WENT UP THE WRONG WAY Four Persons Injured by tbi Explo sion tl Count Zeppelin's Alrsbip. It Bad Jast Completed tbe Most Remarkable Trip ia tbe Bfctorj of Aerial Navigatiea. Stuttgart, Aug. 5. -Count Zeppelin's airship, which descended ona plateau near the village of Echterdtngen, five miles south ot this city, shortly before 8 o'clock this morising, owng to a de- feet in ene of the motors, broke away .! from its moorings duriEg a storm at 3 o'clock this afterneen, bursting into flames aed exploding. Four persons were injured by the flyig debris. Count "Zeppelin escaped unin jured. The airship was completely wrecked,. The storm came upunexpeetediyr-A fierce gust wind tore the balloon from its anchorage and drove iit in a southwesterly direction for some fty yards. Here the rear end of tbe great fabric dropped and smoke and 'flames were seen to burst -out from ODOrad te the other. Then in a lewocorids cain-e the ex plosion and a great lnmnol: flame shot upward into the air. TEfcis was followed by the crashing dow-n to the earth ef -the meters and flames that had been attached to the under side of the airship. Several bystanders were knocked, down. It was -uneoessary to land the airship at Eeuterdingen, due te the' overheating of the piston box of the forward metorand the -cape mt considerable gas owing te the fact that the Count took the airship to height of -about 6,800 feet. The -'Zeppelin airship had just com pleted the mest remarkable voyage in the history of aerial navigation. It left the- Lake of Constance yesterday me ruing for a trip to Mayence and re turned. The fight was successful in a great many ways. The machine re sponded absolutely to the control of tiio pilots aad was navigated over the Lake of Constance, down the valley of the Rhine, over Strassbaxgand several other cities, and was expeeted at Friedriefcshafen, its starting point to day. Count - Zeppelin has devoted his life time and personal fortsne to the de velopment of his airships. The vessel that was lost today was the fourth he has eonstrur-ted. When his own money had become exhausted the German Reiebatag voted him$125,000 to con duet further experiments and number 4 was the result, The German govern ment agreed to purchase this ship on condition that it fulfilled cetrain re quirements, the principal one being that it remain in the air 24 hours and land on terra firma. This stipulation has not yet been fulfilled. The airship was 443 feet long, with a diameter ef about 45 feet. It tapered to a blunt point at the -bow, while at the stern were various rudders and frames used in steering. It was fitted underneath with two independent com partments, each carrying a motor capa ble of developing 140 horse-power. As many as 15 passengers had been taken aloft at one time. Sleeping accommo dations wore provided for the crew and an apparatus was installed for the dis patching And receipt of wireless mes sages. The inflating gas was distrib uted among 16 separate inter-compartments, which were contained within the outer rigid envelope ot atuminum. The accident to the Zeppelin airship recalls the end of the French military airship Patriein December, 1907, which was then considered the finest dirigible balloon in existence. The Patrie was undergoing .repairs to her machinery at Verdon. A sudden gust of wind struck the airship and the 206 men who were holding the guide ropes were dropped along for several hundred yards befere they let go. The balloon then shot up to a great height asfd dis appeared, and never was heard from. TELEGRflPHIG BREVITIES. ssasstssskpBB Here's a Howdy Do. (Special to the Akgxjs.) New York, Aug. 5.
