miles an hour would present no greater
difficulties.
The main difference between the two
English dirigibles, R-33 and RIA, which
have been launched within the past few
weeks and are now being tuned up at the
instance of the British air ministry for the
flight to this country, and the type of ship
proposed for this commercial service is
that the former follows the usual style of
having the passengers quarters hung be-
meath the hull, while the commercial ship
Will have its passengers quarters on top
of the hull, as does the model of airship
intended for the New York Chicago ser
vice.
These British dirigibles are rigid, 670
feet long, so feet in diameter and 95 feet
high weigh 80 tons, have a gas capacity
of from 2,0oO,0o0> to 100000 cubic feet
and will carry 30ton load. They have
Pullman car accommodations and are ex-
pccted to make the trip across the ocean
IN about forty ght hours. On her trial
trip R-33 ran for three hours and half
over Yorkshire at a speed of from forty to
fifty miles an hour and descended only be-
cause of wireless warnings of impending
bad weather.
These ships fitted with six $50 horse
power Sunbeam engines of the Maori type
and have four propellers, 81 feet in diam
eter.
1t was R-33 which ran days s hours
and So minutes and then came down for
lack of petrol She carried five officers,
a crew of twenty three men and one pas
senger. She may very possibly come poking
her nose up over New York harbor one of
these spring mornings without having ad-
vertlsed her coming in advance.
The great airshp in which New Workers
will ere long journey over the pond will
have it's main living accommodations on
top of the gas envelope, and its length of
500 feet will give ample room for comfort
and convenience. Forward, the first half

accessory to make the trip pleasure.

Tickets
At $3.50

There is no claim that arships Will Sc
rlously compete with existing modes of
crossing the ocean. The rigid airship is as
yet only at the beginning of it's develoopment
as carrier. Yet the cost of this trim
through the air across to England is by
no means so great but what the ship should
carry passengers to capacity much of the
time. The rate has been fixed by the
British company at about $3.50 each vav.
and the company expects to carry mail at
not over seven cents an ounce and make
profit.
Far from the airship line being a COM
peting line. it is very possible that one of the
largest British steamship companies will be
heavily interested in this new service and
will undertake the organization of its oper-
ating forces and give it the necessary pub
lefty. The present British government is
inclined, moreover, to look favorably upon
the question of subsidies for airshp services
as basis for developing and improving the
designs of air cruisers, and also that the

Just Around
The Corner

This isn't. These flights Will very soon
be fact. The establishment of commercial
line of airships between America and Eng
land is just around the corner. The mighty
English dirigible which has already made
sustained flight of almost four days and
a half and is quite capable of the round
trip between London and New York with
out landing on this side at all, is to be sent
across by the British government early
next month. The next step is the establish
ment of the airship as the regular carrier
of passengers and light freight

Of the line, however. Americans stand ready
to so into it the moment there is orrortu-
nty--or even to establish their own trans
atlantic airshr line if the English company
should choose to remain entirely English,
is very possible. Indeed company has al
ready completed its plans for New York
Chicago airshp service and means to go
into the transatlantic business when it gets
that running smoothly, and still another is
about ready to take up a line over the
Western ocean.
The transatlantic flight which occupies so
much popular attention just now, is to be
made by airplane, but that fact only adds TO
the interest of the situation. A passenger
carrying service by airpane over distance
greater than thousand miles, which must
be made without stop, is the case with
the fight across the Atlantic, is-considered
q commercial proposition-a matter con-
slderably further in the future than such
a service over even a much greater dis
lance by the lghterthan-air ship. The two
are not rivals; rather they complement each
other; but it remains to work out long dis
lance flights by airplane over the land first.
The airship and the airplane are not likely
to become competitors, and most of us have
got over the idea that the heavier tn an al r
machine is less safe than that which is sus-
tanned by gas lighter than the air, but the
airship is far more nearly analogous to the
great floating hotels which now ferry folks
across the seas than the plane can be, even
the great dual biplanes carrying scores of
passengers, which are planned for the Lon
don-Pars service. 1t is n comfortable
and commodious cruising craft, with less
speed and greater carrying capacity, and
with the development of helium gas in the
United States as measure--the non
infammable gas which can be manufactured
in unlimited quantities easily and cheapl,
and whose properties are such that the for
mer gas difficulties of the airship disap
pear-it should reach an effectiveness not
possible before.

as eliminates noise as far as it can be done.
Inc engines are arranged for running on

England. The control and NAVIGATING de-
partment will be built onto the bottom Of
the hull, near the forward end and so To-
Gated as to give perfectly clear view in

range of at least 5000 miles are planned
Inflated buffer landing bags of special
type are called for by the plans to be
ftted underneath the forward control car
and underneath the two aft machinery cars,
SO as to enable the ship to alight either on
iand or on the water. On long flights,
covering both day and night, maintenance
OF the ship at constant height is perhaps
the greatest problem her navigator has to
face AS the ship uses engine fuel, and
thus its weight is lessened, its tendency is
to rise, and as it does this there is q loss
of gas consequent on its expansion The
lower temperature at night makes the ship
heavier also. and there would be necessary
some discharge of ballast at night and Of
gas IN the morning to equaiize the weight
There is a possibility that the lifting gas
may be utilized as fuel in part of the en-
gines, and thus the loss OF lift be balanced
against the loss of weight from the use Of
gssolcne in the others. In any case. how
ever. plans Gave been perfected for the
condensation of the water of combustion
from the exhaust gases of the engines,
thus avoiding the variation of weight
caused by the consumption of the gasoene

From available weather records, which will

the Transatlantic arplane fight, it is be-
lieved that Crossings by airship would be
practicable on about 50 per cent of the days

200 crossings per year could be made. From
