veloped to extract it at eason
able cost. The United States con-
trolls the supply.
Helium is, next to hydrogen, the
lightest gas known. It has more
than 80 percent of the lifting pow
er Of hydrogen. At the same time,
helium does not catch fire under
any circumstances. American air
ships use helium.
The future OF the ships that sail
the sky is uncertain. 1t is possible
that blimps will continue to @be
used to a limited extent. And free
balloons are still being used by
scientists for experimental pur'
poses. 1t seems certain, however,
that the great bulk of the worlds
passenger and freight traffic in
the air will continue to be han
died by heavier-than-air craft.
Compared to the airplane, the air
ship is slow; it is much harder
to handle on the ground; and il
requires much more housing

THE BL1Mp AND ITS USES

The story Of rigid airships, such
as the great zeppelins, was told
in previous articles. There are al
so other types of airships. Some
are called non-rigid. because they
have no framework at all. Others,
supplied with a keel and a few
ribs, are called semi-rigid.
Italy, especially, once led in the
building of such semi-rigid air.
ships. The Norge, in which the
Amundsen Elsworth-Nobile Elk
petition flew across the North
Pole in 1926, was such a ship. So
was the Italia, in which Mobile,
repeating the flight in 1928, crash
ed on the ice, later to be rescued.
In the United States, a whole
fleet of small non-rigid and semi
rigid blimps has been built. In
peacetime they are used for sight
seeing and advertising. In World
War II. Navy blimps proved to
be valuable in guarding the sea-
lanes against U-boat attack.
The history of the word blimp
is interesting. During World War
I, England built a certain type
of small non-rigid airship. At that
time, non-rigid airships were call
ed limp airships by English fly
ing men. This particular type was
as the B-limp, which quick
ly became blimp.
For years, all balloons and air
ships were inflated with hydrogen
Or with the cheaper Illuminating
gas, which contains a large pro-
portion Of hydrogen. Hydrogen is
the lightest gas known and thus
gives the greatest amount OF lift
for its volume. However, hydro
gen is also very dangerous to use,
for it easily catches fire.
Many balloon and airship dis
asters have been due to this
