Zeppelin Accidents.
Count Zeppelin's machines have
many times met with disaster. and
some of them in a curious way. yep
pelin 3" struck a tree and was
wrecked. The Deutschland" was
ruined in the Teuloburgian forest by
landing on the tops Of the trees. Thir-
ty-three passengers were on board and
they all escaped unhurt. by climbing
down the trees. Deutschland q" was
jammed against the walls of her
hangar and wrecked. The .schwaben.
was blown to pieces at Dusseldorf in
1911 and thrty-four soldiers were in
jured. The Zeppelin marine airship
Il. IL was destroyed in the North
Sea, causing the death of fifteen men.
This was due to a hurricane encoun-
tered at a height of FIVE thousand feet
On October seventeenth OF last year
the zeppelin L. 2" exploded in the
air while on q trial trip. This acci.
dent occurred at Johannisthal, near
Berlin, and cost the lives Of several
eminent officers Of the German army
and navy. Twenty-eight officers and
men persisted.
The Parseval Balloons.
The "Parseval'' is of an entirely diff
ferent type. being non-rigid, yet It has
been no more successful in flights and
in avoiding accidents. Three distinct
types Of this aircraft have made their
appearance in Germany. but none Of
them have been able to cope with the
Zeppelin in speed. Descriptions Of
both Of these and the Zeppelins have
been published so often that It seems
unnecessary to repeat them and bore,
the reader with technicalities. one

Then Santos Dumont, young
Brazilian less than twenty-five years
of age. came in the field In Paris and
built his famous Santos-Dumont ball
looms one after another. Several times
he barely escaped with his life but
he continued to .try. try again" and
became known throughout the world
as the "man bird" Besides being
endowed with determination, pluck
and common. sense. Monsieur Santos
Dumont possessed ample means to
carry on his work, and he finally sue
ceeded in surprising everybody by his
control of aircraft. With his No. 4
balloon he sailed around the Eiffel
Tower In Paris. and won a $4,000
prize. His No. was wrecked at
Monaco. and he just escaped drown
ing. No. 8, small dirigible. was his
masterpiece. He loved the limelight
and his clever management OF this
machine won him undying fame.

In 1902 Paris set about to find some
body who could build dirigible suit
able for military purposes, for despite
the success OF the Dumont machines
they were unsulted for army work.
