WEDNESDAY, INVENTOR IS ■H BIG AIH MACHINE Immense Aeroplane Will Carry 300 Pounds and Fly 500 Miles Without a Stop. ABOUT 1500 LBS WEIGHS He Claims to Have Made the First “Heavier-Than-Ari" Machine Flown. Special Dispatch. Rochester, if. Y., Aug. 31. —A large airship is being constructed in this city by John F. Cooley of New York. The inventor believes it will carry 2000 to 3000 pounds besides his own weight, and will fly 500 miles without stop ping. The airship is 80 feet long and weighs about 1500 pounds. The lines of the body of the ship are torpedo shape. Canvas covers the body com pletely, even enveloping the- engines and the seats of the operators. The forward and main sails are made of a special waterproof silk, there being about 1400 feet of it. The sails are stretched above and perpen dicular to the three sections of the ship. The shape of the car and the po sition of the sails are expected to elim inate resistance to the wind. Spruce of the lightest weight forms the frame work of the ship. It will be equipped with two light Elbridge engines having a total horsepower of 120, and will have two specially adapt ed propellers. A small model of the ship was re leased on a string one afternoon re cently in the meadows at South Park, and its behavior as it soared upward indicated that the big ship will be any thing but a disappointment. When in terviewed about his ship Mr. Cooley said: “ For the past 22 years I have been studying and preparing for the task which is now almost completed in the shed. “Fifteen years ago I had a ship in the air in this city, flying from the Scottsville road across the Geneseo river into a- elump of trees in Genesee Valley park, where the ship was dam aged.' Many defects in the first ma chine were noticeable, and since that time I have been busy correcting them. And, by the way, to my knowledge that flight of fifteen years ago was the first of its kind in the world’s his tory. “Officials of New York City offer ed me every inducement to finish my work on Governor’s island, but I camo to this city last September on account of the excellence of the airship en gines made here. “My craft is a true airship, greatly differing from the flying machines of Curtiss and others, in that it follows the laws of nature and does not re quire balancing. All the weight is be low the center of gravity, below the sails, and, therefore, the aeroplane can not upset. Comparing the flying ma chine type of aeroplane to a motocy cle, this aeroplane would bear compar ison to the automobile. It is the first machine in which the operators are en tirely enclosed.’’ The Cooley airship is to be entered in several speed contests after its ini tial flight from the Genesee Valley park meadows. Early in October Mr. Cooley intends to take part in the New York to St. Louis contests. He also contemplates an attempt to cross the ocean to England. Mr. Cooley says he will enter the contest for the $15,000 Gould prize, which goes to the owner of the most perfect and practical heavier-than-air machine designed and operated in this country and equipped with two or more complete power plants (separate motors and propellers) so connected that cither power plant may be oper ated independently or that they may be operated together. The inventor is backed by the Cooley Aerial Naviga tion company.

Last Visible Remembrance of Johns town Flood to Be Wiped Out By Re sumption of Work In Mill. Associated Press. . Pittsburg, Aug. 31. —It developed in steel circles yesterday that one of the industries wiped out by the Johns town flood of 1888 was to be resumed at once. The intelligence came about through the placing of contracts for the j construction of new mills on the Site! of those destroyed by the flood and 1 which has since been about the only sear caused by the waters that is visi ble. The Cambria iron works will resume the manufacture of wire, which it once shipped far and wide over the coun try. Sgince the partial destruction of its I plants the company has developed along ' lines of heavier tonnage. By force of I necessity to meet increasing demand for; steel in other finished lines, the com pany allowed the old wire mill to re main a memory of the “days before the flood.” Alamo Auditing Company, rooms 412-13 Gibbs building.
