The End of the Dirigible7

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Commenting on the tragic death of the
Vaniman brothers and their assistants by
the destruction of their dirigible balloon
at Atlantic City recently. and on the
wreck four days previously of the Zep-
pelin dirigibie balloon "SchWeben" at
Dusseldorf. Germany, Engineering News
expresses the opinion that these disasters
"ought to be sufficient to put an end to
further waste of money and Of human
lives upon this mistaken plan Of aerial
navigation"
The defects of the dirigible balloon in
deed have become emphasized, and 1t
seems probable that, as this technical
journal prophesies. "a few years hence
the craze over the dirigible balloon dur
ing the first decade of the twentieth GEN.
tury will rank among the curiosities of
mechanical engineering" But the early
flights of Zeppelin were SO promising that
the dirigible for few years seemed likely
to become safer craft than the aero
plane. Now the aeroplane has so devel-
oped as to be the more reliable as well
as the swifter flying machine. though
safety is not yet obtained. Aviation is
still so essentially dangerous that it
should be deemed a crime to demand a
flight when the judgment Of the aviator
is against taking the risk
