AEEIAL NAVIGATION
is a subject which has been the study
of eminent scientific men without
number , and in whose cansa hundred *
of devoted men have sacrificed their
lives. The eclutlon cf the
problem has formed one of the
most fascinating yet difficult questions
that man has ever toiled to unravel
and , to the successful . .toiler , promis
ing a greater reward both of glory and
gold than waa ever yet won by mortal
man.
man.It
It is a fact known to many that there
fa not an old ceronaut now living in
the country , and probably Mr. J.
H. Pierce of this city has
made aa throrough a study of
the science and is as familiar with its
details and pa&t history as any ono
now on this side of the Atlantic. He
has eince 18CG , when ho mada his
first ascension at Indianapolis , devoted
much of his time to the study and for
six or seven years past has labored
over the question of practical asrial
navigation. Among the ascents
made by Mr. Pierce were eight at New
Orleans and a less number at Natchez ,
Vicksbnrg , Memphis , St. Louis , La
fayette and Terre Hmte. His last'as
cent , undertaken at Omaha in 1875 ,
was a partial failure , owing to circum
stances over which he had no control.
Never , however , has Mr. Pierce lost
sight cf the ambition of his life , which
was to constrnct a vessel that conld
navigate tha air and carry a heavy
load In addition to its own weight.
This object has just been achieved ,
and this morning a BEE reporter was
shown a very accurate drawing of
what Is called
" ' "
"PIEECE'S
AEEOSTAT.
The Aerostat resembles somewhat a
gunboat , with sails , cuapendod in mid
air. It is composed of an immense
cigar-shaped gasometer , the point
being the front. It is of thin , one-
eighth- inch copper , braced with ironer
or tteel ribs , and is 700 feet in length
by 100 feet in diameter. It is yacht
rigged and is propelled by two power
ful screws , worked by an engine which
occupies one-seventh of the length of
the vessel , the smoke-stack passing np
through the center. The'screws , as
well KS the large fan-shaped rudder ,
are to be of light ash or heavy canvas ,
and will have a lifting as well as a
propelling power. The masts are
raking and Borro the double purpose
of keeping the ship from foundering
and aiding to keep it up in the air. A
railin ; ; about the upper portion of the
vessel , or hurricane deck , encloses
that part within which the crew work ,
or from which passengers may view
the I country over which the air ship Is
passing. Suspended from the bottom
of the vessel by cablea is the car in
which passengers or freight are car
ried , and which , by an ingenious ar
rangement , is prevented from repeat
ing the oscillations of the ship. Thus
far there is nothing particularly new
In this vessel over ethers constructed
years ago , but the great advantage
is ' in the method devised for
navigating the ? hip at all tiroes and in
any atata of weather , bo it wind or
calm. The vessel is attached by three
steel wire cablei to a single T rail laid
along aa elevated tracmay , which
may vary from a very few to an hun
dred feet in height , according to the
configuration of the territory over
which it passes and possessing a great
advantage in being able to go where
neither the narrow gau6 nor any
other track can climb. The pulley
which attnches to the rail works with
four wheels beneath and two over and
these cables are nsed simply to keep
the ihip before the wind , as can be
done at any time by paying out the
bow line and allowing her hoiJ to
wing to the required quarter. The
rudder is also capable of being shifted
any direction and may be used aa
sail when the cables are all taut and
is not Deeded to guido the vessel.
The friction being almost imper
ceptible , it IB estimated by the inven
tor that the Aerostat will go faster
than any ice yacht , the latter being at
nblo to run 100 miles per hour when
the wind Is only blowing at the xate
twenty miles an hour. In abort
the Aerostat will make over 150 miles
hour with ease. The rail acccom-
modating itself to all inequalities of
surface , all cuts and fills are avoided
and the cost of building is very alight.
Then , too , all danger of accidents is
avoided as In case the cablea clip from
the rail , the car will still float by its
own weight and by backing the en
gine and taking in sail , connection
oould again bajuado in a short time
with the rail at a point beyond the
break. Of course collioions will be
avoided by the use of a double track ,
Kbtu an experiment shall demonstrate
the practicability of the invention.
us CAPACITY.
Professor Wise says : "If we use at
copper in the construction of a bal
loon of 200 feet in diameter , which
weighs one pound per cqniro foot acd
deduct this from its ascensiva power ,
shall have remaining sixty eight
tons of iJgfting power. " This is
based on the uld pear-shaped balloons.
Tfie balloon described herein will have
capacity of abont 268.082,680 feet , °
end an naccntivo power , without
counting its machinery and cargo , of
16,755,200 pounds. Mr. Pierce cal
culates that a VCBEO ! of this size will

GESEEAL APPEAEANCE.
The large drawing of-the airship ,
which was made by Mr. H. G. Con
nor , the artist , presents a startling
yet beautiful appearance. The grace
ful model , the spread of canvas re
sembling the ] wings of the albatross ,
the great funnel pouring forth its vol
ume of emoke , the slender thread ol
iron beneath , which alone connects
the air ship witn things terrestrial ,
imprets one with awe , and the wish is
father to the thought that there was
something more than poetic license in
Tennyson's glimpse into futurity
when he
"Saw the heavens filled with commorc *
Argosies of msgic saila ;
Pilots of the purple twiliijht. "
Dropping down with costly bales. _
"Heard the heavens fill with shontinj ,
And there rained a ghastly dew ,
From the nation's airy navies ,
Grappling in the central blue.
"Far along the world-wide whisper
Of the south wind rushing warm ;
With the standards of the peoples
Plunging through the thunder storm. '
The mind conld scarcely conceive 5
grander eight than a fleet of white
winged air ships engaged in comba
among the clouds , and the Inventor a
a patriotic American reminds ui by
the stars and stripes floating from th
aerostat , that while Brittannla rule

