An AeropTane of 1894.

In the window of booksellers shop
in Shaftesbury avenue, London. may
be seen colored print of an airship
which in many respects resembles the
machine with which Wilbur Wright
has made such wonderful progress in
aerial navigation. The drawing, which
was published by Alderman, in 1S43,
was dedicated to the directors Of the
Aerial Transit Company. 1t shows the
Ariel in full fight over green fields,
with groups of nicely dressed specta-
tors gazing up at the wonderful sight.
In the distance lies London. with the
dome of St. Paul's rising above the
smoke of the great city. The machine
is represented as of considerable size,
with hull like that of ship. Over
head is stretched huge spread Of can
vas, arranged so as to form horizon
tai plane set at right angles to the line
of flight In the rear are two big fans,
worked apparently by steam power,
and tail rudder, while atop of all the
red ensign flies stif11y out to signify
the triumph of British invention as
we'll as the rapid pace at which the
patentees hoped their airship would
travel Small wheels for starting and
landing were also included in the
scheme. The whole design is sUlR:
ingly similar in conception TO the less
ambitious and more successful airshp
OF 1908 Since then box planes have
come into use, and the petrol motor
has decreased weight and increased
power at the same time. But that re-
cent experimenters should have adopt
ed a plan so closely resembling tna'
of the Ariel which never realized us
inventors hopes, makes one wonder
what he would have accomplished Oh
a more tentative and humble scale
with an Antoinette motor and the ADD
ed experience of two generations
