Dream of Magazine Writer, the Full
fllment of Which Is Not Be-
yond Realm of Possibility.

From the standard Of present devel-
opment the airship of 1915 may be
conceived as having a hull of rigid
construction, 1000 feet long and so
feet beam. with accommodations for
125 to $50 passengers, with a crew of
forty-two men.
The new air liner will resemble a
submarine, or rather a flying fish, a
writer in the Century says. All its
parts will be compactly built into the
hull. Its under body, 500 feet long,
y feet wide and feet high, will ex-
tend between the elbows fore and aft
where the hull begins to curve toward
its pointed bow and stern. The I'M
derbody will hold seven passengers
and eight operating sections, after the
fashion of a compartment sleeping
car. A continuous passageway will ex-
tend from end to end.
The prov, glazed with artificial
mica, will furnish an aerial observa-
tory. Its interior will be a series Of
