Latest Progress Made in Aeronautics
OFFERS WELLMAN
A HUGE AIRSHIP
SIRCH TRANSPORT MAY BE
USED IN NORTH
LOS ANGELES INVENTOR PROF-I
FERS RIGID DIRIGIBLE
Does Away with Gas Making and
Combines Great Strength with Ex.
treme Lightness and High
Lifting Power
Charlemagne \V. Sirch, the Los An
geles electrical authority and aeronau
tical inventor, has written to Walter
Wellman offering to place at his dis
posal the "Sirch transport," which em
bodies many desirable features for nn
airship designed to reach the north
pole. Among these are great strength
through a Steel frame with tensile
strain in construction, giving n rigid
dirigible; freedom from dependence on
hydrogen gas or any gas making plant,
yet with as much or more lifting 1 >v r
as any gas vessel; a flreproofed en
velope which may he safely deflated
and reinflated at any point in the
Journey, and a control radically dif
ferent from that in any airship yet
built, which should be an advantage on
a polar expedition. ,
Mr. Sirch's airship embodies so many
features at variance with aeronautical
customs that he has spent considerable
time in having his calculations and
ideas verified by experts and authori
ties! and none of these has found them
unsatisfactory. Several of the most
prominpnt western engineers and aero
nautical authorities known all over the
world have passed on the "Slrch trans
port" and approved the plans.
The airship is designed to dispense
with gasmaking by substituting air
heated by radiation to a point where It
will have a sustaining power equal to
or greater than hydrogen gas. A curve
plotted by Mr. Slrch from his experi
ments show that at a temperature of
440 degrees air is expanded to lift a load
equivalent to that of hydrogen gas.
The "Birch transport" is planned as in
the Zeppelin class, being a true airship
and not a balloon with power attached.
Mr. Sirch believes that his alrshop
offers unusual advantages for the use<
of the Weliman expedition, and being
desirous of seeing the honor of disdver
ing the p°le. go to America he has ol
fered to aid Mr. Weliman in every way
possible. A "Slrch transport" may be
constructed in much less time for a
great deal less money than a Zeppelin.
Which adds to its desirability.
Efforts have been made repeatedly by
Mr. Sirch to gain opportunity to demon
strate his airship to the United States
government, but he has been ruled out
m far because the war department has
refused to allow any competition ex
cept from airships utilizing hydrogen
gns. All attempts to break beyond this
rule hnve been unsuccessful.

Show Interesting Records by Most
Critical Portion of Air Craft
The "heart of the air craft.'' the mo
tor, had unusual tests nt Rheims last
week, and special interest attaches to
the kinds installed in the machines
ontend. Ordinary and rotary motors
were both tried.
"1 am taking with me the most
powerful motor ever put into an aero
plane," said Glenn Curtiss, Just before
leaving New York for France. His
motor was a 11)09 Curtiss aeronautical,
eight cylinders, water cooled, v shaped
cylinders with one carburetor for all
of them. The total weight i - 8.67
pounds per horse power. Jl Is con
nected by direct drive to a six-foot
propeller. At !9-hor«e power the pro
peller gave ~80 pound* thrust.
The Anzani motor, which Mas used
by Bleriot at Rheims and across the
channel, ha.s but three cylinders, with
the central one vertical and the other
two inclined left and right at an angle
of sixty degrees. It is air cooled and
has a well known automobile carbu
retor with make and break Ignition and
current from storage batteries.
Latham's Antoinette motor lias ei>,-ht
cylinders, water cooled. The Gnome
motor, mentioned prominently in the
dispatches, is a seven-cylinder rotary
engine.

Haute. Ind.
The test suit of the Wright brothers
against the Herring-Curtis* Interests is
mainly based on the claim of patent
control of flexible tips which.have so
far been a feature of every diplane
manufactured. This claim includes not
only warping the planes, but the use
of wine tips of any description, and If
successfully carried through the courts
it will have the effect of giving the
Wrights a monopoly on biplane con
struction along present approved lines. !
The Air Craft club Of Peoria has of
ficially decided that the balloon race
from that city, in which three balloons j
wore entered, was won by H. B.
Honeywell of St. Louis in the 35,000
cubic foot balloon Peoria, who landed
230 miles away at Dixon, Mo., after
seventeen hours in the air.
A feature of the military maneuvers
recently conducted in Massachusetts
was the war reporting from the Bos
ton Traveler's balloon, which at one
time hung over the battlefield in a

A race in which a thousand yachts
will attempt to capture a balloon will
! take place at New York in the second
week of September. Leo Stevens will
pilot the balloon, which he will bring
down in the san or inland waters
according to the direction taken, and
yachts will be watching along the
coast and in the inner waters. The
first yachtsman to pass his cord to
Pilot Stevens will be the prize winner.

