Airship Builders
Present Craze Has Many In
teresting Phases Baldwin
Von Zeppelin the Wright
Brothers and Farman
T
HE airship craze has now reach
ed that interesting and tan
talizing period where a half
dozen inventors and syndicates
are on the verge of demonstrating that
aerial craft can be safely and reliably
used for commercial purposes but
which inventor will be the fortunate
one to hit on the solution to the prob
lems now existing no one can tell
Some are certain that Count von Zep
pelin the German expert will be the
lucky man to be hailed by posterity
as the man who actually gave mankind
the mastery of the air Others remem
ber the work of Santos Dumont He
however has ceased practically all his
operations of late
Captain Thomas S Baldwin has his
supporters too and many of them
owing to the work of his dirigible war
balloon and other models The Wright
brothers of Toledo Herring of New
York and various French experiment
ers expand the list of men who may
at any moment win undying glory by
taking the airship entirely out of the
experimental processes and establish
ing It as a matured product
Probably the greatest evidence of
the wide public interest in airships
was provided when Count von Zep
pelins magnificent craft the No 4
was destroyed in Germany near Lake
Constance When the news was flash
ed throughout Germany that the Von
Zeppelin machine had been demolished
and partly burned during a thunder
storm a score of city governments im
mediately proceeded to appropriate
money for the count The Emperor
William himself had the imperial gov
ernment send the count 125000 im
mediately and a public subscription
list was started for the purpose of
raising an additional 300000 At this
writing most of this 300000 has been
pledged and a large percentage paid in
There are two general types of air
shipsthose which are buoyant by con
struction and those which are kept
above ground only through the use of
power The first class necessarily in
cludes balloons whose use makes the
specific gravity of the whole airship

less than that of air by reason of
which a balloon airship floats in the
air as a boat floats on water The
other type to which the Farman ma
chine belongs is dependent for its
buoyancy wholly on mechanical means
and not on specific gravity The
Wright machines which were devel
oped in Ohio and offered for sale to
France belong to the second class in
that their buoyancy depends on me
chanical means
The Baldwin dirigible is now believ
ed to have found more favor with the
American government than any other
craft The recent trial of the flier at
Fort Myer Ya under the supervision
of government officials was pronounc
ed a success The craft flew three
miles under perfect control and came
back to its starting point after per
forming intricate maneuvers Lieuten
ant Frank B Lahui a daring aero
naut and experimenter is given credit
for the present activity of the United
States government in balloon develop
ment The war department now con
templates spending millions of dollars
on the advancement of war balloons
experiment stations and observation
plants
The United States signal service now
has a balloon squad made up of aerial
experts and the squad is rapidly In
creasing in size
Great Britains development of the
airship for purposes of war is being
followed with the keenest interest by
military observers of all the nations
of the world The British govern
ment is apparently as open and above
board in conducting its experiments as
we are in this country The British
army has an airship that recently cov
ered seven miles in the London sub
urbs The craft can carry three men
and is equipped with two seventy
horsepower quadruple engines

Won Her a Diadum
How did the French come Into Sici
ly A woman did it At a festive en
tertainment held at a French court
Beatrice countess of Savoy and wife
of Charles of Anjou the brother of
Louis IX of France was removed
from the superior range of seats oc
cupied by her two younger sisters
the queen of France and the queen of
England Mortified by the humiliation
she returned to her apartments and
burst into tears Upon learning the
cause of her chagrin and her saying
that she would be able to give up her
life to confine her tresses for one hour
beneath a diadem Charles embraced
her affectionately and said Set your
heart at rest countess for before long
I will make you a greater queen than
either of your sisters So he prom
ised her He defeated Manfred the
last of the Norman kings and caused
Conradino the great grandson of the
Emperor Frederick to be mercilessly
slain he himself and Beatrice witness
ing the scene Upon the death of his
brother Charles became king of Na
ples thus fulfilling the cherished de
sire of his wife for a diadem
The Vrist and the Arm
The real wrist as one might say is
the elbow joint It is all hand prac
tically speaking from thatpoint to the
tips of the fingers When you turn
your wrist it is the whole forearm
that makes the twist and every move
ment of the fingers is controlled by the
muscles of the forearm The power
to turn the wrist to and fro at the el
bow joint Is possessed only by human
beings and monkeys and even the
higher apes are not able to do the trick
nearly as well as we can In this
movement the great biceps muscle
in the upper arm is importantly con
cerned its powerful actipn in turning
the forearm outward being accounta
ble for the fact that we are able to
put so much more strength into a twist
In that direction than the opposite
way Many of our most familiar tools
indeed such as the screwdrher are
made with reference to the anatomical
peculiarity in question It is for this
reason and no other that all screws
turn to the right
Reed and Strout
Thomas E Reed served in the navy
during the civil war and in 1SG3 he
returned to Portland to practice laAV
One of the strongest men at the Port
land bar at the time was A A Strout
Before beginning the trial of a suit It
was Strouts habit to inquire of every
juror as to the state of his health and
impress each with the idea that the
lawyer was solicitous of that jurors
personal welfare Iteed and Strout
were constantly antagonizing each
other though they were very good
friends In nearly every case of im
portance Strout and Reed were on op
posite sides It was annoying indeed
for the suave Strout to hear Reed
drawl out before the opening of a
case
Well your honor Brother Strout
having finished his morning task of
shaking hands with the jury we may
now I hope proceed with the busi
ness of the court
Beating Women
If it is true that national adages
give an insight into the ideas of a peo
ple says the Berlin Radical women
must occupy a strange position in Rus
sia One of these old saws runs Love
your wife as much as your mule and
another tells the good man Shake your
wife as you would a fruit tree That
woman is not considered frail is shown
by the adage You may safely beat
your wife with a broom handle for
she is not made of porcelain Beat
ing must be considered a wholesome
pastime to judge from the saying If
your -rife deserves a beating in the
morning remind her of her faults by
giving her another at noon In jus
tification of this kind of attention the
Russian says The more a man beats
his wife the better his meals will be
The Sea Serpent Myth
It is possible even probable that the
sea serpent myth started in all good

enormous cables several hundred feet
long and as thick as a good sized tree
trunk Such cables washed out to sea

but his writings and remarks accord

that he has lived to an advanced age
