DESCRIPTION OF ZR-3.
The New York correspondent of The Times has supplied the following des cription of the airship ZR-3. which will be flown to the United States early in the autumn from the Zeppelin works at Friedrichshafen, Germany. It was spe cially built at the expense of the Ger man Government, to take the place of two rigid airships allocated to the United States ander the terms of the Versailles Treaty, Germany's airships, which were part of the war material surrendered in 1918, were destroyed by their crew in their sheds.
In electing to take a single airship equal in volume to the two destroyed, the United States Government stipulat. ed that it should embody the most ad. vanced itens of the Zeppelin engineers, and that it should be of a civil, not military, type. The restrictions imposed upon German building of airships by the Treaty have had the effect of forcing certain phases of aeronautics to be de veloped outside the country. In conse- gumice, there was formed last year a combination of the engineering" skill of the Zeppelin Corporation and the re- sonrees of the American Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. Because of this it happens that the officers who will de- liver the ZR-3 to the United States Government are also officers of the Good year-Zeppelin Company-
According to data furnished by this company, the ZR-3 has a length of 605 feet, ha diameter, 90.06 feet, and its height is 101.68 feet. Es will take 2,472.000 cubic feet of hydrogen gas to inflate it. It is designed to carry at least 20 pas sengers and a liberal quantity of cargo for distances as far as across the Atlantio or farther.

The main structure is of a familar type, with main ring members-in general 49.2 · feet apart-intermediate rings

AN OPERATION AT SEA.
To perform at sen the operation for re- meval of the appendix is unusual, hut the circumstances attending the case re- cently treated in the homeward-bound 8.8. Borda, of the P. & O Cape-Aus tralia Line, invest it with uncommon intereat, says a Loudon paper. On July 25th in lat. 3.15 N., long. 11.35 W., the captain of the Borde received a wire- leas message from the master of the steamer Cooee (Australian Common wealth Line), then 120 miles distant and outward bound, requesting medical ad- vice, for one of his crew who appeared to be dangerously ill. From a "further exchange of messages the surgeon of the Borda-Dr. Ivor Corbett diagnosed appendicitis, and asked to
ace the patient. The commanders arranged an ocean rendezvous in lat. 4 N., long, 12.20 W., the "Borda altered her course, and a few hours later sighted the C'onée right whead.
A high sea was ruoning," but the Borda was madœuvred to a position on the Couce a starboard side and stopped, a boat being sent away from the Baria with the second officer in charge tha surgeon accompanying him. Examina- tion confirmed the surgeon's...wireless diagnosis, and be found that an immed inte operation was necessary. It was not convenient to do it on board the Cnote, and the man, a fireman named Findlay, was transferred to the bout, and thence to the Borde, where next day the appendix was successfully removed, the second officer, Mr. W. A. W. Smith, and a Mr. Charles O'Dell, a passenger, assist ing. Two trained nurses, Miss Loring, a passenger from Durban, and Miss Lonsdale, from Sydney, then took charge of the patient, who was duly loaded in London, and has made a complete re- covery.
