British experts, seeking to forecast the future potentialities of air
craft, seem to agree that it is to the airship of rigid construction, not to
the airplane, that one must look for the maximum of commercial useful
ness, writes a foreign correspondent of the Ohio State Journal. . :
The limitations of airplanes designed on present principles are defi
nitely known. Technically it is an accepted fact that aa airplane cannot
be produced which is capable of transporting a commercially adequate
lead for a longer nonstop flight than 1,000 miles. For practical purposes
500 to 800 miles are regarded as the workable limits. "
But the prospects of airships are much less easy to diagnose. .It is
recognised that rigid airships can fly Jor distances of 2,500 miles carrying
a commercial load of approximately fifteen tons, and that they are enabled
to undertake long flights now believed to be impossible of attainment by
airplanes airships is accompanied by greater rela-
that tive efficiency, but the medium-sized airships have greater advantages it is

Magnetic Eyes Needed to
Make a Good Impression
A winking, blinking, and wandering
eye will never Influence people ; there- 5
fore It Is of great Importance that these .
organs should be trained to their Dest
condition. The person who would use
the power of fascination, says G. H.
Brately, In "The Art of Fascination,"
must acquire a determined look. An
empty stare should be avoided,' for it
can never carry any Influence; neither
will a fierce and impudent one fasci
nate, though It may repel. The magnet
ic gaze must be steady, quiet, pene
trating, and determined. In conversa
tion, look into the eyes of the person
rflimiv nnd steadily, or fix your eyes on
the organ of Individuality, which ls be
tween the eyebrows. Speak all your
thoughts clearly and distinctly. Think
them as well as speak them.
