INGENIOUS BATH BOY.
Builds Airships Which Will Be Ready
For Use in Spring.

Bath, Jan. 21.-=Bath, long. the builder
of the finest ships on the ocean may
some day be building craft for navi-
eating the air, in fact one sucn ship
is under construction in, this city and
is attracting considerable attention
from those who know that she is
building.
This ship for yachting in the azure
sky is being constructed by Walter
Cromwell who resides on Cottage Park
at the south end of the city and who
comes from a family of natural me-
chanics. Young Cromwell has long
shown that he is an ingenious youth
as those who work with him daily at
the Hyde Windlass company plant
can testify. He is very modest in his
bearing and has little to say about the
experiment he is now making. 1t
seems that for the past two or three
years he has been interested in the
subject of aerial navigation and final
ly became so deeply interested in it
that he built a small working model,
only 80 by Is inches. with clock
work for power. The little machine
performed to his satisfaction and he
continued to think out design. For
three consecutive nights he dreamed
the sare thing and in the machine
which he is now building he has car
RE out the principles which came to
him in that dream.
He already has the frame, which is
of light wooden strips, we'll along and
hopes to be able to use aluminium an
gle irons for the joints and will use
silk as Il cover for the structure. The
power is to be furnished with a gas
olenc engine While the steering will be
done by a single fan behind controlled
| by lever which will he close by the
| engine and handy for the aviator's
use. The planes are so made that their
positions can be shifted instantly and
| this shifting Of planes with changes OF
position Oh the part of the aviator will
have as much to do with changing the
course Of the machine as the regular
steering gear.
Mr. Cromwell says that he expects
to nave the queer craft. which is kite
shaped, with a long tail arrangement
to balance her. ready for use in the
early spring.
