The breeze, when Latham got away
was less than three meters a second,
but there were ominous black clouds
on the horizon and during the avi-

wind and rain broke over the aero

ship runs the story of the inventive
genius of Captain J. F. Chase, Union
army veteran, now here from his
home in Veteran City, Fla. He has
just secured patent on his airship
and it makes the forty-seventh that
the patent Office has dealt out to him
1t was just after some of his Civil
war wounds had healed that Captain
Chase embarked upon his inventive
career. A hoopskirt contribution to
feminine fashions was the first mani
festation of his creative genius. Now
Captain Chase pins his faith to the
lighter than air type of ships. He
expects to have one of his flyers COM
pleted within q year, when he will try
to sell it to the government.

Mason City, a., Aug. 2S.-A project
to reclaim $4,000 acres of land in Palo
Alto county is under consideration. It
will be done by Strengthening the
channel of the Des Moines river. The
river bed is fifty-two miles long. The
canal proposed would be twenty-six
miles long, dug to depth of eight
feet, with width of 100 feet at the
top and sixty feet at the bottom. An
estimate of the cost is $225, 900 and
the land reclaimed would have a value
of 100000 to $2,5O0,0OO and COM

Best BattIeShip
In American Navy

PHILADELPHIA, July 27.-Figures
unofficially obtained in Washington
yesterday give to the battleship Michi-
gan, now lying at the dock of the New
York Shipbuilding Company, in
Camden, the undoubted palm of being
the fastest battleship in the American
navy. This she proved during her trial
trip off the Capes of the Delaware, end
ed Sunday morning, making an average
speed of betweenu 19 and 20 knots.
1t was simply announced that the
governments requirement of an aver
age of II 1-2 knots for "a hours had
been met, and that the new sea fighter
would probably be turned over to the
navy about August Is. the interven-
ing period will be spent in cleaning up,
removing the vestiges of the work of
construction and putting on the finish
ing coat of paint.
When this has been done the Michi-
gan will be taken to the Philadelphia
Navy Yard by her builders and turn
ed over to the commandant, Admiral
Harris, and the captain of the yard
Just like" as an officer expressed it
last night "a bale of hay" Very soon
thereafter she will be put into COM
mission. This will be accompanied
by the hosting of the flag and the
usual formalities, and Admiral Harris
will hand the Michigan over to her
first commander, Captain Nathan X
Usher.
The Michigan is not by any means
the fastest battleship in the world, IL
was explained by an authority at Lea
que Island last night. The Dread
nought in a clear course has attained a
speed of "a knots, AMI II" stahdaiG
speed of her class is 81 knots. English
vessels all the way through, class Tor
class, are faster than ours, it was SAID
This is because. besides the element
of speed in d vessel, there are two
other elements to be kept in vieW-ar'
NOR and armament. To increase hel
speed a ship must have fewer guns OF
| lighter armor.

The writer points out that whereas
the ship at sea has at times TO combat
the combined fury of waves and wind,
the airship of this model would sus-
tain one less element of danger
through it's ability to change its spe-
cihc gravity at will 1t could rise
above storms near the earth or des-
cend below storms encountered high
among the clouds. OF good Mr.. Nc
Cready says that while this would de-
pend partly on varying conditions met,
"a minimum of 100 miles per hour Is
provided for, Bearing in mind the
speed actually attained by the crude
devices now on exhibition here and
abroad this estimate for scientltlc-
ally constructed airship capable of
carrying the necessary machinery does
not seem extreme. This would per-
nit a passage across the Atlantic in
one and one-half days The same rate
of speed in a continued trip-which
is well within the limits of possibility
would permit of circumnagating the
earth in ten days"
Before outlining the plan of his own
commercial airship Mr.. McCready in
his paper analysed the conditions gov
erning the types of airships and bal
looms now in use, in order to lead up
to the advantages his type has over
the present 'crude devices. After
having explained his machine, how
ever, he becomes enthusiastic THE

EX. SENATOR TELLER

THAT THE NEBRASKAN ORATOR

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. Former
United States Senator Henry Moore
Teller of Colorado, in the course of an
interview here and replying to a ques-
ton as to who will be the STANDARD
bearer for the Democrats at the next
campaign, said:

