Invents Invisible Airship.
Baron Rgcnnc the wcll-known airsiso
and naval engineer. has invented on in
Visible airshIP. He has submitted hts
Idea 10 tho officials at the Greenwich
Royal obScryatoYv. and they declare that
" II based on scientific principles and
most certainly practicable. The way this
remarkable eirship is made invisible Is
as follows:
Take tt white wall and paste a white
sheet af paper OF II. At a distance OF a
few feet yod may be able ~ detect where
the papcr leaves or and the wall begins
Al q hundred yards thr wall looks all
wall You would never suspect tho pa
per OF being there n you did not know
already. This Is Baron Roonue's idea
The outside covering Of his airship is
made OF chromium. 4 metal the compo-
slt!on or which Is a secret. II Is almost
as strong as steel. yet u only weighs
1Uc fourth as much. No hydrogen can
eak from vessel made of II. 20 the
LANCER ol an airshlp exploding from that
,suse disappears
II IS due TO tho discover of chromium. /
N fact. that The invisible Rirship is DOS
li0lc. The most important thing about /
h" metal so far as Baron Hoeune is
Concerned s. that Il possesses very
highly polished surface.
Reflects Color Of Surroundings.
This surface IS covered over with
hin coating % tragsuareni yarnish. .
