But few months have elapsed since a sudden storm at Echterdingen utterly destroyed one of the most marvellous products of the human brain and hand, thereby inflicting a severe disappointment on the hopes of the German nation and the civilised world at large. The sequel to the destruction of Count Zeppelin’s dirigible balloon furnished an inspiring example of patriotic enthusiasm, and one which ef fectually refuted the suggestion so often put for ward in these days that national pride is dead. For hardly had the fateful news been flashed to every corner of the German Empire when a movement, al most unparalleled in its spontaneity, was set afoot to replenish the sadly depleted private purse of the intrepid inventor. From the returns published a few weeks after the inauguration of the Zeppelin fund it would appear that practically every ci tizen of the Empire had contributed his mite— in some cases a very substantial one—to the great cause, and less than a month after the disaster Count Zeppelin found himself in possession of a vast sum of money with which to continue the prosecution of his great work. That no time has been lost by the devoted band of workers at Friedrichshafen, from the Count himself down to the humblest me chanic, in retrieving the Echterdingen misfortune is proved by the remarkably successful series of trials carried out last week with the renovated airship “Zeppelin I.,” in which both Prince Henry of Prussia and the: Crown Prince of Germany have made trips. We gather from information to hand from the scene of the experiments that, the new. airship falls little short of its famous but ill-starred predecessor, so far as speed and manoeuvring capabilities are con cerned. These were exhibited to their best advantage when on Saturday, the airship punctually kept an appointment with the German Emperor at Donau- eschingen, and the Crown Prince, seated in the car of this wonderful craft, was enabled to cast down to his august father a message giving details of his highly interesting journey in the clouds. It was in deed a dramatic moment, and the aged- nobleman who has devoted his life to the solution of an almost insurmountable problem must on Saturday have felt himself repaid in great measure for the crushing disappointment he suffered last summer when the unruly elements made rude sport of his marvellous creation. But while the world is unanimous in offering its congratulations to Count Zeppelin on his fresh achievement, it is greatly divided in its opinions of the practicability of his system as applied to ferial navigation in general. In spite of the vast bulk and complicated construction of the Zeppelin model its lifting powers are very limited. Furthermore, the necessary sacrifice of strength made to lightness renders the airship unsuited to withstand the force of wind and storm, while the extensive surface of fered to conflicting currents of air by the flimsy gas chambers is an undeniable element of weakness. These defects are, of course, a feature of every bal loon, no matter on what principle it is constructed, and since there is apparently no method by which they can be eliminated, the advocates of the aeroplane continue to assert the superiority of the heavier- than-air apparatus over all other systems. The aero plane, it is true, has numerous and solid advantages over its bulky rival, chief among which is its com plete detachment from gas as a buoyant agent. It is thus to a great extent self-supporting, whereas the balloon’s radius is limited to the duration of its gas capacity. All these and many other vexed ques tions are now being exhaustively discussed by lead ing scientists everywhere, and this fact is an addi tional indication of the universal interest which the problem of aerial navigation is arousing today. As the nineteenth century was the Golden Age of steam, so will the twentieth century be marked by vast strides made in the direction of victory over un substantial ether. It is interesting to recollect the prophecy of Mother Shipton of Knaresboro’, made in the fifteenth century. This famous old soothsayer predicted many future wonders, including the rail road and the automobile, and even went to the ex tent of saying that men would eventually “fly like birds.” With some slight modifications even this last prophecy may be said to have come true, as witness the exploits of the Wright brothers, Far- man, Delagrange, and others. We still believe the time to be far distant when ocean liners will be H. G. B. Peters Established 1885. Furriers Exclusively.

