Plant at Fort Omaha.
In anticipation of the governments
taking up the subject of aeronautics
| on scale commensurate with its
importance complete plant has been
constructed at the signal corps post
at Fort Omaha. Neb. This plant COM
prises steel balloon house 200 feet
long and large enough to house a
dirigible the size of the new French
military airship known as La Repub-
liQue. An electrolytic plant has been
installed capable of furnishing 1900
cubic feet of gas an hour. Various
other appliances have also been
added, but unfortunately the corps has
no balloon to operate at the plant.
There Is, however, some doubt as to
the wisdom displayed in erecting this
plant at Fort Omaha, owing to the
disadvantage caused by the prairie
winds at times. All things considered,
the most Of the experimental work in
aeronautics conducted by the army
for the present will be at Fort Myer,
where the conditions are good both
for experiments with dirigibles and
with aeroplanes.
Compared to the progress with
dirigibles which has been made in
Germany, France and England. the
United States is practically at a
standstill in this rapidly advancing

coming summer. During the past

rush was made to get renewed char
ter through the Delaware Legislature
before Wednesday night OF this week
The Legislature. however. declined to
grant perpetual charter. substituting
a bill which grants a charter for two
years. This action on the part OF the
Legislature was due TO its desire to
consider the Colleges relation to the
State more carefully. Members of the
State Senate said there was some dis.
satisfaction liz connection with the
present status and management of
the College. and thought some things
there needed adjustment. DR.. Mar
