A New Airship
Company Formed in Stockholm to Float the Invention of M.B.H. Wallin--Cheapest Yet Built.
Special Cable.
Stockholm, Feb. 16. -- A company has been formed at Goetenberg to float the invention of a new Swedish flying machine by M.H.B. Wallin, director of the material testing department of the Chalmers Institute, who has been working for two years at his discovery. 
The inventor states that the construction of his airship will run less than a thousand dollars, and will therefore be much cheaper than most machines which have been hitherto used for experimental purposes, so that the capital already subscribed is more than adequate for first trails. The building of the airship will take some weeks, but the work is making rapid progress. A motor for driving the machine is expected from Paris in a few days. In the course of an interview M. Hallin expresses himself as very hopeful regarding his invention.
He said: "The problem of aerial navigation can be solved quite as easily as any other problem. It is only remarkable that the antiquated system of aerial navigation by balloon should have been adhered to to long"

Signor Celestine Usuelli, one of the leading aeronauts of Italy and who made the memorable ascension over Mount Blanc last November, was the guest of the Aero Club of America last night. He gave a graphic account of his aerial passage of the Alps and then related some interesting particulars of a later ascension made last December from Milan, in which he attained an altitude of nearly 24,000 feet with the temperature more than 32 degrees below zero. Signor Usuelli arrived here on Sunday on the steamship St. Louis. He is going to Cuba tomorrow and then to Mexico, but will return to New York next month, when he expects than the difficulty [[cutoff]]
