least on the surface of the ocean.) might make a vital difference to an aerial navigator. Air fountains, for example, were "unknown until men began to fly. They then dis- covered what were first known as air pockets, and in the early days af under-powered aircraft many disasters were caused by encounter- ing these vertical currents. The modera aeroplane is not appre- ciably affected by them, thanks to her very high velocity, but the aship rises and falls heavily on getting into an air fountain, bring- ing tremendous stress upon her elongated structure. It is claimed for R.100 that she has sufficient strength to withstand any strnin that may be imposed upon her, by the twisting action of a vertical current.
The science of meteorology "bes made wonderful strides, thanks largely to the necessity for an ex- tended study of it imposed by serial navigation. But, unhappily, it can never be reduced to the category of an exact science. The laws of storms have a nasty habit of disre garding themselves, more particu- larly in tropical regions, where violent spasmodic outbreaks occur without any warning. The sea-chip and the seroplans are capable of meeting the unexpected in the way "of weather to almost any degree, but the airship has her limitations in this respect. Whether it will be possible to extend these limitations to such an extent as to enable her
weather out anything short of abnormal conditions is the problem which the two new British airships will be set to solve. Their most enthusiastic champions must confess that, from the very nature of their design, they must always labour under considerable disabilities. The crucial question is as to whether a dependable standard of safety is attainable. So far ditia has certain- ly not been demonstrated. Given & definite standard of reliability, it will become practicable to discuss the auility of the airship in con- aection with the ighting services. But until this very bigif" has been disposed of-if, indeed; it ever can be disposed of to enumerate the directions in which a grent air cruiser, with a radius of 5,000 miles, would possess distinct advantages over an aeroplane is so far pre- mature as to be little more than a waste of time.-Naval and Mili tary Record.
