OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER, 14, 1906.
Von Zeppelin
And His Airship
Kaficst Dirigible Balloon tvcr Constructed
and Successfully Ised Sixteen Sep
arate Envelopes For Gds-Cdn ics
Nine People With Ease.
IIK biggust airship that ever
soared Into the empyrean U
Couut vou Zeppelin's latest
model, which recently mad
two successful trial trips lu German
atmosphere. This vessel is as big aa au
ocean steamship and speedier than the
average of such craft. She can sail
from eighteen to thirty miles an hour.
The length of tha vessel Is 430 feet and
the diameter about forty feet. Sho car
rier two Daimler motors of eighty-live
horsepower each, by far the greatest
horsepower ever applied to an airship, i
The hydrogeu gas aupply that buoyi '
ber up is calculated to last for 120 ;
houra. Thus If conditions are favora- j
ble this ship may fly five days, or long j
enough to cross the ocean from Liver- i
pool to New Vork, at the speed of a j
fast steamship. j
In the construction of this ship Count j
on Zeppelin followed his former plan I
of Inclosing his gag baps In a long !
cylinder of aluminium plates, each bag !
or balloon lu Us separate compart
ment. Independent of all the other.
There are sixteen of these balloons In
the 430 foot cylinder. If one should be
come punctured and colfcipse the oth
ers will keep the ship afloat. Several
of the balloons. In fact. mi;ht be put
out of commission with-it making the
airship useless. This 0 what may be
called an armored cruiser of the air,
the armor being the aluminium platss.
It Is designed by the count primarily
for use la warfare and is therefore a
new type of German war vessel,
though not just yet attached to the im
perial navy or army.
, The old count, now in his sixty-ninth j
year, is undoubtedly the boldest and '
most persistent experimenter In aerial
navigation now living. His experi
ments all have been upon a very large
scale. He has spent his own "private j
fortune, the kaiser has contributed to
-M'-.u.Cia
COCKX VON A'f HlH AliWHIP. ,
lave added their cash to the cause, i
which has consumed several hundred
thousand dollars.
Ferdinand von Zeppelin, in addition
to being a German nobleman, Is a sol
dier of distinction. He rose to the j
rank of lieutenant general In the Ger- i
man army and for years has been chief .
military adviser to the king of Wurt-'
temberg. In the Franco-Prussian war
be won fame as the first Prussian of- j
fleer who crossed the frontier into '
France. He was a noted leader of
Bcouts. Prior to that he had served his ;
fatherland In the United State during !
the civil war as a military attache, and ;
it was in this country in 1SG4 that he
made his first balloon ascensions. Bal ,
loons were used by our government to
some extent in making military ob
servatlonu. The count went up sever
al times, and that gave Dim a tast" j
for aerial experimenting as to the j
uses of balloons or airships In war. j
During the past ten years Count voit
Zeppelin has done little more than j
build airships and finance propositions J
for building better ones. The present j
ship Is bis third model. The first was j
bought by his government. The sec-;
ond he destroyed, selling the material j
for Junk. Model No. 3, which flew j
around and over the Bodenuee, the :
lake between Switzerland and Baden, j
carrying nine persons in Its two car
rlages, was eight months In building.
Work began last February. At times j
200 workmen were employed day and
night.
The ship was built in a long hall ex
tending out over the waters of the Bo
densee. The floor of the ball was so
constructed as to float outside when
the ship was ready for launching and
float back when It was desired to re
turn the monster to its mansion. The I
vessel went up about a thousand feet
and made a circuit of the lake, crossed
twice and returned to the starting
point, gracefully alighting upon the
platform. This programme was repeat
ed the next day with even greater suc
cess. The first trial was of two hours'
duration and the second of four hours.
The propellers, rudders and motors
worked smoothly on each trial.
In general shape the aluminium cyl
inder lncloEin;: the balloons resembles a
monster torpedo flying through the air.
It oas an advantage In cutting tbe air
In being sharp pointed.
EE HAD TO
BE SHOWN
Kongo Chief With Appendicitis
Objected Like a Missourian to
Unknown Operation.
SLAVES LOSTTBHR APPENDICES
Belgian Surgeon Had to Cut Open and
Cure Twcl.e Healthy Blacks Before
Their Sick Ruler Would Go
Under tbe knife.
Pr. Eiull Maestrlcht, surgeon major
in the Belgian army, stutloued In the
Kongo Tree State, saved the lives of
twelve negroes by operating on them
for appendicitis. None of the negroes
had appendicitis, but they had to be
operated on or be killed with a wax
club.
No surgeon ever faced a more ter
rible responsibility. Imagine an opera
tion for appendicitis in u Jungle, under
an equatorial sun, with no trained
nurses, no surgical appliances, no hos
pital staff, no cleanliness, no means of
keeping down the Inevitable fever!
And yet these were the awful condi
tions under which the youuK surgeon
worked and watched for six sleepless
days and nights, lie worked not only
to save the lives of the twelve dusky
patients, nut to save his own, for he j
feit certain that if even one of the I
twelve died his own life would pay the
forfeit.
It was at a native villuge 100 miles
east of Mugwardle that Dr. Maestrlcht
performed the operations. The lieu
tenant in command of the expedition tc
which the surgeon was attached was
under orders to establish a po-it In th i
' " V. U JV, HIV .U1V. "in til,
Maestrlcht was sent to see him, and by
questions addressed to the chlel
through an Interpreter satisfied hlmsel!
that tLe native potentate was suffer
Ing from appendicitis and must b
operated upon.

order to one of his boys. The boy rat
away and quickly returned with s j
youug woman
"Operate on her iirst, said the chief
.. . , , ,, , . , ..... ,
with a crafty gleam lu las dusky eyes
"If she guts well perhaps I'll believe j
y0U"
The young surgeon protested In vali
that the young woman was not sMt j
but the chief grew suspicious and sale j
that the surgeon had deceived him uric j
wanted to kill him. j
"Operate on the woman, major," ad !
vised the lieutenant. "It's our only
hope of getting away without a light.' !
"Put If she dies';" asked the youni: ;
surgeon anMousiy. ,
The lieutenant puffed his cigarette
lazily. "Well, we'll light and run foi
it then," he said.
The young surgeon performed the op
erutiuu, through which the girl undet
the Influence of chloroform nevei
moved. So still she lay that the chiel
declared she was dead and that th
white mau's doctor had killed ber.
Finally, to the chief's amazement
the seemingly dead girl stirred. Thee
her eves onened languidly. Aftel
awhile she was able to speak in i
weak voice. The chief asked her sev
eral questions, which sho answered.
"It's the work of the evil spirit," as
serted the chief. "She says the white
man's doctor's knife never hurt her
She didn't feel it."
Still the chief was not satlsfled. lit
sent for another slave, and then anoth
er, until the surgeon had operated oi
twelve persons without killing them.
At last he was convinced and con
sented to be operated on. Not only dk
the chief recover, but all of his twelf
appendlxless subjects wove-
