Describes New Airship
William H. Knight described the new
type of airship which Prof. Lowe pro
poses to build and wtiii h whs illus
trated by stereoptlcon views, captain
Slotterbeck told of the praotlcal work
being carried out by the aeronautical
squad of the signal corps and the
squad's system of aerial records,
"We have found," be Wild, "a. neces
sity lor much pioneer work in mnn
dardlzing our aeronautical records, and
as the time devoted to the National
truanl must bo taken mainly outside
of regular avocation the aeronautical
squad can take up only a small part
of the work at one time. We. Lave
succeeded in devising a- system of
aerial charts and maps for balloon
work which gives a fairly complete
record a3 to currents and conditions
prevailing. This has co far pro
gressed that the balloon courses taken
on military ascensions conducted by
the squad in September and October
last wero accurately predicted in ad
vance by ono of the yquad's pilots.
Much of tho Information we gather
must necessarily be held as confiden
tial through Us military Importance In
time Of need, but I can give you the
following example* of what iho data
we have gathered so far demonstrates
regarding the current! above Los An

travel inland with a drifting balloon
or to go toward the sea and at tho

will be Important in connection with
the great strategic value, of the passes
offering approach to Los A.Ugeles, but

Lowe Airship Described
William H. Spalding gave the first
public account of tho now airship
Prof. Lowe has designed as a freighter
and aerlaj liner, and which he says
easily can make the transcontinental
trip eastward from Los Angeles. After
giving a historical account of the ad
vancement made In ballooning, Mr.
Hpalding said, turning to the modern
airship proposed by Prof. Lowe:
"The ample experience of the past,
a survey Of tho numerous experiments
of the present and a correct analysis
of the problems to be met in the
future, carries us back to the old
globular balloon for maximum buoy
ancy, "f redundant weight In
the construction, minimum resistance

.suitable motor, efficiency of control
as to horizontal and vertical move
ments.
"We come now to a new type of air
ship which will be known as the
Volant, invented and perfected by
Prof. T, S. ('. Lowe, who baa success
fully developed many other valuable
Inventions, and who has had a longer
and wider experience in the science of
aeronautics than any other living per
son, now, or m the past.

"To appreciate tin- sustaining ;
of a hydrogen balloon it Is necessary
to refer to some Interesting flgur
applied to an important principle of
aerostation.
Lifting Power Explained
"One thousand i übli feet of the air

"With airships of smaller dimensions

points of Interest.
Repair Shop on Board
"Two screw propellers will be pro
vided for i i' h ear; one to produce a
swift horizontal motion and the other
to absolutely regulate tho vertical mo
tion. Should either motor get out of
order both propellers can be geared to
the remaining one, and the perfectly
equipped repair shop and mechanical
engineer on hoard will quickly restore
the machinery to a perfect condition.
Or, If desired, the Volaut can descend
LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 13, 1009,
and make repairs at the nearest con
venient city.
"In stormy weather the Volant will
rise above the storm Into the bright
sunshine. But it may encounter strong
winds without harm, for the gravi
tational .strain on the part of the car
anil the buoyant (train on the part of

