AN ARSENAL IN THE CLOUDS.
A War Airship Which Is Being Con
structed for Cuban Service,
Cuba Is going to fight the Spaniards
from the clouds. In a secluded grove
in Florida a French engineer now
under construction an alrghip whieh Is
to be placed In the Cuban service, It
will carry 125 men, 1,000 rifles, a half
million rounds of rifle ammunition and
dynamite shells, The airship one
of the most remarkable things of its
kind ever concelved by an aeronaut. Its
chief feature, which excites the great
est wonder, is its extreme lightness con-
sidering its tremendous strength, The
airship consists of a boat-shaped car
that does not swing, but is held solidly,
though pendant, from a cluster of five
balloons.
These berlloons are held steadily in
place by five belts, which
go around the girths of the balloons
and are connected at the points of con-
tact by working ball-bea
joints, so that there can be

thousand barrels of oil. When the pressure

it into the air more than one haudred fest,

insects Sneedier Than Birds,
Science says that many insects can
fiy faster than birds. The common
house fly can ordinarily fly twenty-five
feet a second, But when it is alarmed
it has been found that it can increase
its rate of speed to over 160 feet per
second, If it conld continue such rap-
id flight for a mile in a straight line it
would cover that distance in exactly
thirty-three seconds. It is not an an-
common thing when travelling by rail
in the summer tine to see a bee or
wasp keeping up with the train and
trying to get in at one of the windows,
A swallow is considered one of the
swifteast of flying birds, and it was
thought until recently that no insect
could escape it. A naturalist tells of
an exciting chase he saw between a
swallow and a dragon fly, which is
among the swiftest of insects. The in-
sect flew with incredible speed, and
wheeled and dodged with such ease
that the swallow, despite its utmost
efforts, completely failed to overtake
and capture it,
