_There Seems now no doubt ' that the
English M.P., wheawas.ceiried. away it his
balloon to see, perished in the Atlantie.
It is. strange :that but little progress has
been made in the management of balloons.
The earth and the waters haven�secret
-from.us.which, once suspected, we could
not arrestfrem them.; but the air is EAU' a
wilderness, aanmasteaed and unexplOre.d,
The unhappy fate which has befallen so
manaapeasona shoWatis how Very little real
progress has- been. made in aeronautics
since the first ascents of -De Ruler and the
brothers Montgolfier, a hundredyearsago.
We know very little, .if - anything, of Oriel
Oaaigatiop,-exeept only safe; as •buoyancy
is concerned. The balloon. enables us to
rise to anyreasonableheight Whieh May
be _ desired. As far •back NS 1804 Gay-
laissac-aierced the atmosphere to a height
of 23,000 feet, while later on the -English-.
nieh named Glashier and Caxw.ell reached
an altitude of nearly seven miles. Viifortu,
•-nately the navigation of a balloon is a task
hopeless fromthefirst, While to *propel it
through the air .is le task involving difficul-
ties - which no one has yet overcome. Na
living Man has had more experience(aod a
deal of ircOnek las has paid for it, too) than
M„Nadar, of Chicago, and he tells that,
bulk for bulk, the balloon Must be ..ea thou-
sand timee larger than the rean-it eareies-,
and censeqiientlYuatil a way is discovered
tO propel such a buoyant body through per-
fectly calm air, to _ say nothing of directing
it against - an adveese. breeze, We oentrot
expect morefroni the thing than it it pre-
sent does for. ug, i. e., to fleet and support
-
us at a greeter or less distance above the
earth's surface. a Moreover, not only is it
impossible for athe aeronaut to properly
1:
guide his gas-filled Spheroid-, but it is o e of
the most difficult thingsaniagihable for im
to overcome the common, every -day an-
culty of getting clown again:. This is the
great toil, and no voyager can possibl-Y tell
in :adin - .Whether he will lend . a
treetop, malarial; or drop in the Water.
