The size of the hangar can be
better appreciated when it is stat
ed that awo history buildings, sew
eral blocks long and 1875 feet wide
could be placed inside the building
with a street between them.
Two liners of the size OF the Lee
viathan could be built inside the
hangar and still leave space for
all the necessary machine shops.
Overhead trolleys are provided
for the construction OF airships.
Three docking rails of special de-
sign for landing, releasing and
mooring purposes extend the length
of the building and for $500 feet
in front. 1t is expected that the
hangar will be completed during
the coming summer. The photo
graphs shown are Of the model at
Washington and from the design
er's sketch. They have just been
released by the naval censor and
are here shown for the first time
It is not too much to expect that
such dirigibles as can be housed
in this hangar could make trip
from New York to the Philippines.
A fleet of them could be as easily
available for the defense of Hawaii
as for Porto Rico. II some method
is found of safely mooring such
airships in the open. their use will
soon become universal.
As a passenger carrier the new

dirigible can easily accommodate
20, besides the crew. The expense
of handling these giants Of the air
is still a matter of conjecture.
There is no doubt, however, that
the actual attempt to commercial
ize this mode of travel will bring
forth many economics not appar-
ent at present.
The success Of the United States
navy dirigible experts in handling
the R-34 proved them entirely ca
pable Of having one of their own.
1t is typical OF the spirit OF the
American navy that they should
stand among the leaders of the
world in this most practical meth
cd of aerial travel.
The training of men to care for
and direct the new airships will be
done in England. where the first
one will be built. Others are
planned, of increased size, to be
constructed over here, after the ex-
perience of our experts with the
English built ship.
The men who are to be given the
honor of manning and looking after
these new airships are to be spe-
cially selected from various air
stations or recruited from civilian
life, by reason of special qualifica-
tons. Already there is great rival
~ among officers and men to OBJ
tain the desired appointment.

EXCHANGE UP NINE
CENTS AT OPENING

New York, March 11.-Foreign
exchange continued strong today.
Demand sterling opened at $3.S2A,
or cents above yesterdays close.
London, March 11.-American
exchange showed a further i'm
provement in the local market to-
day. moving to 1884, mainly as the
result of the bulk of the $1,000. 900
gold available in the market being
taken for the United States. The
quotation later receded to $3.50.
The price of gold fell off with the
cessation of the demand from In
dia, being quoted several shillings
lower, at 107 shillings 2 pence per
ounce. Silver also declined sharp
ly to 697s pence in consequence of
large arrivals from the continent
and further offerings from that
quarter.

contracted last summer for a dirig-
ible larger than the R-34, plans
were Immediately started for a
hangar to house it.
The R-34, which made the round
trip across the Atlantic, is CAB feet
long, 80 feet high, and of 100000
cubic feet gas capacity.
The new navy hangar at Lake
hurst will accommodate two dirig-
ibles, both more than twice as large
as the R-34. 1t will be larger than
any hangar in the world, either in
construction or plan.
Plans and specifications were
prepared and contracts awarded
last fall. The building as original
ly projected was to be 800 feet
long. Changes since then have
been suggested to increase the
length to nearly a thousand feet
1t will have width of 318 feet.
The double doors at one end,
consisting of two leaves, are 1T
feet high and 1876 feet wide. They
have q frame of structural steel,
braced to q width of rs feet at the
bottom. Special railway tracking
is provided as a slide for these ire
mendous portals.
When opened, the doors and the
arch Of the roof form a windbreak
nearly 900 feet wide, insuring safe
ty in landing and releasing the
ships.

ESPECIAL to The Argus.)

Springfield, ILL.,, March ia
number Of changes in the revenue
laws Of the state ~ affecting coun-
ties was decided upon at q confer
ence Of the legislative committee OF
tho Association Of County Clerks.
Supervisors, Probate Clerks and
County Auditors here in this county
this morning. These were present.
ed before the joint committee OF
county and township, government
and revenue taxation and finance
of the constitutional convention
at a meeting Of the committees this
afternoon by the committee Of the
county officials organization. Prin-
cipal among these changes is the
elimination from the constitution Of
the provision which restricts the
taxing rate for the county to 70
cents on the 500 Of assessed valu-
alton.
The county Is the only unit in
which the taxing rate is fixed by
the constitution.
Another change advocated is the
classification Of property for the
purpose OF taxation. Opposition
was expressed to the proposed
change in the constitution which
| limits the bond issues Of counties
| to 20 years as at present, and
which would extend the time limit
for bonds. E. A. Prichard, super
visor from Kane county. was pres
ent at the meeting, he being a

tee. H. B. Hubbard, county clerk
of Rock Island county. member OF