TO BE TESTED.

of transportation has completed hi
work and has the details all down t
a fins point , it will be asked how h

first questions asked by our reporter
and ho was informed that the firs

The inventor has already received
considerable encouragement , and it I
his Intention to begin at the earlies
possible day the construction of th
vessel described. The work wouli
require at least a year's time and an
expense of about $100,000. Seven
years hare been devoted to the per

twenty miles length would be desirable
ble , and this would be built connect

meantime a coveat will be filed in the
patent office at "Washington withon1
delay , to secure to the Inventor tLi
benefit of his discovery , and which

patent.
MERCK'S PLUCK.
While many have given John H
Pierce credit for being somewh *
visionary in his ideas none will deny
that ho has succeeded time and again
in his undertakings which , while im
portant in themselves bave served but
as milestones leading np the gleaming
pathway to the glorious goal to which
his ambitious designs were reaching.
When as a boy of fourteen he was de
tailed as a clerk from General Darin's
staff during the filega of Yicksburg ,
he threa times entered that city and
returned with moat important information
mation , furnishing the data from which
Fort Bill was undermined and blown
np. A fourth trip into the city ro
suited in his capture , though he sub
sequently ercaped. At the close ol
the war he began the study of aerial
navigation , and made successful' as
camions at the places named. Ho is
the inventor cf the rip-cord , now an
indispensable part cf the t qnipment
cfj every well-regulated balloon/and
also of the trail rope , which is need to
ouch great advantage by every balloon
ist in the world. In connection with
the duties of his profession he has
made many and valuable scientific dii
coveries , and Is s member ot the
Philosophical society of Chicago ,
which includes some of the most bril-
iant scientific minds of that city. As
the founder and proprietor of The
Western Magazine , that publication
was secured through him thousands of
subscribers , and was recently moved
to Chicago and sold out at a handsome
profit. Should tbia'ezperlment provo
& success a now name will be written
in the galaxy bright with those of
Frankl'n ' , Morse , EdisOn and a host
of otheri , and another devoted fol
lower of science in her abstruse paths
will receive the reward of worldly
wealth and honor given to those who
make good the golden maxim of "En-
dymhn , "A human being with a set
tled purpose rajst accomplish it , and
nothing c n resist a will that will
stake even existence for its fulfill
ment. "

OATS VS. PLUMS ,
A Curions Case Between Two
'Millard Farmers ,
A Cloud of Witnesses in Jus
tice Wright's Court.
An amusing case Is on trial In the
court of Justice Wright , In which the
parties are two farmers from Millard ,
and the amonnt la controversy about'
$22 only.
The plaintiff , Mr. H. S. Hollenbeck
ones the defendant , Henry Kelaey ,
for the price nf a load of oats sold'
him abont three years ago , which for
some reason to us unknown was never
collected. Mr. Kelaey comes in with
an offset to this claim in the shape of
a bill for thirty bushels of wild plums
at $2 per bushel. On the day first
set for trial the defendant waa not
reidy. On the nexfa date the defend
ant appeared with twelve witnesses ,
prepared to impeach the testimony of
the plaintiff , who thereupon took a
continuance to procnro a few witnesses
himself. They now come to the front
with thlriy'aevan witnesses , who have
been detained already three days on
the case. The first day , the doloud-
anta witnesses came in in wagons , fonr
being required for their transporta
tion. Since the storm they take tha
train and fill one coash chock full each
trip. The plaintiffs bill for railroad
tickets yesterday'mornlng waa.$12.
Smythe and Tato" appear for Ho 1-
lenbeck , while Mr. A. Bobbins of
Papillion , represents Mr. Kelaey.
The plaintiff admits having gathered
two or three sacks of plu-ns each sea
son , batr claims that the plum patch
is public property and that ho had the
permission of Mr. Ezra Millard , the
banker , who owns the land , to gather
plums thore. Mr. Millard is one of
his witnesses. Kelaey claims pay for
the plums on the ground that ho rents
the land on * which the plam patch Is
located of Mr. Millard. The evidence
at last accounts waa largely in favor
of the plaintiff , as is the fact that it
would take about $200 worth of sugar
to put up thirty bushels of plums , an
amount very few farmers would in
vest in the delicacy known as "plum
jam. "
Owing to the fact that several ad
ditional witnesses subpoened for the
defendant were snowed in somewhere
and did not arrive , tha trial was
last evening adjourned until next
Friday a week. The costs are loom-
it g up into hundreds of dollars , and
the probability is that no matter who
wins , the case will ba carried into a
higher court. .
The Railroads.
The late storm which has been gen
eral over this state as well as the east ,
baa resulted in again blockading al !
railroads exceps the main line of the
Union Pacific , which has escaped the
general effects cf combined snow and
wind storms , except as it is indirectly
affected by other lines.
The 0. , B. & Q. train due et 9
o'clock Thursday night was several
hours late , while the Rock Island and
Northwestern were abandoned en
tirely. The Northwestern and Rock
Island trains due here at 9 n. in. yes
terday did not leave Chicago at all
Than day , and the C. , B. & Q , after
going as far as Stnnton , was-snowed
in. The only train Ip yesterday

The U. P. main lns ia open , but the
wires are all down but one , which is
used for company purposes. Tbo
