Clement doubtless takes satisfaction in
the reputation he has now won, but his
impelling consideration was probably a
commercial contract The airship he
has constructed for the British govern
ment was ordered about a year ago, and
its acceptance depends on the manner
in which it shall meet special tests.
From the apparent ease with which
the Clement Bayard made its journey it
would hardly be safe to draw hasty in
ferences. The constructor waited for
Dropitious weather for the delivery Of
his product to the buyer Had he been
in haste or had he tried to run his air
ship in accordance with a time schedule
he might have been less fortunate. Pos
sibly he was influenced by the fate
which has Overtaken so many Zeppelin
balloons Aerial vehicles unQuestiOn-

one sort or another in the future, but
it looks as if it would always be neces-
