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.
