I'ollee and gendarme* multiplied: peasants spent more on their courts, manufacturers had to maintain their prisons, ami householders were* compelled to keep more dvornlks and fipifN.

Captain Baldwin's p I>riucipai aim was to detormiiio if the f| movements of his ship could be controlled. lie ascertained this could be done quite easily. At a height of about 7<>0 feet he cir- (j, cloil several times around the large park, going both against and with the wind, and moving at various angles. After being up nearly ail hour.

Subsequent trials have also boon made, when it was demonstrated tim< in every revolution of the large pro pellor, and in every tnove of the steeling gear, and of the weights which jj raise or lower the vessel at will, the plans of the inventor have been earned into etYect. The large propellor, hav- , ing two nietailie blades, and nearly six feet in diameter, instead of being placed at the stern, is located at the bow of the frame or car, .as in most recent airships of this type. In this manner the airship, instead of being pushed through the air, is pulled. This j |j facilitates the steering as well as nils- j | liiii <>i umlllll^ ill!' > 11 11). I' '1*1 to balloon, !>y means of which the whole machine is raised, is somewhat blunt cigar-shaped. It measures liftytour foot iu length anil is seventeen J. foot in diameter in the middle.

Tin* bal- t loon Is inllalod with hydrogen gas, and t at an ordinary distension pres>uro contains 80(K) cubic feet. | To this balloon is attached tin- frame ii Which supports the propelling and ,, steering niochanism.