Mr.. Bryan will be candidate for

ficing either armor or armament,
gives rise to the Dreadnought class.
Every battleshp is a compromise of
the three elements, and the Michigan
is regarded as the best compromise by
the Americana Board of Construction.
The Michigan, which is of 10000 tons
displacement, is of what is known
among naval men the semi-Dread-
nought class. Her armor and arma-
ment being fully up to the standard
for her displacement, naval officers
are extremely gratified over her fine
are faster ships than the Michigan, but
the extreme of efficiency for her size.
Even in the American Navy there
are faster ships than the Michigan, but
not of the battleship class The cruis-
ers Minneapolis and Columbia can, re-
marked an officer, beat the Michigan
with one leg They have speed Of
23 knots. And the scouts, the Ches-
ter, the Birmingham and the Salem,
have made 26 knots How it impedes
ship to carry fighting implements and
defensive equipment is shown by the
fact that the Mauretania and the Lu-
sitania regularly maintain a rate, from
port to port of % knots.
Five sister battleships of the Michi'
gan are now under construction and
four heavier and speedier vessels. Two
26,00O-ton battleships have been au-
thorized by Congress. When all these
are completed America will have 50
battleships as distinguished from cruis-
ers and other lighter vessels.
Naval officers on board the Michigan

selves as highly pleased, not only with
her speed, but also with the workings
of her machinery and the ease with
which she could be Unanswered. she

OF all the various vehicles purrt or
projected for aerial transportation pur-
poses the most beguiling in idea is
put forward in the August number OF
Machinery by c. A. McCready OF 3Ol
Produce Exchange, New York. Mr.. Nc
Cready does not assume credit Tor the
structure he proposes for the conquest
of the air, but declares that the ideas
which he here propounds were Work
ed out by the late Dr. Arthur de Baus-
set. "a physician by profession and a
scientist of very high attatnments.
Mr.. McCready holds that an airshlp
can only be real success when II Is
a commercial success. His theme is
the use of a vacuum, partial or abso-
lutte. in place of the use of gas bal
loon on the one hand or of a heavier
than air machine dependent upon mo-
tive power to remain aloft on the 9th
er hand. By the proper application OF
the principle of dehatiOn-eXhausting
the air and leaving a vacuum-he says
it will be found that all of the re-
uuirements for a commercial airship,
requirements which both the balloon
and heavier than. air types now fail
in, can be met. His subjecf is "'rhe
Commercial Airship"
Let us assume he says, "a thin
steel cylinder of high tensile strength
say .01S inch, so as to permit of the
Iightest construction consistent with
safety, the diameter to be about $50
feet and Cncluding cones at either end
to facilitate passage through the air)
of an extreme length of say $50 fees
from apex to apex of the cones; the
cylinder and cones TO be supported In
ternally by a system of bracing, light
in weight but so constructed as to
prevent collapse or buclling when the
air is exhausted
OF the anticipated objection that
such a construction is impracticable
Mr. McCready says that this must be
dismissed for the present without fur
Their explanation that "the entire
system has been worked out to the
final detail and attested by engineers
.of national reputation" He says that
such body-or envelope" as the en-
gineers call it-as described would con-
tain over APO net tons of air The
weight of the cylinder with its in
ternal bracings, its attached car and
all necessary furnishings would be
roughly 27O tons net as he figures it,
leaving an extreme lifting sorce or
about $50 net tons with the air entire
ly exhausted from the cylinder, va
cuum of course being lighter than any
gas.
Leaving say fifty tons of air in the
cylinder as a reserve" he goes on,
there would still remain lifting
force of 100 net tons or 100000 pounds
the equivalent in weight of at least
| / 900 men,"
Coming down to the workings of the
ship so devised Mr.. McCready says
that when the car is loaded ready TO
be transported pumps are set to worl;
to exhaust the air from the cylinder
and when the weight of the air ex-
hausted overbalances the weight OF
the airship and it's load it will rise;
land as more air is exhausted the air
ship will rise higher until the desir-
ed height in reached, whether it be
few feet above the ground or high
above the clouds.