MORAL AND LEGAL HONOR
COMPARED IN NEW YORK
John D. Rockefeller Used as Example
of Men Who Are Unable to
Make Distinction
John D. Rockefeller is quoted In one
of the Sunday papers as having said:
"When a man has accumulated a sum
of money within the law, that is to say
in a legally honest way, the people no
longer have any right to share in the
earnings resulting from that accumu
lation." •
It is a striking characteristic of a
man of strict personal morality, says
the Wall Street Journal in a recent
issue, that he had never been able to
see the difference between legal honesty
iind moral honesty. It is also to Mr,
Rockefeller's credit that he define! the
methods Whereby the Standard Oil
combination and an which it lr-pliei
were created as being "legally honest."
They were certainly morally indefen
sible.
Here is the remarkable case of a man
who is a good husband and father, be
nevolent along large lines, personally
humane, pious rather than religious, in
many ways a most desirable citizen;
who yet cannot see that there is any
thing morally wrong in an action
which the law does not punish. It
would be impossible, moreover, to
make Mr. Rockefeller see the differ
ence, and that not from any forward
ness or prejudice on his part, but from
a kind of moral myopia which blind*
him to facts most of us find self
evident.
It is probable that the law does not
directly Influence, sanction or control
more than five per cent of the actions
of a mans life. They arc apart from
the law and beyond its reach. The law
cannot make a man moral or even hon
est, and he may break the rules of
morality nnd honesty in many ways
without coming within reach of a
statute.
But Mr. Rockefeller says that the
people have no right to share in the
enrnings of "legally honest" accumu
lations. It will astonish that worthy
gentleman to hear it, but this is flat
footed anarchy. The accumulation is
miide with the sanction and under the
protection of tile people. It could not
have been even "legally honest" save
that society made it legally possible.
So far from owing nothing to the peo
ple, Mr. Rockefeller owes everything,
,-ifter a fair deduction for his very fine
brains and administrative ability. This
is not Socialism. It is the practical
working law of good mor.ils in the re
lation of society to the Individual and
the reciprocal obligation of the Indi
vidual to society.
It is curious that the richer a man
gets the m >re he hates paying taxes.
i Mr. Rockefeller does not want to pay
an income tax. No doubt he would not
be the richest man In America now if
he had not made it his rule through
' life to pay out as little of that kind
Jof money as possible. This is all his
I argument really amounts to. but w.>
are indebted to it for a curious piece of
.upif-revelation. It shows us a sincere
I desire to do well, accompanied by a
moral conception hardly more than em
, bryonie.

"VOTE THE BONDS!"
CRY AT LONG BEACH
PROGRESSIVE CITIZENS WAGE
WARM CAMPAIGN
Proposed That City Purchase Water
Frontage Along Harbor and Build
Docks, Total Expense Being
$245,000
[Special lo The Herald.]
LONG BEACH, Aug. 29.—"Vote the
bonds" is the slogan of the progressive
citizens in the campaign which is to
end next Friday, September 3. More
interest centers in the election which
will be held on that date than in any
other bond election ever held here.
The question at stake is whether or
not the city shall buy water frontage
along the local harbor and build docks,
the total expense being $245,000. The
opposition is believed to have decreased
gradually as the voter's have become
enlightened, and unjess there is op
position now 111 quarters entirely unex
pected the carrying of the bonds by a
big majority is certain.
The bonds proposed to be voted are
40-year bonds, which will bear 4% per
cent interest. The Los Angeles Dock
and Terminal company has an option
to the city of I-ong Beach April 23 of
this year to buy the two pieces of
water frontage now proposed to be
bought In the option the company
agrees to give a sufficient depth of
water in channel No. 3 and in the ocean
entrance of the harbor. The depth to
be given in the channel is twenty-one
feet and later thirty feet, while a i'l
foot depth Is guaranteed for the ocean
entrance! An 11-foot depth lias been
secured already in the ocean entrance,
and tomorrow the dredger will stall on
the second cut, making the entrance
eighteen feet deep.
