LEAps IN DIRlGiBLEs.

The London Standard gives thu de-
tails OF the largest dirigible lat planned,
which Japan is now building, 1t will
be rigid and will have 4 leasth OF COO
feet and diameter OF little over 80
feet. 1t will be equipped with six l2O
horse power motors and is expected to
make 80 miles an hour against 4 10
mile wind and even to be able to go
five miles an hour against Go mile
hurricane.
Over a huge metal skeleton the
outer covering OF the fabric will be
placed It will contain sufficient gas
to lifl II tons, and if necessary could
carry at least 20 tons Of benzine for
its engines The loss of gas is COM
pcnsated for by the lesseGed weight
caused by the consumption Of oil fuel,
and in that way the balloon should he
able to remain in the air week. 1t
will be under the full control Of crew
Of 10, but will be able to carry 80
passengers besides. There is ample
room for ammunition and bomb
cylinders. 1t is hoped that the dirigi-
BILE will be ready for launching next
summer. Japan recently completed q
semi-rigid dirigible that was not salts

Jules yedrines, the French aviator,
promises to startle the world with an
aeroplane feat the nature of which he
is keeping secret. He merely says it
will be sensational and OF an untried
character.
Speaking of the use OF aeroplanes
in war, Vedrines said that number OF
aeroplanes could paralyze IN few
hours the worlds greatest battleshlp
fleets. In case OF a war between France
and Germany, he added French air
men could destroy bridges, railroads
and fortresses.

SHERMAN AND TAFT.

James S. Sherman, vice-pI esident OF
the United States. yesterday gave his
consent to the publication of letter
addressed to Wilbur F. Wakeman,
general manager and treasurer of the
American Protective Tariff League,
which those who have already seen it
assert will cause comment. 1t reads:
Washington, D. c.. August 3, 1911.
What you say in the article, it
seems to me, is very sensible. The
seeming trend away from protection,
in my judgment is but temporary. Be-
fore our people get back to the old
moerings, however, We may be forced
through a period of depression. l
trust that this trying experience will
not be required 10 awaken the Amer
lean people to the monstrous import
ance Ito them Of the continuance, in
a wholesome and adequate degree, OF o
wide and non-sectarian protection to
all our interests.
IF tie people do not awaken to the
situation prior to the time. the protec-
ton props are knocked from bedeath
our economic structure, with the fall OF
that structure will come condition
painful though it be, which will, as
heretofore, bring the people to their
senses and cause them to return to
their old moorings with wonderful unan-
unity, with great force and all the
haste under our constitutional methods
4 look with great sadness upor
this seeming trend at the present, bu
my hope f1r the future is optimistic
