SELIG’S BATTLESHIPS II THE clonus Strmany's Famoui Airships Possibly your impression o f a Zeppelin is that it is a cigar-shap ed balloon with propelling appara tus added. The large envelope of a Zeppelin dirgible is not entirely^ filled with gas, but contains in stead sixteen separate "balloon- etts,” each o f which is filled with hydrogen. Thus a shot may pjerce the envelope without bring ing the airship to earth. Half of the balloonets must be punctured before a Zeppelin can be brought down. A Zeppelin of the latest known type measures four hund red feet in length and fifty in diameter. The frame that sup ports the envelope is constructed o f aluminum. Because of its rigid construction, it is possible to mount the propellers on the envel ope.