Future Is Forecasted
"Our Volant i:- annouivrd to leave
Its station in Elyalan park March 15,
1910, at 12 o'clock. An Immense con
course has assembled to witness its
flight. Its list of twenty passengers
ami its crew of ten scientific and op
erating men has been published in
the morning papers, not only local
and along the < Hies of the scheduled
route, but throughout this country and
Europe. Its grappling irons are re
-1 and away it flies, truly, like a
thing of life.
"In a few moments the kodaks of
Pomona and Ontario are taking snap
shots at this leviathan of the air. A
little later every face In Redlandi and
Riverside is upturned and every eye
noting its wonderful flight. Through
the passes of the lofty San Bernardino
range it wends its airy course, start
ling the ' • condors in their
mountain eyries. High over the Mo
desert and the gUamlng Colorado
river It flies, then bending Its course
to the northward follows the windings
of that wonderful gorge—the Grand
canyon. Hera the passengers gain
their first view of the most thrilling
scenes In that profound Cleft in the
earth's surface, and from a vantage
point unimagintid by Maj. Powell, who
first penetrated Its deep mysteries.
"As we proceed on our novel and
delightful journey there looms in the
distance a portentous storm. If we
were on a railway or ocean steamer
we should be compelled to plunge di
rectly through It and take whatever
consequences might ensue. Shall wo
turn back and wait till the fury of
| the storm is over? Oh, no. We Im
mediately rlso above the* storm cloud
Into the bright sunshlno and glide se
renely toward our destination, mean
while watching the fitful play of the
lightning Hashes below and listening
to the deep-toned thunder as its ro
verberatlons roll harmlessly from
cloud to cloud in the thick elemental
conflict beneath us.
"But look yonder! What are those
beautiful objects flitting about so gayly
above the storm-cloud, bathing thoir
bright hued wings In the warm sun
shine? Ah, they are buttertlles, dart
ing hither and thither as if they were
hovering over the petals of a flower
garden. How did they get here, a
mile above the earth, and what are
they seeking in the untenanted sky?
Instinct has taught them, when the
storm gathers, to do just what season
has prompted us to do—to soar abovo
and bask in the beautiful sunshine.
This remarkable phenomenon was of
ten witnessed by Prof. Lowe In his
early balloon excursions.
Wireless Telegraph a Factor
And while the great airship is noiso
lessly speeding its way over city and
streams, wooded valley and rugged
mountain barrier, the wireless tele
graph on board ia sending messages of
its progress. Consequently, the. people
of Salt Lake City are apprised of the
hour of approach to that locality, and
are thronging the public square to
welcome its advent. Here the Volant
makes its first landing, 800 miles frpm
its starting point; takes in refresh
ments and supplies, rests on terra flrma
for an hour or so, then the passengers
re-embark to proceed on their way till
they reach the next stage of their
Journey at Denver, where they will
receive a like welcome.
And there receptions will be repeated,
with rnrying and novel changes of
scene and of civic method of cele
brating an event so unique, at Omaha,
at Chicago, at Cleveland, and at Buf
falo, or, at St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pitts
burg, and Philadelphia, and tlnally, af
ter traversing a continent, the long
heralded "Volant 1 will descend into a
suburban park of New York, amid B
throng of 150,000 people— as large and
enthusiastic aa that which gathered
at Berlin on a like occasion several
months ago, to honor the arrival of
Count Zeppelin in his huge air craft.
War Time Records Produced
Some of the extracts from Mr. Spald
lng's account of Prof. Lowe's work in
the civil war. showing the great value
of tne balloon, are as follows, taken
from Prof. Lowe's military reports:
"Knowing the importance of obser
vations from Falls church the balloon
wag let up by ropes to a sufficient al
titude to ascertain that it was safe to
proceed. We then advanced two miles
further to Bailey's cross-roads, where
I was Informed by the residents that a
rebel ecouting party had Just left,
having seen the balloon and supposing
that a large force accompalned it. Af
ter stopping a few minutes we pro
ceeded to Falls church, where the bal
loon was kept In constant use for two
days more, during which time Gen.
Tyler sent up an officer, who sketched
a fine map of the surrounding coun
try and observed the movements of
the enemy.
"During my observations (from Fort
Corcoran), I discovered the enemey
for the first time butldlng earthworks
on Munson's hill and Clark's hill and
also saw their movements along th 3
entire line. In the afternoon I moved
the balloon to Ball's cross-roads and
there took several observations, dur
ing which the enemy opened their bat
terles on the balloon and several shots
passed by it and struck the ground
beyond.
"These shots," said Mr. Spaldlng,
"were the nearest to the United BtaMl
capltol that were fired by the enemy
during the war."

Holland Bay, Jamaica, Nov. 12.—From
the fragmentary reports arriving here
from the countryside, tho danage re
sulting from the storms and Hoods that
raged throughout this Island last Fri
day is enormous. A portion of the
railway and the coast line on the north
sldo of the island havo been seriously

are no signs of the weather breaking.
Communication was established to
day with the north coast by steamer.
All telegraph wires are down and
messages are being sent from Kingston
to the cable house by boat.
The banana plantations In the north
end northeastern portions of the Island
have been swept l.y the storms. Thou
sands of acres of troea have been lev

