The Zeppelin company | stands ready to ke its reputation” on the project, : ling to an Am- erican official who has figured prom- inently in the negotiations for the contract recently signed here. This official pointed out, however, that the undertaking strikes no awe in the hearts of the constructors since they already have built larger ships than that now under contract. In fact, he said, they are equipped to produce a Zeppelin of 100,000 or even 120,000 cubic meters, as compared with the ship of 70,000 which they have agreed to build for America. New Construction. Yet the builders recognize the pos- sibility of elements hitherto uncon- trollable entering into construction of [this nature, it is sald, and will en- deavor to profit by careful study of the fate which befell the two gilant airships produced for the United States the past two years in FEng- {land and Italy.

The ma- chine finaly descended at Beach Ha- ven, and the occupants suffered noth- ing worse than a drenching. The airplane had left Atlantic City about 10 o'clock in the morning. 8oon afterward she ran into a tempest in the clouds and for a time wob- bled about uncertainly in the air. Her pilot, W. T. Miller, climbed to a higher altitude in the hope that he could rise above the storm, but the higher the aircraft went the heavier the storm seemed to be. The rain fell in torrents and, driven by a 40- mile-an-hour wind, lashed the air- craft in a manner to bring concern to those aboard. For an hour the craft sailed about with nothing in sight above and be- low but swirling cleuds and thé wind driven dewnpour. Finaly fearing an accident and unable to make progress, Capt. Miller descended. The passengers made their way to a farmhouse, where they received dry clothing and warm food. Thoese aboard iin addition to Capt. Miller were F. Rodriquez, Peggy Marsh and J. Johnson, her dancing partner, and iHare!d Thompson, mechanic. Later when the weather cleared the party flew on to New York. EMPLOYE IS BEATEN.

WEATHER CUTS HAM PRICES. They Show 15 to 20 Per Cent Decline in Last Thirty Days. Chicago, Aug. 4.—Wholesale ham prices have declined 15 to 20 per cent in the last 30 days. Explaining the drop, which has made hams cheaper relatively than other foods, Edward Morris, president of Morris & Co., says the public has not taken ad- vantage of this decrease in cost, and it is only a question of a short time until the consuming public will rea- lize that hams are a bargain, and begin to buy freely. The lack of de- mand, due to cool weather, he regards as responsigle for the decline.
