ton the efficiency of the airship in
times of war was demonstrated in the
bomb dropping contests in which
batleshipS, marked out on the ground
were made target for the man birds
The further adaptability of the aero to
the uses of war was shown at Norfolk
when Ely made the worlds first flight
from the deck of battleship and
landed safely some miles distant, thus
demonstrating the possibility of scout
air ships for the navy.

English experimenter, successfully
demonstrated his car carrying from 20
to 40 passengers al a speed of 20 miles,
on monoraiI around sharp curves
He also showed the practicability Of

Unstable at almost any angle while at

in the perfecting of the suspended rail-
ways of Germany is also to be noted,
as well as very material progress in the
storage battery street car. In this lat

successful experiments with his storage
battery car not only in East Orange,

line handling large amount of traffic
His battery car was found to be-
economical in operation and admirably
adapted to urban passenger service.
