TWO TYPES OF AIR CRAFT Friends of the Aeroplane Say It Will Crooa the Ocean First. Tbe airship has thus far kept just a few years ahead of the aeroplane everything save speed. In the mas ter of speed alone, the aeroplane® <, have had the advantage ever slncfe they first began to fly. The interesting question now IS whether the aeroplanes will shortly catch up with the airships on the only points in which the airships now have the advantage, that Is, as to endujr- ance in staying In the air and as to passenger capacity. Whether the aeroplane will ever bo - able to keep up In the air as long as the dirigible does now Is a doubtful question. 80 is the question whether the aeroplane will e*er carry a scoro #r so of passengers. Aeroplanes pend on their fuel to lift the weight that they carry. The further they go the more fuel they need. The fuel it- self is a great element of weight. The longer the journey the more seriously the weight of the fuel counts. There is, therefore, a limit to the possible distance that the best ot conceivable aeroplanes can S? without alighting. That limit is the utmost distance that the greatest amount of fuel possiblo to lift with the most economical ert- glne will get over. How far will gaso line sustain Itself? That once aa» swered. aviators will know the limit qf tying possibilities save with some still undiscovered fuel. Aviators are talking confidently of a time soon to come when aeroplanes will cross the Atlantic. 8uch a flight on the mere consideration of distance Is not regarded as visionary, thougfc the elements of wind and weather make it more difficult to predict. Friends of the aeroplane, however, are fe<vUue4 t- think that there is a chance 4$Jhe 4yiijroplane crossing the Atlantic MgKjre the iiriglbles do so. Limited s.:i ) is, the aeroplane neetls o vulnerable gas bag and bra .tor. fv i Vision. Riid that man a fur-i * n,
