence of the people He has a following
in Georgia, blind, butt headed and rampant obv
ious to every thing else but Watsons will, but his
following is growing beautifully less and the poti
cal Profit Will be dislusionized at the November
election. Our guess is he will, after that date,
turn his attention to writing books, at which he is
fairly successful, environed by neighbors who de-
spise his name and spitefuy resent his appearance
