BATTERBY. ® ® ® ® AIRSHIP NEWS. •" Clement Bayard IV" Beats Dirigible Height Record. ON the 19th ult., the dirigible "Clement Bayard IV" was out for over four hours at La Motte Breuil, and rose to a height of 2,000 metres (6,560 ft.), which it is claimed is a record for dirigible balloons. Six passengers were on board the airship, and the wind was blowing at a velocity of between 12 and 15 metres a second. " Parseval V " Burnt. ON Monday afternoon the miniature dirigible, " Parseval V," was destroyed by fire at Minden. It arrived there on the previous day in order to make a series of trips with passengers. No proper shelter was available for it, however, and when a strong breeze sprang up it was deemed prudent to dismantle the airship. While the envelope was being deflated the gas became ignited, apparently through one of the amateur helpers persisting in smoking a cigarette. The envelope was completely destroyed, and a number of persons were more or less injured by burning. A New Zeppelin Liner. ON Monday the new dirigible built to replace the " Deutsch- land " made her first appearance in the open and cruised for some time over Lake Constance, Count Zeppelin himself being on board. The new airship, which has been named " Schwaban" is on practically the same lines as the " Deutschland " which was wrecked at Dusseldorf on May 16th. The work of construction has occupied about two and a half months. ® ® ® ® Messrs. Vickers', Ltd., Aerodrome at Dartford. A GOOD deal of interest has been aroused locally by the news that Messrs. Vickers, Ltd., have acquired an extensive area of Dartford Marshes with the intention of using it as a testing ground and school for the monoplanes which they are at present building under the R.E.P. patents. A big shed is being erected near the " Long Reach " Tavern, and the ground, which is well suited for the purpose of an aerodrome, is being rapidly straightened out. PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED.
