Show An Airship to (rein the Oeeun. A remarkable experiment is going on not far from London in a pretty little Kentish town called Bexley. Here a party of American scientists and artisans arti-sans are constructing an airship which is expected to cross the ocean in seven hours. The inventor, capitalists and workers are nearly all from Bridgeport, Conn., and aro confident of success. By invitation 1 ran down there and saw a mysterious mass of metal and machinery, machine-ry, of which I could make nothing intelligible. intel-ligible. I did see models, however, which rose from the table and flow around the interior of tho great work room, describing circles and curves at the will of the sender. If the complete ship does half as vrell aa the model it will revolutionize tho world. Every workman is sworn to absolute ab-solute secrecy, and thus far little or no information as to what the mechanism is has reached the outside world. The superintendent is Hiram Maxim, an American inventor of ability. Next to him are Mr. House and his son, who are both endowed with high inventive talent. tal-ent. Cor. Philadelnhia Time. |
