Stronger and lighter engines, less cumbersome construction, finproves| 5 ments in propellers, rudders, &c., give the latest airship models increased q Gracefulness. Yet it is difficult to discover any material progress toward the practicable passenger airship which is the inventor's goal. What) Knabenshue is doing Santos-Dumont has done, and that is but a short} stép ahead of the Renard and Krebe experiments of 1884. | The dirigible balloon, so far from being a novelty, is half a century | old, Gifford, in 1852, having attained a speed of six miles an hour with) one, making use of a three horse-power steam engine. Tissandier, in 4884, made seven miles an hour with a small electric motor. Schwartz, | in 1885, using a sixteen horse-power benzine motor, developed a speed} of seventeen miles. Santos-Dumont, in 1901, covered seven miles in thirty minutes. Stanley-Spencer, the English aeronaut, on Sept. 19, 1902, made a thirty-mile trip over the suburbs of London in a seventy-five-fout aerostat. The novelty of his airship was the use of the propeller in front. Putting aside the spectacular features of Knabenshue's five-mile flight in thirty-three minutes on Wednesday, the demonstration was only a twice- told tale of aeronautics. By a coincidence the Baldwin airship made a mile in three minutes at Portland, Ore., on the same day. But airships with which a ten-mile breeze “‘plays all sorts of pranks, buffeting first one way and then the other,” are at best only aerial play- things. Their only profitable uses in their present state of development are as aerial warships, from which dynamite may be dropped down on a helpless enemy from a height out of range of his guns. The extraordinary activity of the airship inventor is to be noted. In , France, England, Austria and Germany his name is legion, and included in| the list are men of high attainments in science. The number of American | 3 inventors brought to light by the St. Louis Fair contests was large; New York’s own local supply is considerable. Are they pursuing a will-of-the-wisp? The law of gravity has so far baffled them. The apparent impossibility of bringing carrying capacity and bulk within reasonably proportionate dimensions is the fatal stumbling | block. Lebaudy contrived an airship which would lift 5,800 pounds and Baldwin has one under way which he expects to reach a speed of 40 miles an hour. But the commercially available balloon-boat is still in the dim p future. Is it to come, if come it does, in the form of an aeroplane, as Prof. Langley hopes? An inventor who could catch the secret of a bird's sus- tained flight upward on motionless wings would have the clue toa suc- cessful airship. But in the matter of the dirigible balloon, failing a gas which will give increased buoyancy as it is subjected to increased pressure, unwieldy size must continue to make improvements in motors or other mechanisms rank only as unessential details, subordinate to the main Magazine, Fridsy Evening, August 25, 1905.

A young woman who for the last five years has carefully and proudly nourished a hopeless passion celebrated her twenty-fifth birthday the other day, and was suddenly smitten with the sense of panic that particular anniversary brings to the unmarried woman. “Just think!" she said to me in alarm, “I will | soon be an old maid.

Forever wilt thou love and she be falr, Other poets innumerable have wrought similar moonbeam fancies about the unattainable Lady of Dreams. Nevertheless, it seems practically im- possible to convince the average common-sense mortal that luck in love con- sists in not obtaining one’s heart's desire. One might as well try to persuade a small boy that green apples are not good for him, before he has had the colic. And afterward, what ts the use? Women are far easier to convince of the futility of ideals than men. At eighteen or twenty a girl may be disappointed in love.
