.27 DIE WHEN
AIRSHIP EXPLODES
German DIigiDi8 fOOk Fire
While Up 800 Feet
ONLY ONE FOUND ALIVE
New Filler, Carry ng Military and Naval
officers, CRASHES to Earth Mass
of Flames.

NJ The newest and largest Of the Yep
pelin war air hips, the LII, was de-
stroyed in mid-aid By an explosion
near Berlin.
All except one of the twenty-eignt
military and naval men on board, IN
Guiding the engine admiralty trial
board, were killed.
Shortly after the disaster to the
navy aviation men came news that
three army officers belonging to the
flying corps were killed in aeroplane
accidents.
The disaster 10 the LII. occurred
Just above the main street of the city
Of Johannisthal while the big dirigible'
500 feet long, was making a trial trip
preliminary TO its acceptance as the
aagship Of the new German aerial
navy. The shattered hulk Of the air
ship, a mass of blazing canvass ana
crumpled aluminium dropped 900 feet
into the public highway.
Hundreds of persons, who had been
watching The Fight from parks and
housetops, rushed to the scene. There
was nothing 10 be done except to take
out the bodies of the victims from the
! mass of twis.e wreckage.
The dirigible. just before she left the
balloon hall at Johannisthal, took on
board her regular naval crew and a
number OF officers. She headed for Ber-
lin. a short distance away, in a light
wind. About dozen aviators were cir
cling the aerodrome at the time IN
aeroplanes.
Everything was apparently in good
order on the airship. She was grad
ually getting mp speed when suddenly
an explosion was heard by those on
the ground. evidently in one of the
motors in the centre gondola. A fash
shot out and the next instant the en-
tire ship was afre and plurging down
ward. Every inch Of canvass covering
and the balloonets disappeared in a
moment
A second and more violent explosion
was then heard, the fire having reach
ed the gasoline tanks filed with about
two tons Of liquid fuel. Before the
echoes of the explosion had died down
! the wreck OF the most modern OF TER
many's dirigibles lay a flaming mass
on the ground.
The six inmates of the center gon-
dola had been blown through the sides
/ of the car by the first explosion and
their bodies fell quarter of a mile
away from the wreck of the balloon,
which was travelling at forty miles an
hour when the accident happened. All
the others, except two, were apparent
ly killed by the explosion of the gaso-
line tank, and we're probably dead be-
fore the wreckage reached the earth.
The commander and members Of the
admiralty trial board were seated in
I the officers gondola. After the fire
started they we're Gagged inside a net
work Of red-hot girders.

Making of the knOCker

After God had finished the rattle
snake, the toad and the vampire, he
had some awful substance left
with which he made a knocker. A
knocker is a two-legged animal with
a corkscrew soul, a water logged
brain and a combination backbone
made OF jelly and glue. Where other
people have their hearts, he carries a
tumor of rotten principles. When
the knocker comes down the street,
honest men turn their backs and
angels weep tears in heaven and the
devil shuts the gates of hell to keep
him out.
No man has the right to knock as
long as there is a pool of water deep
enough to drown his body in, or a
rope to hang his carcass with
