726 Main St., Richmond, Indiana

By Sidney Bowman. New York, Jan. S. In considering the subject of aeronautics I think it is Just as well to start by telling the difference between what is commonly call

ed an air ship and what is commonly called a flying machine. There seems to be some confusion in the public mind as to the proper distinction be-; tween these two very different objects, j An airship is really a dirigible bal-, loon and a dirigible balloon is & motor-propelled gas bag, usually shaped , more or less like a cigar, that is capa-1 ble of full control in the atmosphere subject to the power of its motor and ', the strength of the wind and can be j raised or lowered or 6teered sideways' by the use of its two rudders. It can J be really and truly called an airship. I

and is not in any sense a flying machine for the reason that it does not fly; it merely floats in the atmosphere due to the fact that its hydrogen-filled bag is lighter than air. The flying machine is any of the various types of aeroplanes, is not in any sense an airship, for the. reason that it is purely and essentially a machine, and has nothing of the qualities of the ship about it; it actually flies supported and propelled by its own inherent power. These two different types of aeronautical transporters are filling now and will fill in the future two very different kinds of usefulness; the airship with its qualities for remaining a long while in the air, with its ability to rise to any height, mounting to several thousand feet, to carry a number of passengers at the present time, and its great reliability will in all probability be a regular staple passenger carrier; in addition to its undoubted great value for special service in time of war. The flying machine will always, in the opinion of aeronautical experts, make it a very valuable article of convenience for pleasure, for passengercarrying, transportation, and for service in war; for pleasure purposes It will probably be the "touring car" of the future. Airships at the present time have demonstrated their ability to stay up and render service !n almost all kinds of weather. Count Zeppelin's allnight trip of last summer, when he passed through and maintained bis equilibrium in a very severe storm, comes to my mind at the present writing. The making of gas-tight compartments in the gas container of airships, whether the gas container be made of metal or of cloth. Is a long step in the right direction. The need of this gas tight compartment was made very em

phatic last fall when the breaking of propeller on the French Government airship Republique caused the wreck

of the ship and the death of four French officers on account of the blade

of the propeller ripping the gas bag.

The big new Clement-Bayard, which

is being built for the British, govern

ment at the present time, is the first of the cloth gas bags to be made up In gas tight compartments. This new

ship, with two motors and two pro

pellers, is being equipped with a transmission box. practically the same as in an automobile, on each propeller shaft, so that each propeller can get speed or power, whichever is needed the most.

according to its wants. Each trans

mission box or gear case contains three

speeds and a reverse.

To give some idea as to what extent

the alrshiD or dirigible balloon has

grown, I would like to state that one day last August while I was on my way in a railroad train from the City of Rhelms to the aviation field, which was about four miles out of Rheims I suddenly heard the puff of a motor;

it sounded somewhat different to me than an automobile motor. Upon looking out and then up I noticed a large ship the "Colonel Renard" on its way from Rheims to the aviation fieldabout 3u0 feet in the air to the right of the train. It flew as straight as the railroad track and was going about twenty-five miles an hour just about

the same as the train. hen I dis

mounted from the train at the aviation

field the -Colonel Renard," was a little in advance, making a wide circle

over the grandstand, where, after mak

lng several circuits of the course. It

came down and was put in Its nan gar.

The aeroplane of which the success

ful ones at the present time are dl

vided into two types, the monoplane

and the biplane. Is very much lighter

and faster and, I think, more Interest

ing and sporty than the larger, slower.

heavier, and more cumbersome nrotn

er. the airship. The aeroplane will nmhablv be the "town or suburban

car" of the future; its lightness, slm

plicity. speed, and Its comparatively small expense, all tend to this belief. They are really almost like birds, and I saw a picture of a new one In the paper the other day constructed or about to be constructed by Melville D.

ComDton. which in addition to Its sta

tlonary wings has an extra set of wings a good deal like a bird with which the inventor can rise directly from and alight directly on the ground without the necessity of leaving or approaching the earth at a very obtuce angle as Is necessary at the present time. Some avUtors have gone even further than comparing their ae-

roDlanes to birds for instance. San

tos-Dumont of PstIs. who has named b!a new monoplane tie -Demoiselle,"

in English the "Dragon Fly."

Both of these types of aeroplanes

have attained very high speed. There

Is an official record of a speed or mty

four miles an hour, and Santos-Dumont

claims to have traveled In his Dragon

Fly as fast as sixty mile? an hour. Of

the two different types or aeroplanes

the monoplane, and the biplane, the monoplane. Judging from the aviation championships at Rheims and from the impretsion that these two types made upon the spectators. Is the more romantic and artistic and fascinating. To watch the famous Internationa! aviators in the air sitting on the beck of their monoplanes just behind the

planes. It seemed as thotgb they wrr riding on the back of a great, big bird just behind the wtn$, steering and controlling the wonderful fligtt of these "man-driven kites" as they circled around the field at different heights with their wc-aderfu! carves and dips at high speed. At one tint one of them caught up with a t.aia which was travelin on the railroad which ran across the aviation fied. and passed it, leaving it far in the rear In a very few minutes. With the improvements that are naturally bound to come lu tne course of a few years in tbes-s wonderful living machines with the reduction la the sise which is already in evidence In Santos-Pumont3 Demoiselle, which has a spread of less than rH square feet, with the addition In safety ud control, one will very soon be able to make short journeys of cnywhere from ten to fifty miles an! take a friend along with him in his flying machine.

As proof of this we can point to the flight of Henry Latham a month or so ago. who flew from his home at Chalons. France, to keep a luncheon and shooting engagement with a friend of his nineteen miles away. He made the nineteen miles In about thirty titluutes. and after the luncbecn and the

shoot were over again mounted his monoplane and flew heme.

The flight of Wilbur n'Hght at the

recent Hudson-Fulton celebration from

Governors Island to Grant's Tomb, and

back was certainly a surprise for all Manhattanltes. and effectually settled

a great many "doubting Thomases."

For scout work and reconnoltering In

time of war the aeroplane will undoubtedly prove most valuable, and undoubtedly In a short time it mill be so Improved that it can be carried on the decks of "warships so that It ran rise Immediately from the deck and do perhaps what might be called torpedo work In the air.

London. Jan. 7. Americans visiting

London, to whom Westminister Abbey is always the first "sight to be "taken In." will find a new attraction

there when the next tourist season sets in.

The ancient "Chapel of the Pyx," a

little low vaulted chamber beneath the ancient dormitory, has been opened to the public, although strictly guarded, locked, bolted and barred for centuries.

This Chapel Is the largest remaining fragment of the original abbey built in Edward the Confessor's time. Formerly It was used as a treasure

house for the royal regalia (now housed

at the Tower of London) and for the standard coins of the realm (long

since iraosierrea to ia ivayai umi. Two huge oaken chests with threo locks each which contained the crown jewels, still remain In the dimly HghU ed chamber. The chapel Is not beautiful, but its antiquity and mediaeval mustlness make It a sure attraction for American girle who have read up history, as all American girls who come to England do.

The Germans are laying the foundations for Increased foreign trad by more attention to the teaching of languages In the public schools.

An electric driven screwdriver, an electric portable hammer and an electric window waaber hare been invented.
