NEW GIANT AIRSHIP
ROOM FOR 300 PASENGERS. London, Sept. 25. Plans have been sketched for a British airship of an entirely new type, to be built at Howden, where the RIOO is now being completed. A scale model shows a hull, closely resembling that of a ship, but the great difference from existing types is tlio removal of all under-carriages. Thus all engines and cabins will bo placed within the hull. The designers contemplate enabling the airship to float on water. If their ambition is realised, accommodation will be found for 300 passengers.
