The English army authorities have
. planned a wonderful dirigible balloon
, carrying a number of smaller craft,
very much as a steamship carries its
lifeboats. "The small craft are fitted

The parent ship will be manoen- '

she will be beyond effective observa

- Preferably the attack will be made
by night The parent' ship will- re

of the enemy's position., "Then a

; less waves will start a little electric
epark on the small craft 'that will

This will light np the enemy's posi

as clear as daylight to t&e watchers

The men below will have a poor

cate exactly the . position.- of the
parent ship, The searchlight spread
ing out over, a great area will not
reveal accurately the spot from which
it comes.. .-. , ; .
It will be possible to steer a small
. craft back to the "parent ship, but
even should one be destroyed its loss
would be Insignificant The effective
$ range of one of these bomb-dropping
craft would be about three miles.
: They would weigh ninety to one hun
dred pounds' each and carry two
bombs apiece.' The system of
steering them would be operated by
means of a swivel beam attached to
the front of the airship with two
motors attached toit " -'..'
, Another arrangement has also been
perfected by which . a parachute : la
vsed by the parent ship in place of
a smaller craft .This baa the ad
vantage of economy, as the para
chute costs much less than the small
craft,' The parachute Is need both to
carry bombs and searchlights.
