TO TEST OCEAN
GOING BALLOON

BERLIN, March 6.--Everything is
practically in readiness at the Johan.
nisthal aviation grounds, near this
city, for the trial flights of the Such.
ard, the dirigible airship, which is to
attempt crossing the Atlantic from
Teneriffe this spring. The balloon and
gondola are already complete, and it
is expected that the motors will be
mounted before the end of the week,
so that, barring accidents, an expert.
mental fight about Berlin can be made
within the next few days.
I'VE are hoping" said Joseph Bruck-
er, formerly of Chicago, manager of
the expedition, to the correspondent
of the Chicago Daily News today, that
the first trials will prove so satisfac-
tory that others will not be needed. In
that case the airship can be packed
and sent to Teneriffe almost imedi-
ately The balloon is now fitted with
three powerful motors capable if oper-
ating independently, but our meteor
ologist believe that we shall need to
use them only occasionally. The trade
wind blowing from the Azores toward
the Caribbean in the spring is unvary-
ing, and we shall be blown over the
greater part of the distance, the
motors being used merely to keep the
shin in it's course
= Thus We shall need comparatively
little benzine, while to prevent the
evaporation of gas when the sun is
shining we are applying a device for
sprinkling the envelope of the balloon
with water drawn from the ocean. The
gondola, of course, is so constructed
that it can serve as a boat if we are
forced to descend, but we are confident
that we can keep up the four or five
days necessary for the crossing. Natur-
ally, we shall descend at the first land
to which we come, which will probably
be some island in the West Indies"
Mr.. Brucker has received word that
the American warships will be in
structed to keep sharp lookout for
the dirigible after the start is made.
The a,rship is equipped with wire
less apparatus and can signal vessels
at distance of $50 miues.
