Airships Will Reach the Pole
By SANTOS-DUMONT, Airship Inventor
A GOOD EVIDENCE OF THE PROGRESS OF AERIAL NAVIGATION IS THE NUMBER OF BRIGHT MINDS NOW STUDYING THIS ALL IMPORTANT BRANCH OF APPLIED SCIENCE. SCIENTISTS ARE USUALLY ENDOWED WITH AN ENTHUSIASM WHICH DOES NOT OVERHEAT THE BRAIN, THAT THE MEDITERRANEAN CAN BE CROSSED TO AFRICA IN AN AIRSHIP IS QUITE CERTAIN. THAT THE TIME IS NEARLY AT HAND WHEN WE CAN MAKE A DESCENT UPON THE NORTH POLE IS EQUALLY CERTAIN. A LITTLE PATIENCE, A LITTLE PLUCK, A LITTLE MORE EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCE WILL BRING US UP THERE. I HOPE THE ST. LOUIS MANAGERS WILL GET UP RACES FOR AIRSHIPS.
