 The entire machine is 600 to 800 feet long and 60 to so feet in dia- meter, according to the type. In the earlier and more frequent type there are nine spherical gas bags within the cigarshaped envelope. From the under side swings the car, about 400 feet long. There are four sets of engines, two at the bow and two at the stern, and they operate two propellers and two tractors.

medicinal quality passes into the

so they are best, says an authority,

ranks of people, and it was this hab-
it of snuff taking that brought the
handkerchief into common use as
toilet accessory, increased its size
and caused it to be made of rather
coarser material.
The handkerchief has served
many curious purposes. Queen Anne
of England had the text of her
speech to parliament, delivered
April 8. l7l0, printed on handker-
chiefs, and in this way got that ad-
dress into the homes of England.
The announcements of the treaty
of Utrecht and of the victories of
Marlborough we're printed on hand
kerchiefs. Handkerchiefs in 1745
we're stamped with the portraits of
the young pretender's principal fol-,
lowers with view to aiding in their
capture, and the Stuart party print
ed on handkerchiefs the portrait Of
George II. that his picture might
be put to ignoble uses.
Handkerchiefs we're Of many
shapes, and that now all of them
are square is said to have resulted,
from the fact that Louis XVI, Jan.
3, 1885. issued an edict at the IN
stance of Marie Antoinette that
"the length of handkerchiefs shall
equal their breadth henceforth
throughout the kingdom" Students
of the handkerchief have said that
this edict determined the shape Of
