After $30,000 for an experimental line between hardly as many weeks of successful! ying Zeppelin finds the nation’s purse open to him. The navigation of the air has many amazing features, Gravity ‘has been nullified. New areas are added to man’s dominion. But what more, extraordinary feat is day reality? Where but yesterday the skyline, drifting helplessly about, now dirigible airships appear al- most in flocks, all obedient to the helm and traversing, in the case of Zeppelin’s craft, a scheduled route at a speed which it took the loco- motive years to attain. To Germany belong the pres- ent honors. But a race in which the Wright Brothers’ aeroplane, the new Baldwin airship and the Farman ma chine are entered is not yet conclud- ed. England, France and America are in the contest with Germany in the rivalry of inventive resource there in the history of invention than this sudden taking up of a dream of other centuries and transferring it into an every- an occasional balloon was visible on! | ‘ i C yy | through which the successive national triumphs with the motor car may! ‘be repeated. And to America belongs the credit of the fundamental idea vof the car heavier than the air, the aeroplane, on which centre hopes of | the final conquest of the air. To that Hiram Maxim pointed the way. ‘ Though an invention of peace, the airship has given rise to the worst war scare since the discovery of gunpowder. As a result of its success- ful flight the present concern of Boards of Admiralty is not with new Dreadnaughts, but to devise means of defense against attacks by the new scriptions of England's first fleet of twin-screw aerial men-of-war de- signed to withstand an invasion from the Continent. From that dan- ger America at least is secure, and the experiments with military bal- loons at Washington have more of scientific than practical interest. The most ardent Jingo in his wildest fancy can hardly foresee a time when a fleet of armed airships will cross the Atlantic or Pacific to make a de- scent on our shores, A MAN'S LEGS.
