Flying Machines.

From the New York Word
Count Zeppelin's airship was the only
one Of its class. It represented the Ger
man idea Of an air-naviEable machine to
be used in time Of war OF all the flying
machines the Zeppelin ship best answered
this purpose Another viii speedily be

storm. There are two general types OK
airships-those which are buoyant by con-
struction and those WHICH are kept above
ground only through The iuse of power
The first class necessarily includes bal
looms. whose use makes the specific grav-
ity OF the whole airship less than that Of
the air. by reason Of which 2 balloon air
ship floats IN the air as boat floats on
water. The other type, to which the
Farman machine exhibited at Brighton
Beach. belongs. is dependent for its buoy
ancy wholly on mechanical means and
not on specific gravity The Wright ma
chimes. which were developed in Ohio and
have recently been offered for sale in
France. belong to the second class. in that
buOyaucy depends on mechanical means.
The Zeppelin airship differed from the
many Inventions relying on balloons for
their buoyancy IN that IL was a metal
structure made of aluminium which con-
tanned a series Of balloons, and was 50
devised as to give partial protection
against rife shots or explosives. Even II