GENERAL NEWS. NEWS FROM ENGLAND. FAMOUS ELECTRICAL ENGINEER DEAD. London, November 8. Professor William Edward Ayrton, the distinguish ed electrical engineer, died today. He entered the Indian Telegraph Service in 1867; was Professor of Natural Philosophy and Telegraphy in the Imperial College of Engineering from 1873; Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Central Technical Col lege, South Kensington since 1884; President of the Physical Society 1891-92; President of the Institution of Electrical Engineers 1892; Dean of Central Tech nical College 1904. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF A HIGH INDIAN OFFICIAL. Calcutta, November 8. Sir A. H. Leith Fraser, the Lieutenant Governor of Bengal, narrowly escaped death at the hands of an assasin yesterday evening. While he was read ing a newspaper a young Bengali suddenly approach ed him, »held a revolver to his chest, and pulled the trigger twice. Both cartridges missed fire, and the man was seized before he could fire a third shot. While this was happening, a number of Bengalees who were standing near the spot ran off. It is sup posed that they were accomplices. BRITISH VICTORY IN THE SOUDAN. Cairo, November 8. A detachment of British Troops which was sent under the command of a Major against some in surgent tribes in the South of Kordofan, came up with the hostile force on the 3rd instant and stormed their position on Passu Hill, capturing a number of chiefs. The British loss was one officer and two men killed, and twenty-four wounded. BRITAIN’S SIXTH “DREADNOUGHT” LAUNCHED. London, November 8. The sixth battleship of the “Dreadnought” type was successfully launched at Devonport yesterday and received the name of “Collingwood” at the hands of Mrs. Asquith, wife of the Prime Minister. The launching tools—hammer and chisel—were presented to Mrs. Asquith in an oak casket made from the wood of one of the men-of-war which took part in the battle of Trafalgar. Inside the lid of the box is a water-colour drawing of the “Colling wood” as she will appear when afloat. Outside the carved panels show the old ship of this name, launch ed 26 years ago, and now on the sale list, and the new one, forming an effective contrast, as well as an illustration of the progress which has since been made. The following details of the new battleship are officially supplied, and for the purpose of showing the great progress which has been made in the de sign of warships during the last twenty years, corres ponding particulars are given of the second ship named “Collingwood”, built at Pembroke Dock, and now lying in the East Kyle of Bute, for sale:— “Collingwood.” “Collingwood.” 1908. 1886.

New York press reports state that the Chinese Le gation at Washington has confirmed the cabled an nouncement in the Herald that the Special Mission to America, headed by Tong-Shao-Yi, sailed from Tokio on Thursday for San Francisco. He is at tended by an imposing suite, and comes to America with the reported prestige of having settled with the Japanese Government a number of difficult out standing questions. Attempts are being made to show that Tong’s Mis sion includes the task of negotiating some sort of an alliance between the United States and China, but this is denied in the best informed quarters. His duty primarily is to thank the United States Govern ment for its generous action in foregoing a large part of the Boxer indemnity. He will afterwards visit the chief cities of the Union, and will then proceed to London. , By a courious coincidence the announcement of the mission’s departure from Tokio appeared in. the New York newspapers on Friday cheek by jowl with an authoritative denial from Washington of current reports as to an intention on the* part of the Adminis tration to modify the law as to the exclusion of Asiatics. It is declared that there is no idea either of modifying the law or of lessening the stringency of the immigration regulations. President Roosevelt has no desire to arouse the hostility of organised labour during the remaining months of his term at the White House, and Mr. Taft may be trusted not to court such trouble until, at any rate, he has had time to get accustomed to the cares and responsibilities of the Presidency. PROSPERITY WAVE PREDICTED. New York, November 7. The returns from Maryland are known. Of its eight electoral votes the State has given six to Mr. Bryan, and two to Mr. Taft, with the result that the new President must be credited with 321 votes, as against his opponent’s 162. The National Association of Manufacturers pre dicts that before January work will have been found for some 500,000 unemployed, as the result of the “prosperity wavie.” It is stated that Mr. William Loeb’ Mr. Roose velt’s secretary, is likely to be the new Naval Secre tary.. 4,000 FLEET OF FLAME. New York, November 8. According to telegrams published here, the volcano of Villarisa, in Chile, is in active eruption, and pre sents an awe-inspiring spectacle. Flames are being, ejected from the crater to a height of 4,000 feet. (Continued on page 2.)
