Show THE AIR SHIP DIDN'T FLY. Tha Inventor wa Kather Gloomy bat Found an E100.se for the Failure, Chicago, Jan. 80 Last night was the time set for the first public test of the muc'h-talked-of Mount Carmel air ship. A crowd of newspaper men and others having invitations gathered in the exposition building, and saw, high above their heads, floating about in an apparently aimless fashion, a strange cigar-shaped craft. After considerable bobbing around and a bound or two toward to-ward the roof, the model was hauled down, and the exhibitiou was prematurely prema-turely over. The inveutor, Mr. Pen-niogton, Pen-niogton, gloomily said that tomorrow there would be no "hilch." The storage battery, be said, was insufficiently insuffici-ently charged. |
