Lurirty Think, tie Hs. a Unelilne to Novi
gntt* the Air.-
T»ov, Sept. 12.—The w.vt Troy ge
nius, Timothy Luddy, has sii.-miy la
bored for twenty years in perfecting
plans to naVTgute tile air. His brain hoi
brought forth a combination of balloon
and air ship.
According to the statement of Mr,
Lnddy and his friends, he has at last
succeeded in rigging a machine that
will go to the clouds and remain there
long enough to be wufted thousands of
miles by an ordinary wind.
The inventor’s air ship consists of two
huge cigar-shaped balloons, pointed at
both ends,-V, It.Iong and 8 ft. in circum
ference at the largest part. Under the
balloons is a car about 43 feet long,
curely tautened by ropes. Rudders are
fixed to each end of the car and are
shifted at will by the pilot, who may
sit at either end. according to the direc
tion of the ship’s motion. At each end
of the craft is a propeller to help lift
and hold tiie ship iu the air and to
steady it iu case of accident to the bal
loons.
The tower which Is expected to move
Lnddy's air ship at the sjieed of the
wind is a miniature electric motor, now
sail r ug at the Eaison works. The bal
loons ure of ulainininm. Everything
about the cruft suggests strength and
elasticity. Buddy’s air ship seems to
meet tiie requirements for a light ship,
simple and firmly built. Tue mass of
intricate machinery has been uispeiised
with. By this air ship, Mr. Lnddy ex
pects. tiie tourist may cross the coun
try, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, in
two days. __

of south Georgia. *

more acres will thns be added to Okla

it will include an area about two aud

a* it now stands. Yea, we will have a

tribes. Counting them we have now