HURRICANE DEVASTATES
TOWNS AND RAILROADS
IN ISLAND OF JAMAICA
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.—A groat hur
rlcMM swept Jamaica Wednesday, do
ing much damage. The extent of tho

several daya, was made known late this
afternoon in a inwin received by the
Ceneral and South American Telegraph
company from the wireless operator on
board the steamer Prinzes August Wil
h<»lin in Kingston.
The message was forwarded by way
of the telegraph company's station at
Fisherman's Point, Guantanamo bay,

floated. No damage to Wllhelm.' "
The Norwegian steamer Mount Ver
non, which arrived today from Port
Maria and Port Antonio, Jamaica, re
ported before the steamer left Port
Antonio November 5, a heavy, north

Mount Vernon sailed developed Into a
violent hurricane with tremendous
squalls stirring up high seas. Tho
storm lasted four days.
TORRENTIAL RAINS FALL AT
KINGSTON, 10 INCHES DAILY
KINGSTON. Jamaica, via Holland
Bay, Nov. 12.—Torrential rains, cans-
Ing rerious floods, have fallen here since
last Friday. The downpour continues,
the dally full averaging ten Inches.
Hallway and electric car operations
have been disorganized and telegraphic
communication Is possible only with the
western part of the island. Many
Irow rings are reported und the prop
erty loss is heavy.
Kr< ni the ni'ager facts obtainable it
is known that landslides have oc
curred throughout the north and that
In thi' eastern section of the island
railroad bridges have been washed
away. Loss of life Is reported, though
no estimate can be made.
Rnormous damage has been done to

Numerous sloops have been lost off
the coast. The Norwegian steamer
Amanda and the Bradford of the
T'nited Fruit company are ashore at
Port Antonio.

COLON, Panama, Nov. 12.—Heavy
ruins have fallen here since Wednesday
night, the total precipitation up to
noon today being nine inches. Yester
day six inches of rain fell. The cable
to P.ull bar, Jamaica, apparently is
intact, and it is presumed the operators
are unable to reach the cable house,
which probably is Isolated by the
storm.
Hurricane Moves Toward Bahamas |
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—The trop
ical disturbance which undoubtedly
has caused considerable damage on
the Island of Jamaica since last Satur
day was moving slowly today toward
the Windward passasre and was head
ing almost directly for the Bahamas
and Bermudas. The disturbance Is
nearer to Hayti than to Cuba, and re
porta to the weather bureau indicate
it is moving very slowly. Meteoro
logical experts of the weather bureau
said they believed the. storm had lin
gered over Jamaica for some days.
Most of the damage to the Island must
have resulted from the heavy rains
which accompanied the storm rather
than from wind.
Communication Cut Off
NEW YORK. Nov. 12.—Communica

BABY RESTLESS
AND SUFFERING
With Severe Eczema—Spread from
Face All Over Scalp—Developed
into a Solid Scab and Her Ears
Seemed Ready to Come Off.
PERMANENTLY CURED
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES
" Mt baby suffered about three weeks
and she was in a Tery bad oonditinn.
The eocema com
menced on her
face and spread
all over the scalp.
It was a solid soab
and sore, and her
little ears looked
as though they
would come off.
She was Tery fret
ful and could rest
but Tery little.
She would rub her
little ears and
head muoh of thn
time. She looked
awfully bad. Wa
then heard of tha
Cuticura Reme
dies and I bought
A
some Cutieur* Roan and Cuticura, Oint
ment aad I decided to give them a trial.
I used two oakes of Cutloura Soap and on*
box of Cuticura Ointment. At the time I
oommenoed to use the Cutloura Home
die* she was In a Tery bad fix. I began
th* treatment bjr bathing with Cutloura
Hoap three time* a day and also used
Cutioura Ointment after each bath, and
it waa but a raw days before we began to
find out she was linproTing. She con
tinued to improTe and in about thro*
weeks she was entirely cured and has
not been troubled with any ikin disease
slnos. She was at thrit time about threa
months old and she it now three rears
and two months and is a fine, fat babr
girl. I will gladly reoommend th» Cuti
oura Remedies to any one who Is suffer
ing from that terrible disease and I gire
to Cuticura many thanks. I will gladly
tell of her oure to any one who will ask
or write about it. Mrs. M. M. Reynolds,
