among them; several times it ran into them, and all became gray outside and a peculiar odor was noticeable. When We emerged it was uncanny to see the dark masses float by at the level ef the ship. But the cabin felt so homelike that any feeling of fear or dizZ ness was out oi the question. Wonderfully reas- surfing was the fact that one had roof over ones head" even a . beautiful mahogany ceiling.
 ! The sunlit lanscape, seen from not too great an altitude. and from 1 a ttlymoSing observatory, was an experience so novel that no compari. son will give true idea of it. It is different from the view from a mountain, because most objects are so much nearer, while from a tower or skyscraper, the lower altitude makes the field of sight comparative ly limited. But the determined swift movement cf an airship gives the vista the same depth as from a high mountain, yet things appear so much more q stinct. The result of this and of the entire lack of such ex- experience is truly bewildering richness Of vision, quite beyond the mindss power to grasp. The most famil ar scenery ap- pears disguised beyond recogni- tion. Well known buildings are the most useful cleWs to identification; i then rivers, ditches, lionds and roads. Forests trees, hills, the out lines of towns, help but little, In an airsh p one realizes for the first time how little we see in everyday life. Everything is pitilessly laid | bare; secrets seem stripped stark naked. We fly over village; it is still misty, and We pass it quickly l Yet during these few seconds we can make an excellent guess at the for tunes of each inhabitant We take in all the telltale marks about a stable and learn the number and condition of the stock inside. There is no hiding in forest. the ground is distinctly visible between the trees and through the ranches If the air is clear enough to use a strong f.eld-glass, the same applies to war times and high levels of flight, the one necessary condition being that the line of sight approach es the vertical.
 The airship's freedom from any fixed line of travel, except among high mountains, has very unusual effect. The country through which this trip extended was quite familiar 10 the visitor, yet the airship took him for the first time to two never visited cities around Frankfurt which were touched on the airline as matter of course, and just as easily as the other one where he had been. Even with present high fares, a;rship travel pays we'll for the foreign tourist who wants to get acquainted with a country. He sees ,as much of it in hours as otherwise he could get in weeks-Carl Dienst

A JOu1nep m c ZeppeM IMPRESSIONS OF "vIkToRA
 
TRIP IN THE AIRS
lUiSE'

It is the absolute novelty of the sensation that renders it impossible To imagine beforehand just how it feels 10 journey through the air in the ideal comfort and with the safety and speed with characterize q Zeppelin airship.
 The sensation is a comb b.nation of the d stinct impressions; the big ness. eomplexity and self sufficienev f this new world of yours. it's de tachment, and finally, it's mighty powers.
 Balloons. aeroplanes. smaller air ships. cannot impress one so strong ly. Their eramped quarters and moderate dimensions do not suggest such a world in itself" Their progress is not so certain. They have the jarrng and jerking charac- teristic of earthly locomotion But in Zeppelin enc feels as if one
  through space on it's prescribed course. One loses the sense Of speed and at times might think himself still lowering in mid-air were it not that the picture below keeps on changing as frequently and quite as softly and smoothly as the float ing fancies of a dream.
 In the cabin there is complete ab- sence of vibration and noise; for the hum ef propellers and motors is as subdued as the rustling of trees and the softest speaking voice is dis tinCtly audible. The motion would suggest the drifting of a spherical balloon were it not that the mind is very quickly impressed by the fact that it is not as aimless. Only when something in this floating pan orama below tries to remain, do you realize, with a start, the amount of brute force" (nearly 800 horse- pOwer) that keeps your dream going
 If you see the locomotive of an express train with the piston rods vibrating to and fro gradually falling behind with its tail of waving hand kerehiefs on a track that runs paral- Tel to your course, you feel sudden respect fer the driving power of the great propellers fore and aft.
 Later a flight of pigeons appears at a lower level, also going in the same direction. They hold their own only for a whle-until they turn from our course. In the cabin the air is not at rest. A fitful little breeze, just enough to remind you that you are flying, eemes in oeca- sonal puffs through the windows. but even outside the air is sucked along by the huge hull. and does not blow against the extended hand with a force corresponding to the ships velocity But a hurricane sweeps into the exposed front car. The pilot Of an aeroplane meeting the "Viktcria Luise" would behold the unusual sight of a man at the helm in the uniform of a naval sail or wearing automobile goggles. Re gently a transparent windshield has been fitted to the bridge" The crew of the big passenger Zeppelins last summer was partly composed of naval sailors and officers being train ed to man the huge new airship of the navy. The peculiar character of the cabin. which on earth drew from almost every visitor to the shed the simple exclamation, "A dining car," appears only after the airship has ascended. After landing it seems to shrink again into insig nificance; but a thousand feet up in tn, air it feels as roomy and as gorgeou! as palace.
