STRONGER AND BETTER SHIP
TO REPLACE RUINED CRAFT

Echterdingen, Aug. Ga visit to
the spot whore the Zeppelin airship
only two days ago the master of the
air now lies a hopeless wreck, would
have a saddening and depressing cI-
feet upon any one who had witnessed
the majestic flight of what was once
the most perfect balloon yet con-
structed
only a narrow streak of burned
grass marks the spot where the air
ship made its descent yesterday morn
ing. Some of the delicate and COM
pIicated machinery seems to be still
perfectly good and even the instru-
mcnts for the taking of Photographic
views during flights escaped dcstruc-
ton in the explosion. The ground.
however, is Uttered with remnants Of
half burned balloon cloth and splint-
ers of wood and aluminium.
Close by is the trunk of a tree split
to the roots. TO this the airship was
tied when the catastrophe occurred.
only one Of the machinists who wit
messed the explosion yesterday could
be found at the g today. He said
the disaster was ineXplainablc Neither
motor was working at the time and
there was neither light nor fro any
where near the balloon.
II Is assumed that the strong con
cussion to which the airship was sub
icctcd by the whirlwind caused the
self ignition of the hydrogen gas.
Some Of the eye w%itn"sscs are in
clined to blame the military authori-
ties for the loss OF the ship. 1t seems
that when the whirlwind came sweep
ing over the field hundreds of people
rushed on the cOrdons of soldiers
prompted by the desire to hold the
Hirship to the ground by the guy rope
bit the officers gave orders that the
be driven back and not per-
to approach. A few minutes
letter the huge body struck the ground
with fun force and the explosion oc-

FEMALE LEOPARD IS
SLAIN IN FIGHT WITH
CAGE MATE IN PARK

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-"Nigger," a
black female leopard, has been killed
by her cage mate. THE Devil" after q
desperate battle in the lion house of
the Bronx zoo. Hundreds of persons.
including women and children, watched
the combat. The keepers made vigor-
Gus efforts to separate the lighters, but
could do nothing with them.
For week or more the couple had
not been on good terms, and Nigger
carefully kept to the corner of the cage,
avoiding her angry spouse.
Then, when the lion house was
crowded with the visitors. the female
leopard ambled across the cage to
where her mate lay and began to
scratch her back against the bars. The
Devil instantly resented this by lifting
one of his paws and knocking her down.
There was no further attempt at friend-
liness by Nigger. She leaped at him
and they rolled over the floor of the
cage, clawing and snarling. The clamor
aroused the other animals and the roar
of the lions and tigers were soon shak-
ing the building. For nearly twenty
minutes the battle continued. Then
the Devil, by deft flank movement,
sank his fangs into Nigger's throat and
a minute later she fell dead.
