The flight last August of this remarkable creation of the German seien- tist over the mountains of the German Swiss frontier, heralded around the world, awoke that self-same world to the possibilities of airships of this kind. Even the wreck of the Zeppelin ". meant nothing as concerns the merits of the machine, for the storm did most of the damage through the leakage of gas mingled with the air inside the alumi- mum. This mixture made a strong and powerful explosive, only ready for spark of any kind to bring about the wreck Had the Zeppelin been flying in the air at the time she might easily have been saved, for to airships air means safety, just as water of great depth does to steamships. which in shallow water are lost.

Count Zeppelin had telegraphed for more cylinders, and was waiting for them when a small cyclone arose, which dashed the airship, held by soldiers. to the ground and destroyed 1t in conjunction with the explosions which came immediately afterward.
