An inventor in Highlands, Col, recently OBJ
tanned patent upon airship that contains all
the comforts of bone. In the drawings it re-
sembles an enlarged picture Of some sort Of
bug, with a row of eyes along the side and a
ruffle down its back; on inspection the rufie re-
solves itself into the railing along the upper deck
and the eyes into windows OF the various state
rooms on the ship.
The lace curtains of each window care
fully looped back as not to obscure the view

A of Bergen, N j., has patented what
looks like large metallic box turned upside
down. There is no bottom in it, In the side
walls are circular openings, and in these are ro-
tary fans, which suck the air into the box. The
aeronaut sits In car suspended from the box.
When the Bergen man wants to fly he turns
the power onto his fans; these pump air into the
box. 1t can only escape downward, and the reac-
ton from this powerful draft will force the box
upward, causing it to fy-so runneth the patent
specification.
An expert of the patent Office figured out that
blast strong enough to lift the combined weight
of machine and aeronaut would blow a hole in
the ground big enough to hide elephant. What
happens to the unfortunate hero who sits below
in the teeth of this tornado will probably be told
in the supplemental application recently filed.
A genius from GAINESVILLE, Tenn would fly
by incasing himself in rubber suit, much like
that OF diver, to which attached hollow
wings filled with liquid air The release of the
air through Waived vents downward and back
ward propels him upward and forward. There

has patented birddrven airship, but limits his
motors to ducks; why ducks is not set forth.

But woman from Brooklyn goes the Chicago
