The Fighting Air Ship.

1t is said that Lewis Nixon, the ex-
pert engineer and shipbuilder, Is about
to build the first real air warship in
this country. 1t will be TOO feet long
with a diameter Of 80 feet, and pas
senger room for 100 men. It will
carry a number of guns. Mr.. Nixon
says. all the details have been carefully
worked out and he is confident of the
success of the ship. While Mr.. Nixon
Is an engineer of the highest ability,
we respectfully doubt the practieability
of such a machine. An airship 700
feet long and 80 feet wide would be an
enormous bulk to tote around with an
army, and if the gas were carried in
steel cylinders, it would take a train
as long as that for the artillery of a
corps to initiate it. An airship that
large would be a fine mark for the
enemy's trained rifle shots, and a
bullet hole, to say nothing of a shell,
thru the silken bag would be its ruin.
would have to be near the earth, where
it would be a fair mark for the enc
my's rifle cannon. At most, it could
carry only very light guns, and these,
as we all know, can do q great deal
of shooting without much damage. We
imagine that Mr.. Nixon's air warship
will be about as useless as was Ross
Winans's steel gun, of which such great
expectations were entertained by the
Conferedates at the beginning Of the
war. Mr.. Winans was an engineer 0e as
much reputation as Mr.. Nixon is, which
shows that even experts can be densely
ignorant of the real conditions of war.
