While Zeppelin was devoting his time to dirigible construction Dr. Eok ner was contributing articles to the rranaiurier eiiung, many ot wnicn pronounoed.. Zeppelin's theories. Im- praotloable. He referred to them as the "air castles of an air count." But In 1906, after the wreoklng of Zep pelin's third dirigible, the student and the sky-dreamer met. CHAPTER IV "(VC a spring morning of the year 1906, as 1 was working in the garden of my house in Friedrichshaf en, my cook came running, towards me and said: 'Count Zeppelin is here and wants to talk to you!' She was quite excited, for Count Zeppelin was already at that time a well known personality, perhaps not so much fam ous as considered an original, for he was a cavalrv general who had got the idea into his head that he wanted to fly, and had already experienced manv disappointments." Thus begins the story of what proved to oe a momentous meeting between Dr. Eckener and Count Zep pelin, as it was dictated by Dr. Eck ener when he was in New York re cently at the close of his round-the-world flight. It waa the first meeting between the student with the call of the sea In his blood and the dreamer who would ride tbc clouds. Dr. Eckener was then more than 40 years old, and bad devoted nis recent years entirely to the study of econ omics and writing. His hsd been the secluded life ot tne student, .epoet in's the active life of an army offi cer. Zepoelin was now tne strug gling inventor, Eckener the critic. One was silvery-haired and aging, the other in the full vigor of life. It was s clear spring morning. The waters of Constance, the lake which was to be made famoua by these two men. glistened a clear blue in the early sunlight. But. to return to Tr. Eck'ener's dictated description of wbst was said and done: "I told the cook to bring the Connt to the hon. I quickly made myself i a little tidy and went into the room where I found the Count waiting. He arose and without further prelim inaries, showed me a pace of a news paper and asked: 'Tud you write this?" "It was an article in the Frankfur ter Zeitung. I answered in the af firmative, for I had, indeed, made a report in that paper with regard to the latest disaster of Count Zen- fielin's airship, the stranding of same n the Allgaeu, in a very objective. and for the person of the Count, a veryfriendly way. "The Count continued: 1 thank you for what you say about me per sonally in this article. I am glad to have met vou at last, since we have been trying to find out for a long time who might be the author ot tne re norta about my flights in the Frank furter Zeitung that are signed "Dr. E." Tour reports are friendly and hrove of technical knowledge but they contain some erroneous concep tions, and I have come to give you som information in thia respect.' "We discussed a few questions, and the Count said on leaving: 'Do you play chesa? If so, I would like to in vite you to a game one day when I am in Friedrichshafen: then we can best talk over my affairs.' 'I answered In the affirmative, and. reallv, n few days later a groom from the hotel came to me, inviting me, in the name of the Count, to aupper and a following game of chees. This was reneated auite often in the course of the next few weeke and we became eood friends. I oecame more ann more interested in the plans of Count Zeppelin. Ttto or three months later I hap pened to meet Count Zeppelin in the early evening on the street In Fried richshafen. lie greeted me, ana i mnnn nnttcerf thftt he VII In B de pressed state of mind. He then told me tnat ne was in grvar. himujii.' and did not know any way out. "As a result of the revolution tr Russia, where the Countess pos sessed vast estates, he hsd lost most nt hta fortune.

Old and ?ear flleribl manuscripts and short working hours in the Brit ish museum were two difficulties which Dr. Donald Barnes, professor of history at the Vniversity of Ore gon, surmounted during the past year to obtaiu material for a book.
