$12,177 to Be Spent
In Replenishing Gas
Supply of Big Ship
BY international News Service

NAVAL AIR STATION, Lake.
hurst, n. J., Oct. 19-The Graf
Zeppelin's requirements for fuel
and hydrogen gas have put unusual
demands on the United States Navy
in view Of the fact that the sta
ton here has never handled "blau"
gas and all dirigibles at the hangar
use helium exclusively for lifting
power.
Despite these extraordinary de.
mands, naval officers have worked
untiringly to meet them, with the
result that everything il now in
readiness to replenish the <Airship's
"blau" gas and hydrogen supply.
All fuelling and gas operations
are in charge of Lieut.. Ralph H.
Smith, engineer officer of the sta
ton. Lieutenant Smith has 2,63s
bottles Of this gaseous fuel on
hand, or 923,300 cubic feet.
From an especially built rack on
which 80 bottles are placed, the
liquid fuel will be forced by COM
pressed air into pipeline.
Sixty Hours Needed
As steam is applied when the
liquid fuel is forced through a
valve at the end of the bottle, the
liquid is transformed into the
gaseous substance. The gas is then
forced into the pipeline and from
the power house to the hangar
and then into the ships tanks,
This operation, Lieutenant smith
believes, may take so hours. Great
care will have to be taken with
this operation.
Next Monday, the replenishment
OF the Graf Zeppelin hydrogen
supply will be started. A total OF
10000 cubic. feet Of the inflammabIe
gas will be manufactured at the
stations gas plant. The stations
TWO free balloons will be placed
near the hangar to receive the
gas.
1t will be fed to them from a
small nurse balloon. From the free
balloons 1t will be forced into the
zeppelin's gas cells by means of
an s-inch hose line.
SHIFT Will Be Cost
An additional supnlv NJ . nor
cubic feet Of hydrogen, which has
been received here in 100 cylinders
from the Philadelphia ward viii
also be used for the replenishnent
While the Navy is giving its
services gratis. The Germans will
pay for the fuel and gas
The cost of the "blsu" gas is
estimated at 1892 and that of the
hydrogen at about $2,2S5.
Lieutenant Smith believes thai
the Graf Zeppelin will not use ur
all of the "blau" gas on hand
With the remaining quantity, the
station will make a number q
experiments TO determine the prae
ttcability of the use of this gaseou,
fuel in the motors of the Lol
Angeles.

If he encountered adverse condi-
tons, Macdonald should have ar
rived at the Irish coast yesterday
afternoon.
The daring f1ier carried approx
inately 10 gallons of gasoline and
had expected to get about 90 miles
out of each gallon unless he met
head.winds. His plane was capable
of 10 miles an hour but he was
expected to keep to a speed Of
about 100 miles an hour.
The general feeling in aviation
circles today was that MacDonald's
failure to reappear anywhere on
this side of the Atlantic was a sign
tht he had gone the way OF many
other intrepid souls who had pittAd
their all against the Atlantic ana
lost.
Daring Attempt
While praise of his daring and
courage was heard on all sides,
many made no attempt to hide the
fact that they thought MacDon-
aids attempt to emulate Lindbergh
in so small a plane. with an open
cockpit and no wireless, was fool.
hardy.
All shipping along the course he
was to have traversed has been
asked to be on the lookout for the
