sleet, ice-all these and everything be-
side; the ethics of gas the personality
of a balloon changes of temperature,
contraction and expansion of gas, static
electricity, aerial stores of electricity;
rising and falling of thermometers and
barometers-these and more questions
were studied by him many years
since to complete solution. Whims,
idiosyncrasies and spells" Of air are
as familiar to him as are those of
water to the sailor over seas, Will any
kind, style, shape, type or size of aero
plane carry ten tons weight from New
York to Liverpool?
The professors typo of ship can and
will. His biplane's plans, drawn more
than half Il century ago, present spec
ifications of steam motors, very nearly
like those now run by gasoline or alco-
hol. Could the distinguished aeronauts
now at Dominguiz take time to study
these wonderful conceptions they would
be astonished. They would doubtless

Will any aeroplane ever reach the
poles of the earth and return? The
Lowe ship is able, and 1t will go and
also come back. Not only the entire
transportation problem of the world
will be solved by the Lowe ship; but
the sciences of meteorology, atmosphere,
electricity, terrestrial magnetism, hy-
grometry, thermometry and kindred
studies. He says the gas chamber once
filled will remain filled and at efficiency
during year, even.
He can sail around the earth once a
month, twelve tourists excursions in
one year. And his ships are destined
to do it. Three cars are suspended
from the Lowe airship. One for scien-
tific instruments, these all modern
| automatic recorders of moisture, tenn
perature, sunshine, air pressure; wind
speeds, directions of currents, static
electric, potential and all other things
in air. Explorations of the polar re-
gions, unknown areas of the earth,
Sumatra, Borneo, Sahara, Siberia, Aus
tralia, and all others can easily be ex-
plored and mapped, and millions of
passengers be carried in comfort, ease,
satisfaction and safety. Mans career,
habits, customs and civilization can and
will be changed by the good professor S
great airships. Prof. Lowe saved the
Union, founded the science of aeronau-
tics, started a general advance years
ago throughout all Southern California,
builded the great inclined railway, up
here to this summit and onward over
mountains to Alpine-to the foot of the
great mountain named in his honor.
He founded this great astronomical OBJ
servatory, and mounted the telescope
on it's heavy pier of stone. And he de-
vised the best water gas system in the
world.
No "Throne" on the Grandstand
They had a chair covered with costly
robes-an empty chair-at the naval
banquet in Los Angeles. 1t was for
absent Admiral Evans. But no seat
covered with robes on the grandstand
in Dominguez in honor of Thaddeus S.
c. Lowe, the founder of American
aeoranautical science and the benefac-
tor OF Southern California. And this
startling inattention and neglect at his
home. The promoters of this success
full aviation meet certainly are not un-
just; nor withhold honors due to a
great citizen of California. This cour-
tesy, this recognition must have been
overlooked or forgotten, surely. Not
intentional. At all events, the coming
historian cannot fail to stumble upon
this unhappy and deplorable thing
With youthful eyes the distinguished
professor looked from the sky upon ter
rife scenes of running to and fro of
armies in deadly conflict, in the Civil
War.
End Of Hateful War
Can it be that the beloved Prof. Lowe
will live to see the nations of the earth
obey reason and stop the appalling
horrors of war?
His airships positively will be able to
prevent war. No bloody maker and
fomentor of war would dare to begin a
conflict in the face of annihilation of
armies and navies. Let congress pay
him one million due, and let him in
vest it all in ships of peace, not of
senseIess war. Let the aviation people
also give him a huge sum with which
to build his long contemplated air.
ships. The only way to surpass the
Lowe ships is to cut electric power out
of space as YOU fly, as they are said to
have done over in the sunken continent,
Atlantis, now under the waves of the
sea in between Europe and Central
America. I have plans and drawings
of these most wonderful ships Power
did not cost the good Atlantides any
thing There is more power in existence
than all else besides. Go to, take it,
it is free, and sell tickets from Los
Angeles to New York for 81. Prof.
Lowe is rushing his new and fascinat-
ing book to completion. This volume
will at once attract the attention of
the entire scientific world See this
fact: One of the greatest scientists now
living is here in Los Angeles. Let him
have a seat Of honor on the grandstand.
When he comes let the $4,000 people rise
and saulte. Let these things be.
