When it rose, the wind was from the northeast, blowing with a velocity of yards a second. When the airship had attained a height of 400 yards, it described a circle and then 6rove with the wind iif a generally circular direction for about six miles. It then again described a circle, after which it made headway against the wind, which was then blowing with increased velocity. Eventually the airship descended with great ease and steadiness into the lake and was towed to a shed. The experiment was most successful. Its stability, equilibrium nnd steering powers were excellent. It is generally agreed that considerable progress has been made since the first ascent. How Does This Strike You?

The uirship is 122 meters in length, being by far the largest eVcr constructed. It is cigar shaped and contains in an aluminium netting 17 separate balloons. %The cigar shaped cylinder has a diameter of 11.3 meters and a volume of 11,000 cubic meters and is estimated to have the capacity to raise and support in the air 11,000 kilograms. The airship weighs approximately 4,CD00 kilograms. Under the cigar shaped cylinder are supported two gondolas, each placed 25 meters from their respective ends of the cylinder. Each contains a 15 horsepower Daimler motor which work the propellers. The forward screw has four wings, the rear only three. The steering apparatus is also contained in the gondolas. The screws are capable of 1,200 revolutions to the minute and give an estimated forward propulsion of 04 meters. Count Zeppelin estimates that the balloon can rise to 1,100 meters and when weighted with 1,000 kilograms can be kept up in the air for eight days. Count Zeppelin is 70 years old and has devpted 30 years to the aerial navigation. He has spent $375,000 on this airship and experiments.

London, Oct. 18.—The St. Petersburg correspondent of The Telegraph reas* serfs that Russia has annexed Manchuria. He says that no official denials or disavowals of Russia's desire for territorial acquisitions can dispose of a fact which is already accomplished. The Times' St. Petersburg correspondent deals lengthily with the same subject, contending that the matter is in the hands of the military leaders, who will apply the recent orders for the demobilisation of the troops and their withdrawal only , when they see fit. He says that those orders are qualified by reservations and exceptions, and adds that, whatever may be said in official disclaimers, nobody in St. Petersburg doubts for a moment that Manchuria is completely under Russian domination and will continue virtually so In one form or another.

In ofe large popcji w#re stolen from Station H, at' the corner of Lexington avenue and East Forty-fourth street, on Monday night last, and so far the postoffice inspectors have been unable to locate the thief, although suspicion has fallen on one man.

It had been duly checked off, sealed and locked with a numbered key. With another pouch of registered mail it had been deposited on the floor near the employees' entrance. When the wagon called for it, Station Clerk Nathan discovered that it was missing. Search in and around the station failed to reveal it. The payment on the checks contained in the bag has been stopped. The amount in cash is not supposed to have exceeded $1,000, but the value of the contents of the registered letters, which were directed to many parts of the globe, can only be guessed at.
