$4,000 square feet. The structural steel in the
doors alone weighs Q 400 tons and in the shell
of the building and the shops 1900 TONS
The ceremony Of laying the ring began with
the opening Of the huge doors to the public for
the first time, while bands played and naval
officers in gold braid and blue led the throngs
into the building. The great master ring of the
ship, which will form the widest part Of the
girth of the great hull, was laid out horizontally
on the floor. The ceremony took place within
the ring, which was large enough to accommo-
date 500 guests of honor.
THE first stage in construction of the dirigible
- will be the raising of the ring to a vertical
position and the fabrication of other rings,
which will form the hun, and the joining Of
the whole with horizontal Orders. The master
ring is 185 feet In diameter, constructed Of
duralumin and triangular In cross section. The
Navy Department will conduct thorough tests
with the first section Of the dirigible framework
to determine whether their calculations have
been correct. These tests probably will continue
throughout the Winter and well into next
Summer.
The first dirigible Is not to be completed
before the end of 1880 and possibly not until
the middle of the following year. The sister
ship is to be completed in 1884, and both of
them viii be In the National Capital for the

These planes will be launched by trapeze ar
rangement lowered through great doors in the
bottom of the huh. The planes may he
launched or picked up In flight, serving to de-
fend the mother ship or to act as speedy scouts
or messengers.
The Navy Department has been conducting
extensive tests with the Los Angeles in the
launching and attaching of airplanes in flight
climaxing the tests with a successful demon
stration before 10000 persons at the national
air races in Cleveland e few weeks ago. This
demonstration included the first transfer in
history of a passenger from dirigib.e to an
airplane in fight.

Manufacture of Nails.

THE manufacture of nails dates back three
centuries to Birmingham, England, where
the work was carried on by hand for many
years. At one time as many as $4,000 men,
women and children were engaged in the
manufacture Of handmade nails. Gradually,
with the perfecting Of machinery the hand
made nail was eliminated, and with the inven-
ton Of the wire nail machinery, passed out
completely, except for the horseshoe nail,
which is a cut nail.
Hundreds Of thousands Of tons of wire are
now used annually In the United States in the
manufacture of nails. The wire is fed into
the machine from reel after which it is cut,
headed and pointed and finally rolled out
straight. The Matchmaking machines can turn
out as many as 500 nails a minute, depending
upon their size

PROPONENTS Of the new dirigibles declare
that their service In the event Of war will

Is @ claimed that ten such ships rs those
which have been ordered by the Navy could
efBeetuaIly patrol the Atlantic Ocean and abso-
luteay prevent any concentrated movement by
surprise against the American coast.
The index Of size Of an airship is its capacity
for holding lifting gas. The size" Of the Los
Angeles Is approximately 2.500,0O0 cubic feet Of
helium gas. The Graf Zeppelin, now the larg-
est airship In the world is limited TO 100000
cubic feet. This capacity however, is cut down
by the fact that fuel gas is carried In several
cells 10 feed her i've engines, whereas liquid
fuel Is used in the American ships.

That even greater dirigibles viii be built IN
the near future Is predicted by Lieut.. Comdr.
O. T. RoSendahl, former commander of the Los
Angeles, who now Is training crews for the two
nav super dirigibles.
40 not make up your minds that the Los
Angeles, the Graf Zeppelin, the British R-l00
and R-10l, or even our own new ZRS-4, to be
finished IN the Summer of 1881, are really large
airShips" Comdr. Rosendahl said in Navy day
radio address. I'VE know that as we increase
the &ize Of airships we increase their efficiency
and can make them faster, stronger and OF
greater range and carrying power. Experienced
designers ten US that we can build airships up
TO ct least 100000 cubic feet capacity, or
nix times the size Of the Los Angeles, with in
creased efficiency
