Indeed, there seems TO be epidemic OF air
ship bugs in Brooklyn, doubtless escaped from
Mineola. Still third flying machine has recently
been patented by an imaginative man of that
town. This one stands up in his II you want to

from the ground.
A St Louis invention closely resembles d

is moved by the tapping of wings which

There is something really unique in the patent

saddle suspended below. When the machine
rises into the air he propels himself by operating
a pedal which revolves the gasbag. The fin or
vane. thus revolved bores itself through the air
like the propeller of ordinary aeroplane. This
inventor carries along sort of aerial bathing
suit with auxiliary flying attachment, whereby he
may dsport himself in the great air ocean above.
No one can gainsay the foresight OF the "inl.
provement in airships" maze by a resident OF
Hot Springs, Ark. The first claim in his patent
is that his balloon is constructed that II It

TO anxious mothers whose small boys have the
airship bug.
