awarded a contract for the first Ameri-
can government airship to Captain
Thomas L. Baldwin.
No easy task indeed was imposed by
the conditions. any more than in the
case of the aeroplane contracts. A
speed minimum required of 20 miles an
hour for balloon just large enough to
lift two men (for construction on the
European scale there were not funds
enough, although the two most de-
sirable qualities in an airship, speed
and endurance, are principally func-
tion OF size) would tax the resources Of
the most skillful inventor. Baldwin,
who had not been satisfied during the
five years following the first practical
application of his design for exhibition
purposes unless each succeeding sea-
son found him with a new and better
equipment, was equal to rising to this
occasion as well. He planned improve
ments which would not change any of
the essential features, but which would
eventually result in increased speed
and also embody all the achievements
of modern European aeronautic science
in his American design.

Framing and gas bag are almost in
equally close relation to each other.
With length of 96 feet for the latter,
the former extends over S4 feet, and the
two are separated by only four feet dis
tance, bringing the load almost fully
as much up to the center of support as
Zeppelin's cars, an excellent stabilizing
feature The shape of the bag resem-
bles that of Zeppelin's hull. There is
the same long cylindrical part with two
pointed ends. The diameter of that
cylinder is, indeed, 10 feet in front and
two feet less in the rear, resembling
French designs in this feature. which,
according to the careful measurements
of Professor zahm in Washington, ia

cult to stabilize. Baldwin seems, how
ever. to have just struck a happy me-
dunn. There is a fine strong netting,
which not only increases the rigidity

can craft that he spoke of them as
his most enjoyable aeronautic expert
ence in this country" He was sur
prised at their unexpected speed and
their maneuvering capacity.
To the scientific observer the fact to
become first apparent seemed that all
of the ships in the st. Louis race be-
longed to the same type. At the first
glance they seemed, indeed, to re-
semble the craft with which Santos
Dumont had many years ago first
demonstrated the possibilities of "air
motoring to the public at large. On
and ingenious differences were discov-
cred which led naturally to the ques-
tion as to the origin of this distinctly
American species. 1t would then be
found that all of these balloons were
limitations of one certain type Of air
ship, which made it's first appearance
as the only successful competitor for
the aeronautica1 prizes that had been
offered by the worlds fair at ST. Louis.
1t made there many flights under good
control and was called by its designer,
Captain Thomas s. Baldwin, a profess
sional aeronaut of large fame, the
California Arrow. Though provided
with motor of quite moderate power
it seemed to obey the will of its pilot
TO perfection.
\ matter OF fact, it really repre-
~ sented great progress over
Santos -Dumont's design, at that time
considered the best. The gas bag was
stouter and shorter and the frame
larger. The gas bag was inclosed in
a very fine netting and the propeller
placed in front. There was no basket
for the operator, who instead rode
astride on the bare frame. The most
notable difference was. however, plac-
ing tho long frame very close to the
gas bag. 1t takes all the science of

NEW YORK, Oct. 17-Any person
entertaining the idea that Canvas

that will soon die out is in error. This
is shown by the number of large New

vaudeville, burlesque and melodrama,
Which have been transformed into

city of the land an opportunity to dis
play their ability.
For thei young person from the
country who has gained an expert
knowledge in some particular line,
New York often offers fulfillment of
the fondest hopes. As rule en-
ployers prefer boys and girls from the
country and small towns, as they are
usually moro anxious to succeed and
less susceptible to the dissipation that
skaters the energy of the city youth.
The young man of ability who has
a capacity for hard work has no reason
to fear New York. The born and bred
metropolitan youth may be able, to put
up a better front, and for time
may laugh at his country cousin. 1t
will only be a matter of few years
until his spirit will be chastened and
he will be tanely eating out of the
hand of a boss" who came to New
York from Oshkosh or Podunk.
There, is a pathetic side to this an
nual autumnal invasion, however. The
boy or girl who arrives in New York
with little money and no friends or in
f1uence and expects to make a liv
ing by working in the stores or fac
tories, will have hard row to hoe"
and they had much better remain at
home. There are always a thousand
vacancies for the man or woman who
can do something little better than
anyone else, but for the unframed and
mediocre New York has few induce
ments to offer. Many a. homeless, un
kempt man who come to the city a few
years ago, with hope of conquest
beating high in his heart, now sleeps
in city hall park and hits the bread
line" for his daily food.
The unframed girl from the coun-
try has an even harder time. The
great department stores prefer the
home grown product for theiI, shop
girls, since the city girl is usually
quicker to learn, knows more of the
ways and wants of the city folk who
constitute the great mass of shoppers
and, more important is willing to ac-
cept a smaller wage. The city girl,
living at home, can get along on a sum
that would mean starvation for the

Stop Skyscraping.

New York is Unfortunately proud of
it's SkyscraperS. The Metropolitan
Life building, which is 675 feet ir
height. and the Singer building which
projects into the atmosphere 612 feet,
are looked upon as architectural
achievements which will soon be sur
passed. In the brain of every New
Yorker is a. vision of the future, when
the skyline will show ir-piercing
structures which will make the
highest edifices of the present appear
pigmy-like. Vain dream. The Building
Code Revision committee has set its
foot down on the sky-scrapers, met
aphorically speaking. and if it's recon-
mendations are adopted. the Singer
and Metropolitan Life buildings will be
the last of their kind. Three hundred
and fifty feet is quite high enough for
any building, in the opinion of the
members of the committee, and then
only when the ejifices face upon q
park, squire or plaza.
If the board of aldermen acts fav-
orably upon this Recommendation. the
sky scrapar is apparently doomed.
