That is the successful machine. . Mr. McDonnell is striving towards the perfection of a machine which shall combine the principles of the flying machine with that of the buoyant chamber. His machine will,when completed,be supported by a. bag of gas, much as in the case of the others, but it will not depend upon the escape of gas to lower it toward th: earth, for upon that same as to gain fflfe" e evation. The liftingg power 01 . 5 will be three tons, and the weight of the entire machine, ex- clusive‘of the motor, will be two tons. But ‘ the motor alone will weigh 2,500 pounds, so ‘ that the lifting power of the gas will fall 500 pounds short of raising the machine iron; the ground. and-water means of transportation as quite beneath him. He aims to conquer the clouds. There isa man in Chicago who has, if mathematics are true, a plan which will re- sult in the completion of a machine for navigating the air,more successful than any of those that have gone before it. That man is P. E. McDonnell.a machinist and inventor. McDonnell is well knowu among inventors in the west, having produced a number of ingenious contrivances that give him a high rank. He is a native of Chicago, having been born ‘ here just fifty years ago. He is the father of a large family, his sons assisting him in his studies and his labors. a- .1 v“ -â€"â€" vu- And he resolves to gonciuer this 1-bit; oi the elements. No problem in mechanics is so seductive; no task in applied science is so charged with anoble zest, so rich in promises, so perpetually approaching fulfillment.

For more years than any scholar can tell he has been directing his thought by day and hts dreams bynight to the problem of air navigation.

But here the framework which supports the gas bags is a! uesu supply or useless sand need be made Mr. McDonnell has been very fortunate [in the selection of the materials, and has i found one out of which his buoyant chamber is constructed which is almost entirely im- pervious to gas. The best that has so far been achieved in balloon building was a loss of 1 percent. in forty-eight hours. But there is no loss in the Alpha. This is not altogether due to the materialâ€"which is simply a secret coating on the canvas hag confining the gas. It is in a measure at tributable to the fact that in all other In ' chines of this kind the formation of the b caused a constriction upon the volume of - 1- , _._- vâ€"VALV Luau-1111C. Two kinds of economy will be observed in the arrangement of the applied power of this ship. In the first place, as the gas is not allowed to escape in order‘ to lessen the altitude, the gas does not have to be re- newed at intervals. In the second, as sand or other ballast does not have to be carried in order to increase the altitude when de- sired, so no loss for dead weight is ne‘essio‘ tated, and no returns to the earth for a‘ fresh snyply of nseless sand need be maria l A word in connection with the buoyant chamber is interesting. The entire tube is constructed in sections. Each is filled in- dependently of the others. ’1‘here is no communication between them. So if a ‘blow or shot from the gun of an envious mortal on the earth should penetrate the side, letting out the gas in that compart- ment, the strength of the ship would only; be affected by that much ; while in a bal- loon, or in anyof the air ships heretofore constructed, one hole in any part of the ex- tended buoyant chamber would render, worse than useless the entire machine.” m__- 1.: , )7 l' There is another element in the mechan- ism of the Alpha. Along each side of the buoyant chamber, the entire length, runs on each side a curved wing, like a longi- tudinal section of a. cylinder. It also is of strong canvas, strongly supported, and it acts as a. support, resting upon the air, wherever the ship may go. In descents, similarly, it will break the fall, after the principle of the parachute. But its straight lines will enable it to pass without resist- ance through the air when the ship is mov- ing forward or backward. than is necessary to' sustain Elie weight", and as the gas bag alone will not carry the ship it will link just as slowly or as swiftly asjlie engineer wishes. V ‘__â€"'â€"â€"-â€"'v V. VIIV Val .- ier makers, because ‘the power will be ap- plied directly. And there is no danger of the ship turning on its side or rolling clear over in the air, because the action of the blades of the wheels can at all times man- age its movements. The two horizontal- acting wheels could alone counteract any tendency of that kind. And, also, when it is desired to descend to the earth the vertical wheels will simply strike down- ward, but less swiftly, exerting less power than is necessarv to sustain am “an.“ . When completed the Alpha, which Mr. McDonnell has named his machine, will be 212 feet long, and will support a. weight, aside from that of itself and the engines and necessary implements, of fully one ton. Twelve men can be carried without difficul- ty. The cabin in which they will be hopaus is about twenty feet long half as andbroad. It is supplied with windows, seats and all the conveniences of a. modern car or steam- boat cabin. And it will achieve a. speed of thirty-six miles an hour. GAIN A GREAT ADVANTAGE- It will be observed that the car in the Alpha is not lashed ata great distance from the buoyant chamber. It is, in fact, close up against the under side of the bag. By this means none of the power will he lost, as was. the ones in the machines of the earl- tifi. Scholars have found that a. certain area of surface, striking the air at a. certain speed, exerts a‘ certain force. And the totals of these forces exerted by the paddle wheels will constitute the power of the ma- chines. 1 their cams so they would only strike at the proper angle for that purpose. Now, the weight of the entire machine being 500 pounds, or thereabouts, heavier than the buoyant chamber can lift. the power to be gained from the wheels must lift the balance. And this is the problem Mr. McDonnell has had to solve and the problem toward which he has not been afraid to address himself. The figuring of this weight and the power which must raise it is one of the nicest of mathematical cal- cpbtions: But it is a matter of demonstra- , ‘__.._° -v. vvo In Him Exanner the horizontal wheels may be made use of in gaining speed by shifting x .

