MlIE nlrship craze has uow reach

talizing period where a half
dozen inventors and syndicates
arc on the verge of demonstrating that
aerial craft 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

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

was destroyed in Germany near Lake
Constance When the news was flash

money for the count The Emperor
William Amself had life Imperial gov

list was startod for the purpose of
raising an -additional r000fi0 At this
writing most of this 100000 has bee
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

which a balloon airship tloats in the

other type to which the Farman ma
