great problem which' must be fir

such as we know them now, would
become an impossibility,
The Japanese do not appear to
have • made any use of balloons in
their war against the Russians, and.
it is rather difficult. to find a reason
for this; but they have made use
.of man -lifting kites ;exactly-, shriller
oto those I have frequently experi-
mented with, arid which were pur-
-chased by the Japanese Government
from my agent about twelve months
ago. `Those kites are capable .: of
lifting a yuan to an. altitude of about
1,000 feet, and during the South Af-
rican war, experiments were made

photographs of the enemy's lines.
The results -were not very good; but
a camera is not at all necessary f or
that purpose if a man, sent up in
the: air by kites, has a good know-
ledge of what is required, and is
capable of drawing simple, but ac-
curate, plans of the enemy's lilies.
The nation which first gains pos-
session ofa really efficient airship, a
inachine capable of travelling at a
great speed- and remaining in the air
for" hours, will simply revolutionize
warfare.
That time will come when the fly-
ing -machine reaches the sante stage
of evolution as the submarine vessel

seems to me to be entirely, a matter
of .a man giving the subject his whole
attention, with- wealth to back hint
up, -to .evolve a practical airship --a
inuehizre capable of fighting.
An aerial warship would compel
the nations to make drastic altera-
tions in their armaments, in the first
place. For instance, naval guns are
unable to fire upwards -that is, their
upward elevation is every slight, and
they could not concentrate direct fire
on a machine hovering over the ves-
sel; and, to a very large extent, this
applies to 'field artillery. It would
become essfential to introduce an en-
tirely new weapon into both Services

The arming of an aerial warship
sounds a very difficult task, but once
having secured a -machine capable of
carrying dead weight, the problem
ecom
b es at once half solved. As
T
have already stated, inventors aro
at great pains for the moment to
reduce to the lowest possible maxi -
inure all weight, anicl Santos Du-
mont has achieved fame for the
lightness of his apparatus. He car-
ries' a very small, supply of -ballast
wit ,him, and his machines are of
the ightest possible description. At
the present moment 1 • ataengaged in
reducing•the,Weight of a motor, and
the amount of time 'and trouble
whicee it involves is enornious. It is
a two -horse power motor, and,: so far
1 have' reduced the weight to less
than twenty -Eve' pounds. I hope. to
still further reduce it; but it shows
the tendency• of the moment, and
nobody could conceive unless they
have tried, what time and labor such
experiments entail.
Mounting guns on a hying-miacltiine
would he a delicate undertaking, but
I can .quite conceive that the .time
Neill arrive when flying -machines will
carry armament; of no mean calibre.
There should be no danger in using
gunpowiler, and I do not anticipate
that the firing of a slice• from an
airship Would throw the machine off
its egiiilibriurn. There would ]lave
to be carefuladjustmient, of course;'
but presuming that a ship was trav-
elling at a great pace there should
be little to fear on the question of
balance.

where they may find relief. Mrs.

"I was troubled for about six
years with Kidney Disease and the
pain was so great I could hardly,
bear it. T could not entertain any
company. One night when I was

wonderful cures by Dodd's Kidney:
