BERLIN, April 13. - Wireless telegraphy is to be adapted to aerial navigation. An apparatus will be fitted to Count Zeppelin's airship with which he intends to resume experiments during the summer. For a receiver the airship will carry a bronze wire 300 feet long, suspended from the center of the airship. The transmitter worked by power from the airship's two 80-horsepower motors will be capable of sending messages 120 to 150 miles. Post Dispatch St Louis 14 Ap-1907 620-MILE JOURNEY IN BALLON AT NIGHT PARIS, April 13.- Alfred Leblanc, the youngest member of the Aero Club de France, has, according to a dispatch received by the club, made the first long-distance balloon trip this year, having traveled 620 miles from Paris to Bergen. He started Saturday at 6pm with the engineer, M. Mix, from the park of the Aero Club at Saint Cloud in the balloon Linicusin, which has a capacity of 1200 cubic meters, and which was lent to him by Amadee Bastier. He crossed over Paris, and in the course of the night, carried by a strong wind, passed by Rheims, Luxembourg, Coblentz, Cassel and Brunswick. At daybreak Sunday morning the two aeronauts were passing over Mecklenburg and were still favored by a strong wind. When they had passed the city of Stralsund, 620 miles from Paris, and saw the Baltic before them, they thought it time to descend, and landed safely at Bergen, in the Island of Rugen. They had no difficulty in landing about 7:30, and after packing up their balloon proceeded to the nearest telgraph station at Laucken-Granitz, to notify their friends in Paris of the happy conclusion of their journey. M. Leblanc, by this brilliant exploit, is now entitled to the long-distance cup for aeronauts founded by the Gaulois, which was won in 1905 by Comte Henry de la Vaulx, who that year traveled in a balloon from Paris to Leipzig, a distance of 516 miles.
