Profit by French Accident.


 The accident which sent a French dirigible tumbling out of the air. kill ing its entire crew, happened because of a splintered propeller. A flying wedge of wood. hurled upward, tore a long rent through the gas envelope. Vaniman noted that accident also, and when he was choosing propellors for the America he chose a model com posed of finely joined layers of wood. selected for the perfection of their grains, and alternating between two different kinds, French walnut and French mahogany.
 Then, to add still more certainty of escape from harm from that source, strong linen envelope was woven to fit the whole blade, the envelope being slipped on like a glove and then glued down, the glue being forced through the cloth after its adjustment by com pressed air.
 The explosion of gas bags in the air has been constant source of trouble to balloonists, both of the dirigible and drifting kinds. Wellman made a special study of envelope materials.
 He refused to follow Zeppelin in the use of an aluminium casing over in- terior balloons, because he said it gave an initial weight which cut very seri- ously into the net lifting power. The ordinary balloon cloth of rubber and silk allowed too much filtration of gas for anything like transatlantic cruise. Wellman tried two layers of rubber and one of cotton and one of silk. F1- nally his perfected material, in use on the America. is, so he asserted be- fore sailing, at once the lightest and the most air tight covering in use any where in the world, giving him twice the net lifting force, with half the pal loon area of any of the Zeppelin lGod- els

narrow range of altitude and to avoid the necessity of letting gas out of the bag when the heat of the midday sun would carry 1t to too great height.
 This device was Vaniman's. and it was his idea in filling the iron tanks of the equilibrator with gasoline that as the buoyancy of the airship grew less the tanks could be hauled up and their contents used In the motors, thus gradually lessening the weight to be carried. The equilibra- tor was one of the chief problems of the venture, and 1t was not surprising that it made trouble. With the tail of the equilibrator dragging over the tops of the waves at a speed of twenty five miles an hour it would not be safe to run the engines of the airship and thus increase its jerking"
 Polar Ship Used.
 The America is the same airship that failed in its polar trips in 1907 and 1909, but considerably enlarged. It is second in size to the largest Zep- pelin. It is 228 feet over all in length. with an extreme diameter of 52 feet. The gas bag volume is 345,OOO cubic 1 feet, giving total lifting capacity of slightly more than 24,OOO pounds-more than twelve tons. The nacelle, or car in which the crew. instruments, motor 1 and supplies are carried, Is 156 feet long and weighs 4.500 pounds. It is made of steel tubing, steel cross mem bers and steel guy wires. Steel cables having a tensile strength of 3O.000 pounds hold 1t in place. with complete steel suspension from the balloon prop | CT.
 | The gas bag itself is made of three layers of cotton and silk impregnated with three layers of rubber and weighs another 4.50O pounds. Three gasoline motors-one of 80. one of POO and an other small one of but 10 horsepower other machinery. instruments for nau- tical and astronomical observations. lifeboat, wireless apparatus, repair materials, tools. food and water SUD- plies for six men for thirty days and the crew of six men add another 5000 pounds to the weight which the hydro gen bag will have to support. Four teen thousand pounds of the lifting l capacity of the balloon are thus uti- llzed, leaving about 10000 pounds of | gasoline and lubricating oil.

UTILIZED IN <
 EUROPEAN COAST.

Wnlcn the America Is equipped only two are intended for propelling puT- poses. One of these is a four cylinder, 70-So horsepower, heavy duty engine on which the brunt of propulsion oth- CT than that afforded by taking ad- vantage of the winds. if they are east erly in direction. will fall.
 One Motor In Reserve.
 An eight cylinder 200 horsepower motor is held ill reserve, not to be used unless the smaller engine Is un- able to cope with the head resistance that may be occasioned by adverse or baff1ing breezes. Then there Is an auxiliary ten horsepower motor. which is intended to drive the air pump and maintain pressure within the air bag at a constant level. and to this small engine is attached a tiny dynamo in- tended to supply electric light to the car and Its passengers.
 The America is propelled by two pairs of twin laminated wood screws eleven feet in diameter, with pitch of about five and one-half feet and thrust of 7S0 pounds. Each pair Is direct-connected to the crank shaft of one of the duty motors. the forward set being turned by the 70-S0 horse power engine. A few feet aft of these propellers Is the second pair of screws, which will not be used except when occasion demands 1t. ~E h
 As 1t Is not designed to use these two sets of propellers at the same time, except under extraordinary circum- stances. the breakdown of one pair will not disable the ship. Extra crank shafts. propeller shafts and propellers are carried. and repairs or substitutes of broken parts may be made without stopping one or the other of the mo- tnrS
