It i* only 1 1 1 yean since the Moetgolfier brothers sailed in th* air a balloon filled with heated air, a erode affair at beet ; mw the latest development* and investigations of Langley, Maxim, and Holland are becoming well known u> tbe public. But it is only within a few yean that any real progrea* ha* been made. Jane 5, 1783, Joseph Montgolner, at Annonay, Prance, assisted by us brother Stephen, sent up a balloon made of varni>he<i paper. They are credited with being "the tint that ever bunt into that unknown sea." But in ancient time* mechanical flight waa spoken of in the claa- ic, a*, for instance, tne fable of Dirdalua and Icarus in Itreek mythology. In the latter part of the fifteenth century the natural philosopher, Dante I not the po*t) i* said to have sailed seven! time* over Lake Trasymene, in Italy, by means ef a pair of wings, till in decending too rapidly he broke bis leg : liter Mill, a smith at Sable, France, waaabl* to <lecend obliquely through tbe air by means of wings, bat eoaH not lift himself. There are also traditions of the airship of Laurent in 1709, that of the .Jesuit priest, Lara, and finally that of th* I'ortaguee*, ijuxmin, of whom it i* maintained that he invented an ari balloon with hydrogen gaa, which bur** at a great altitude, and came down about twelve mile* from Parir, whore the raper- titioas peasant* destroyed it with hayfork* and flails. TUIY ARKIXD Tbe First a*cen*ion with passengers wa* undertaken by tbe marquis d'Arlande and I'llatre d< R/:er. coming down in twenty- five miuutes at a <iutAo.ce of five mile* from tbe stalling point. Dr. Jokn Jeffrie*, a graduate of Harvard, mad* in 1 7$o the tint pauage by balloon from England to France with tbe aeronaut Bianch^rd. paying him t'T'-'for tin- cost of tne trip. The trip spied two hours only. A monument waa erected at thepoiut of debarkation and Mr. Jeffr:es ara* much fated by the municipal council of the city o: Guines. in Fraoce.and it* eompte having deacende i in the forest of Uuinea. Improvement* were mad* soon after in the safety valve, hanging the car in a net, the method of nsmg ballast, etc. (iay Luatac -uid Rit reached ax elevation f 7,0<>0 meters, or -JLUOUfeet. No further progress was made in the construction of balloon* and the scientific development of aerial navigation for nearly a century. The employment of balloon* in warfare wa* found to be practicable during the siege of Paris in !>?", when Nadar an.i others established the balloon postal service. i,m- be'ta him**lf did not hesitate to escape from Paris in thia manner. In Tonqum, in the late French war, balloon* were employ- Mi. Th* balloon roe* to a height of 15<> meten. or during battles t> i"><> meters, and from that heuht it was possible to inform th* commanding officer a* to th* point where th* projectile* f*ll, the itnngth of th* enemy, etc., by raising the voice or by dropping written communications weighted with alone*. It wa* also through this mean* that th Chinese wer*prev*ut<i from retir- ing from BaoNinh, and that place waa taken without tiring a shot. The us* of th* balloon in the recent great military maneuren in Franc* has perfected the science greatly, a* shown by M. Debu- reaux. an officer of engmeen. in hi* report- In concluding hi* report he claims that if Napoleon at Waterloo and Bazaine -t Saint Prival ha 1 had a balloon -rv.ce at tlieir dicpoeal a different result might have been expected from both battle*, and thereby th* course of history would have been changed. M. Deboreaux think* that at % ill italic* of three mile* the balloon would be beyond ih* reach of artillery, an. I would command the ground for a distance of more than ait mile* -. and even at night the coun- try la sufficiently illuminated to be compar- ed with map. It is difficult, howevtr, to distinguish the movement* of troop* in a wooded country, and (her* are other draw- backs. M XKI <OVIM:.
