It is stated that the Argerican airships of the same kind as the Roma are to be five meters shorter than the Italian vessel bought by America, so that they can be sheltered in the American hangars. Signor Usuelli is planning larger dirigibles for Italy. “I intend to start immediately the construction of another dirig measuring 46,000 cubic meters, larges that can enter the present Ttalian hangars,” he said. “This new ship will replace the Roma, but will be able to fly without alighting al- most twice as long. “My mext great construction will be a super-giant, semi-rigid dirigible, for the construction of which 1 must await the arrival from Germany of three colossal hangars assigned to Ttaly. 1 shall then build an airship 220 meters in length, 34 in height and 120.000 cubic meters in volume. It will be equipped with twenty-four motors of 250 horsepower each, of which only one-third will be in use at a time. The other two-thirds will be kept in reserve, so that each motor will werk only six or seven Rours, and will have from ten to twelve hours for rest and cleaning.
