MORE "AIRSHIPS."
The American papers speak of a "Custard Airship Company," which has a factory at Elmott, Texas, for the manufacture of airships on an "original plan." This company was organised several months ago, and endeavoured to manuacture machines in time to establish a line of them to ply between New York and Paris during the progress of the Exhibition at the French capital, but their construction was delayed, and it will be several months, so we are told, before regular lines of airships will be established between principal cities, should the one which is to be launched prove the success that is anticipated. The complete machine weighs 250 pounds, and it has a carrying capacity of from three to five people. Its maximum speed is expected to be 100 miles per hour.
