Idea of what future airships may look like may be gained from trend of development described; increase to twice capacity of existing vessels, and more, in lifetime of present generation can be foreseen without insuperable engineering difficulty; such ships, 1000 ft. long and of 200 ft. girth, will constitute largest moving structures in world; with present speed of 70 to 80 m.p.h., saving in time constitutes great advantage over other forms of transport.
