WILL BE DEADLY FOE
GERMAN CLAIMS He CAN MAXI
AIRsHIP INVISIBLE.
Proposed Terror 10 to BE 40 Large 40
the Steamer Olympic and Able to
Defy the Telescope at the
Distance Of a Mile,

The invisible airship has alread,
been patented by its inventor Baror
Roenne. Baron Roenne is we'll know
In England as an airship and nava
engineer, SO more respect must b.
paid to his ideas than to those who
try inventing without any technica
knowledge.
Baron Roenne has submitted his
idea to the officials at the Greenwich
Royal Observatory, and they declare
that 1t Is based on scientific princi
pies, and most certainly practicable
They way this remarkable airship is
made Invisible is as follows:
Take a white wall and paste a white
sheet OF paper on it. At distance OF
few feet you may be able to detect
where the paper leaves Off and the
wall begins. At hundred yards the
wall looks all wall. You would never
suspect the paper Of being there II
you did not known already. That is
Baron Roenne's idea
The outside covering of his airship
Is made of metal, the composition OF
which is a secret. It is almost as
strong as steel, yet it only weighs one
fourth as much. No hydrogen can
leak from a vessel made of it, so the
danger Of an airship exploding from
that cause disappears.
1t is due to the discovery Of chro-
MUM, in fact, that the invisible air
ship is possible. The most important
thing about the metal, as far as Baron
Roenne is concerned, is that 1t pos
sesses a very highly polished surface.
This Is covered over with a thin
coating of transparent varnish. The
whole surface Of the dirigible, in fact,
acts as mirror, and reflects the same
color as its surroundings. If the sky
is dull, SO is the airship. If the sky
is blue, so is the airship.
The sides of the keel Of this new
airship are also rejecting mirrors,
and by an ingenious arrangement Of
them the darker shade reflected from
the earth is made lighter. The keel
will taper to point, and thus there
will be no shadow on the bottom of
the airship. In fact, it will be like
the chameleon, and always like the
color Of its surroundings. In other
words, 1t will be invisible.
Baron Roenne's new terror of the
skies will be as large as the Olympic.
The Olympic. If it could float in the
skies, would easily be detected at
height Of four or five miles, vet
Roenne's dirigible will be absolutely
invisible. even to telescopes, at a dis
lance of less than a mile!
