BALLOON PROOF AGAINST WIND
New style Airship that Is Designed
on the Principle of the
Anger.

A new type OF dirIgible balloon has been
Invented, The balloon looks like three
enormous links of sausage encircled by
narrow bands of aluminium shaped like
screw threads which revolve when the
wind catches them Suspended from the
/ sausage joints are cars for passengers,
machinery, supplies and crew. on either
side are propellers In the rear is a large
fan-shaped rudder for steering.
II is claimed by the inventor, and de-
signer, OF this new aircraft, respectively,
Peter Macor of New York City and Au-
gust Aucher OF Pittsburg, Pa, that this
dirigtble balloon is proof against hurri-
canes, storms tornadOes, cyclones. simoons
typhoons and whirlwinds of every kind
II will travel, they assert, In any desired
horizontal direction regardless of the wind
Il will be recalled that the Zeppelin
dirigible balloons have gone down to de-
feat one after another when opposed to
the fury Of the elements
The Macor dirigible balloon, so called
after the inventor. is constructed on an
entirely novel and most interesting prin,
ciple As far as the gas bags the pas,
senger cars, propellers and rudders are con-
eerned, they differ only slightly from
those found on the Zeppelin balloon But
The screwlike bands OF aluminium sur
rounding the three gas bags are depended
on TO shield the envelop from the wind by
creating an opposing current of air The
stronger the wind blows the more rapidly
Will the bands revolve. In the space be-
tween the gas bag and the aluminium bands
perfect calm will reign at all times.
ITO drive a dirigible balloon headon
into the teeth of a hurricane" said MI
Macor? IAN engine of no less than fifty
eight thousand horsepower would be re-
quired In the Macor dirigible a forty
horsepower engine will do the work with
ease. No matter how hard the wind blows.

because the air currents never reach the
gas bags.
The Macor dirigibe is made in three
sections. or sausage links, for purposes OF
stability Each gas bag win be protected
against opposing wind currents By five or
seven aluminium bands, each three-six-
teenths OF an inch thick and from two 10

tion-the securing of greater safety through
more rigid inspection and stricter ad-

The methods of these safety committees

spot undesirable conditions. ola general
character are reported promptly to the
central safety committee, with recommen-

Enter the Yankee Manufacturer

PUT now it is time for the Yankee manufacturer to
intervene, and he does it in this wise: What about
organs? Who makes the biggest and finest pipe organs
of the world? We have seventy-fve pipe organ
factories in this country, and you must admit they
made by machinery at least large part of them"
Yes pipe organ making is industry; not exactly
art as it has been reduced to scientific basis The
larger built to order chiefly; but the orders
in steadily and from every part of the world Re-
Gently we built shipped and set up huge pipe organ
in the palace of the Shah of Persia and another for
of the Indian Princes in Calcutta. There half
hundred American built pipe organs in the royal palaces
of Europe, Asia, and Africa.
The manufacture of musical instruments is in reality
of the big industries of the country, and it has
achieved prominence by virtue of the Yankee idea of
using machines in place of handwork wherever possible
If it is only the turning winding of wire metal

can be saved by machinery. The cheap labor of Ger

all sorts, cornets trombones and buges-entrely by

do much of the work just skilfully and much
quickly Horns made of pieces of brass, rolled and
fattened by machinery, and then stripped proper
length and width by automatic cutters. We do not

sweeping conclusions. In the last twenty-five years
have manufactured nearly five million pianos and
each year add to this stock thousands of new in
struments American made pianos are found in every
of the globefor big exporters of the in
struments-and the familiar American tone greets
weary, homesick tourists in the famous music halls
of Europe we'll in the lesser opera houses of the
Orient South Africa or Australia.
But swallow does not make summer; neither
does class of instruments the world music
"Ah but you can't make vions by machinery" we
can hear foreign artist triumphantly exclam. No,
cannot, and the American industry has added moth
ing to the history of the violin. We make them in
several factories- few thousand year,-but they

matter neither do the Europeans turn out Srads any

have discovered machinery to turn them out by
wholesale process.
Then there the wind Instruments" our foreign
critic continues "How you make them by ma
chinery? 1t takes skilled handwork to make perfect
horn" Once the against us; for
machinery does apparently play small part in horn
construction and the cheaper labor of Germany is hard
to compete with. Yet, wait minute! We do make
brass band instruments each year valued at nearly half
million dollars and if you will take walk through
factory you will find that machines equalizing the
difference to considerable extent.

1t is music reduced to science factory for the max
ing of organs is interesting place to pick up informa
ton OF an odd character We have gone extensively
into organ making, and the seventy-fve factories
gagged IN the business make enough instruments
to furnish every town, city, and village with several.
The big pipe organs built to order and designed
TIT special conditions. They not, therefore, made
and up the factories but manufactured in pieces
and assembled the SITE The designer for church
public hall organ must consult the architects plans
and study the color and tone Of the decorations and
then make his drawings accordingly to harmonize Big
pipe organs therefore made in parts, much
bridge is manufactured, and then shipped in sections
any part of the world to be assembled by experts
There several thousand parts in a modern pipe
organ The pipes alone, many of which are thirty-two
feet in length, and each weighing hundred pounds
when made of tin, rolled and shaped by both
chinery and hand, and a thousand other parts
stamped and cut out by big automatic machines The
interior of a pipe organ has several hundred feet Of
shiny winding tubes made of pure TIM and when we add
to these interior tubes the big visible pipes get
an idea of the Importance of tin bending and rolling
tools and machines in this industry.
The pipe organ is des gned and blueprints made
much architect desi gns and sketches house. and
before any part of it is made the whole completed
paper down the details of musical tones key
board and tubular connections. When completed the
instrument responds accurately to the touch of the
musician Art has thus yielded to the insistent demands
of science this field and the builder proceed with
mathematical precision.
The Greatest Instrument of All
IKE the pipe organ the piano is built rather than
- manufactured and in sense it takes as long to
build first class piano does bateship factory
may be organized that it will turn out any number
of completed pianos week. but each has been in

The piano really the greatest musical instrument Of
the world today. 1t is the most popular, the most
common, and the most useful of all musical instruments
