PETROL DISCARDED,
As I reflected in the train upon the object of my visit to Fried- richshafen, writes a correspondent to the London Morning Post, I must confess that I still found myself numbered among the sceptics who affirm that the scrap-henp is the only place for the airship. Nor do one's Arst impressions on arriving here tend to dispel doubt...
Walking about half a mile in- land from the Lake, the first view. you get of the works is a long, huge building set in the middle of a cornfield. You enter it, and it In empty. It is the discarded cradle of more primitive Zeppe lins; the modern airship has out- grown ita dimensions::
From its far end you pass into another vast ball, a busy hive of workers melting metal at a dozen furnaces and hammering it at countless lathes. You pass into another, again alive with workers and piled mountain high with metal. Finally, you pass into the largest of all, and there at length you behold the endless festoons of metal which are the skeleton of an alrship to be.
