HIS NEW AIRSHIP.

His new airship is so far on its way to com- pletion that he expects to go cruising for a week at a time over Europe this summer in an airship that will be a floating bouSD (→

The aerial yacht is not designed for high speed. Therefore its balloon need not be cylindrical. I am even making it egg-shaped. The balloon envelope of this aerial yacht- an 1 may call it—is being sewed. Its car is built. Its boiler and condenser are being con- structed. Its motor is ordered. Its propellers exist.

Beneath an egg-shaped ballon, slightly less elongated than the balloon of my "No. 9,” will be seen hanging what looks like a little house with a balcony window running half its length on each side. The balcony window will chars acterise the open, or observation, room of the floating house, or car; and in it the motor will have its place. Behind it is the closed sleep. ing and reposing raam; in front will be an | open platfrom holding the steam-producing boiler."

The balloon ought to be two hundred metres long and twenty-eight metres in is greatest diameter. It would be propelled through the air by thirty propellers, cach worked by a separate petroleum motor of one hundred horse-power. This would give `a total of three thousand horse-power, sufficient to impart to the airship'a steady high speed of as much as one hundred kilometres per hour. To withstand the exterior and interior pressure corresponding to such speed, the ballon en velope ought to be composed of twenty-six thicknesses of Lyons silk properly superposed and varnished,

With a balloon of such fifting power, enough fuel could be carried to make one thousand kilometres at full speed, or from three to four thousand kilometres at reduced speed, and there would remain enough lifting power to