But there is this difi'erence hetween the paddle wheels of the steamer Just mentioned, and the paddle wheels of the air ship. These double blades strike [with all their breadth in the direction de- sxred. and then close together, as do the Wings of a. butterfly, presenting but the fierrowest surface to the resistance of the air as they return to their position for force, when they are opened again, and gain strike upon the air with all their lift- ing or propelling force. 1’“ 13' shiftied, THE ENGINEER WILL APPEAR IN THE CABIN. agd theyhgels would strike down- the gas in that compart- bh of the ship would only at much ; while in a. bal- ‘ the air ships heretofore hole iq any part of the ex- Australia is if: "world in which no found. .~ Prof. Tyndall is the main who claims that he can hypnotize himself, remain apparently dead for days, and then come back to life.

But it is in the gentler walks of peace that the McDonnell air ship would more 1 vividly appear. No continent so broad that it might not be traversed while two days were passing. No forests so dense that their secrets could be hidden ; no rivers so deep that their riches could elude man’s search. N 0 stress of temperature could be so severe as to penetrate within that cosy cabin, and no storm so severe as to blow it out of its course. The poles and the equator would become equally known and the hidden places of the earth be found. Storm Warnings 1 Storm warnings were first issued in Hol- land in 1860 through M. Buys Ballot. His “ Law oi the Winds” points out the rela- tion between the direction of the wind and the atmospheric pressure. In great Britain the Meteorological Department of the Board of Trade was established in 1855 under Admiral Fitzroy, but it was not until 1861 that they felt justified in issuing warnings as to storms, and on the 6th of February, 1861, the first cautionary or iwarning signals were issued by the office, and first published on the 313:; of July. 1861. The warnings, which were suspend- ed between December, 1866, and N ovem- ber, 1867, were reissued at Christmas, 1867; since which time they have been issued as occasion needed.

MAYBRICKZ" ~ Armies "that now exhaust treasuries would become needless, hepause a single air ship,armed with a quarter ton of dynamite, could rout all enemies, pursue them, drop- ping destruction upon them, hover above them, shattering their forces and finally, with a. sheer might from the heavens, silence all defiance to authority. Think of it in case of a war. You know those lines of Tennyson, referring to the navies which combated above the clouds. Well, that air ship, which can do what the Alpha is destined to do, could be a realiza- tion of that dream. But before so dread a consummation the air ship would have rendered war a. custom known only to the memory, for the power of a single air ship would be greater in destroying armies a. nd cities than could all the fleets and armies of the world. Coast defense would be guaran- teed by half a dozen air ships,in the shadow ‘ of which all the ironclads afloat would be ‘ helpless and full of danger to the very men who managed them. I Think of the benefit science would derive. ? We know comparatively nothing now of the currents of the air. Then they might be studied at any altitude desired. In a. larger ship than that on which Mr. McDonnell is now engaged a higher rate of speed could and would be attained, and a proportion- ately heavier load could be carried. “ The speed of the wind would aetuallyObe ex- ceeded and the problems over winch our meteorological officers have been simply‘ guessmg in the post would reach an easy} and certain solution.
