BUILD A|RSHIPS
TO LIFT ESQ TONS
British War Office Officials Be-
Iieve Machine Is PraC-
teal.
GREAT POSSIBILITIES seen
Immense Craft Could Cross Atlantic
and Return and Then Repeat the
Journey Without Pause,
Weather Permitting.

London.-A rigid acknowledgements
type-of 100000 cubic feet capac-
ity, or about three times as large as
any yet constructed, is a pra2tlcal
proposition, according to wal ONCE
,officials. Such an airShip would pos
sess total lifting power Of about 28o
tons. The structural weight, that Is,
the gas bags, framework, gOndolas,
engines, operating machinery, etc.
would be not more than 80 tons, leav-
ing 200 tons as disposable lift. Only
50 tons would be required to make
room for the crew, petrol ballast, etc.,
leaving $50 tons commercial LOAD
which could be carried.
Such an airship could cross the At
1antic and return and then repeat the
Journey without a pause, if weather
were favorable.
British Government Interested.
Because the British empire is so
far-fung, the government is encour-
aging development Of aerial cOmmuni-
cation for both passengers and light
parcels as a vital necessity. Wireless
stations betting the world also will
be erected quickly as possible.
Before this is printed Handley-
Page machine will have flown from
England to India in test trip. This
is but preliminary to permanent air
traffic to Egypt India, South Africa
and Australia. Canada likewise will
be linked up with the mother coun-
try.
The rigid airships which Britain
now possesses can cross the Atlantic,
given favorable weather. But it is
the airplane that is being developed
for overland routes.
Godfrey Isaacs, brother of Lord
Reading, Britains ambassador to
America, is head of the MarcOni Wire
less Telegraph company. Isaacs is
simply waiting for peace, which will
remove certain restrictions, to expand
British wireless stations.
Stations in China.
Two stations will be erected in
paratus will be installed on all pas
Senger-carrying airplanes, so that mes
sages may be sent back and forth
while the flight is in progress. Hence
o business passenger who may tire of
the scenery or have bright ideas about
his business may get in touch with his
head office boy or assistant manager,
as the case may be. Thus, as it is
feasible to wireless ships of the sea-
SO it will be possible to wireless ships
OF the air.
The two new wireless stations in
China will be installed with the help
Of airplanes. Instead of requiring
several months to send machinery to
Cashmere and the Chinese side of ST.
IBERIA, locations of stations by wagon,
for there are no railroads, the ma
chinery will be taken in Handley-
Page airplanes. Thus, in such ways
will the distant parts of the world
be linked up with modern times.

Richest Pearl Fisheries.

Although most of the bays and In
lets of the remote island groups of
the South Seas have been stripped of
their pearl-bearing bivalve mollusks
by venturesome WOnd-wayfarers, there
continues to be found occasionally
small areas of these waters that have
been untouched by pearl divers and
which often yield wealth to the ex-
plorers. The richest pearly waters in
the world are those adjacent to the
picturesque beach town of BroOme.

$3.50 for Coin Lost by Martyr
President

New Castle, Pa.-Mrs. J. L. Under
wood Of this city, has a copper cent
bearing date 1918 which once was
owned by Abraham Lincoln and was

it. Mrs. Underwood found the coin
while digging in a field near Lincoln

penny was one of four or five that
Lincoln carried on string. Lincoln
had told Gentry of losing one of the
coins. There is hole in the penny

Temperature at the North Pole.

It is not matter of record that
Peary took the temperature during his
short stay at the Pole, hence there Is
no North pole temperature record that
we know about. The probable maxi
mum temperature, however, cannot be
much above the freezing point, not
withstanding it's 24-hour day, for the
Pole is isolated and in an ocean in
which it is necessary to melt all the
ice and snow before the immediate
surface temperature rises much above
80 degrees Fahrenheit
