Odd Shaped Craft, with Wooden
Frame, Building in Germany.

IFrom a tribune Correspondent
Berlin, March An airship differing in
many features from any yet constructed Is
nearing completion az Rheinau, near Mann
helm. and will be launched IN a month OF
two. IL is building according 20 designs
drawn by a Dantzie professor named
Schultz, and its principal distinctive feat
ure Is that its skeleton Is OF wood. Profess
sor Schultz believes he can save much
weight by using this material, besides
avoiding all electrostatic manifestations in
herent in metals The skeleton work is
done. and this he considers the most diffi-
cult part. the rest presenting little difficulty.
The ships body viii be iSS metres long
and al its thickest part about ls metres in
thickness.
Differing from the Zeppelin type. the YES
sci Viii not be cylindrical IN shape. but
rather more like q club-shaped cigar

out and then slowly tapering 10 a point.
This shape, IL Is asserted. offers the small
est amount Of resistance 20 the wind.
The rigid skeleton is. as said. OF wood
and entirely Of peculiarly constructed
T-shaped carriers of the form familiar IN
railroad bridges, the only difference being
that IN this airship they are not Of one
4 piece. but OF thin boards pasted together.
4 The wood used is u very soft one, without
knots or knot holes, cut into sheets only a
millimetre IN thickness such as are used IN
veneer work. These thin sheets are then
: pasted together crosswise into thicker
sheets. For protection against climatic in
I huences the whole skeleton has been heavily
lacguered.
