can he 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 bo 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 lias his supporters too and many of them owing to the work of his dirigible wai balloon ard other models The Wright brothers of Toledo Herring of New York ami various Frencli experiment ers expand the list of men who may at any moment win undying glory bv 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 airship was provided wliei Count von Zep poMnVs magnificent craft the Xo 4 was destroyed in Germany
