I]IBIGiB[ES GIJETLY Great Vessel for War, but Price | Is Prohibitive. Difficulties Confronting Great Britaln In Organizing an Effective Flest of Airships—Plliots Are Very Hard to Find. London.—For some time past it has been very difficult to make people think in anything but terms of dread- ! | naughts and superdreadnaughts. Now, however the topic of thought, so to | speak, is slowly but perceptibly veern | ing, and we are beginning to think ia | terms of dirigibles. Almost every pa- | per that comes to hand has an article { in it pointing out the great value of the rigid airship and the necessity of building a large number of this type of aerial craft. There can be no doubt as to our need of this class of : alr vessel, but few persons realize the extreémé cdsilines§ of buflding the rigid dirfgible and keeping it in an efficient state.

There is no gainsaying the fact that, as compared with any other kind of aerial craft, the rigid dirigible is the afr vessel of today.

You drilled into the very place you put that probe! Couldn’t you see the hole and keep out of it? Oh, it aches so!” She sat up and held the towel to her cheek disconsolately. “Do you know,” she began again, “gvery dentist I've ever had I simply ! hate! 80 brutal, so inhuman!

The Zeppelin airships, too, are extremely heavy. The lifting ca pacity of Zeppelin L 1 {s twenty-seven tons, but owing to its own great weight its useful load is only some seven tons. As regards tne comstruction of the rigid airship, in this type of air ves sel the shape of its envelope is not dependent ‘on internal gas pressure. A huge framework, made of aluminum in the case of Zeppelins, is provided { with from seventeen to twenty sep- | arate gas chambers. Attached to the | framework is a keel which, in addition to serving other purposes, aflordli communication between the two cars, the latter carrying the motors, guns, | ! propellers, of which there are four, ' are fixed to the frame above the cars. | The framework is covered with a rub- | bered cloth. The Schutte-Lanz diri- | gible has a wooden framework, as has | also the French rigld Le Spless. The bomb dropping arrangements carried by the Zeppelins are known to ' be accurately sighted. Quite recently the Hansa made excellent practice at | comparatively small targets om the | ground from a height of over 5,000 feet in the air. It is well known, too, | that for attacking other alr craft the | | Zeppelins carry flve guns, probably | machine guns or weapons of small caliber.
