One of the strangest mysteries of
late years Is that of the fate of the
giant French dirigible, Dixmude, with
its crew of fifty men, which dis-
appeared while on a flight over the
Mediterranean Sea, The great air-
ship 'was built by Germany during the
war, and surrendered to France as a
part of the reparations, 51 was special-
ly constructed cm very light, lines for
aerial attacks on London, and was,not
not
intended for• long cruises. The Dix-
nrude ,left France on Decsnrber 13, in
spite of storm warnings and the pro-
tests of the Hien, who are reported to
have feared the consequences 01 the
trip. Since that time the mystery of
monster ainship over the desert, The
body of the commander was found,
horribly mutilated, off the coast of
Sicily. Whether he fell or Jumped
from the Dixmude while it was in
flight, or whether the airship fell into
the sea, or burned to dust in the air
no one yet knows. The terrific storm
which was raging when she was first
reported lost may have driven her into
the unknown areas of: the desert.
There''may be two results from the
destruction of the Dixmude. It may.
moan the end of effort to maintain
dirigibles as practical• means of .air'
transport in war or peace. 01 the
seventy-two dirigibles used in the
great war, fifty-two were destroyed,
twenty-six by the anise, fourteen by
storms and twelve by explosions, 1n
comparison with the airplanes, their
services were negligible. The tree's
-
-se
of the -burning of giant dirigibles
at Hull, England, and Hampton, Vir-
ginia, are still fresh in men's. minds.
The second result may be the estab-
lishment 01 better communications in
the great stretches of the Sahara and
the other unknown stretches of North-
ern Africa.
The United, States now proposes to
send - another dirigible, the Shenan-
doah, on a night to the North Pole for
observations. • Will the possible ad-
dition to scientific knowledge be worth
the tremendous dangers to a flying
ship of the dirigible type?
The picture shows a typical desert
scene and the sort of .men who claim
tohave seen the •Dixmnd`e hovering
over the Sahara. Inset to a map of the

Natural Resources
Bulletin.
The Natural Resources Intel-
ligence Service of the Depart-
ment of the Interior at Ottawa,
says:
There has been a tendency on
the part of many persons inter-
ested in natural resources to.
emphasize that this or that par-
ticular resource is the most im-
portant.
Some have contended
that the forests are the most
important asset, others coal,
others maintain that the soil,
with its fertility, is the meet
important, and, of late years,
great stress has been laidupon
the statement that water is the
chief asset—the prediction .be
ing made that the nation which
has the most and
wa4 rr-poyrer.. available
tinedlo take preceds+ir
world of commerce. A
ter of fact, however,
various interests are
pendent. If any one fea'ti re o
our natural resources is to be
placed before others, probably
it could be moot reasonably -
urged that a fertile condition of
the soil is the most important
natural asset to be safeguard
ed; because, for his sustenance
on the earth, man requires food,
raiment and shelter, and these
essentials are supplied him, in
one form or another, either di -
redly or indirectly, from the -
soil, It must be manifest;
therefore, that the factors
which make for the permanence
of the soil's productivity are of •
paramount importance; and
hence the subject of ,the con-
servation and use of waters . as
a natural asset must, among
other things, be considered in its
prime relationships to the sub-
ject of the productivity of the
soil.
It should be borne in mind
that the greatest danger which
besets the natural resources of.
not only this country, but of the
world, is the undue disturbance
of the balance which Nature
seeks to maintain,
