TE-\NSATLANTIC AIR NAVIGATION
Letter from an Aeronaut.
From the Philadelphia Public Lelgef. ]
Can the wide Atlantic bo crossed by a
balloon ? appears to be the question of the
day. Some of the leading journals have de-
voted columns as to its feasibility, while
others have written articles to the contrary.
As I was the first to propose the project this
summer, I deem it my duty to make known
toihe public what a balloon has to contend
with; but, with tfeo aid of my improved
plans, the obstacles can be overcome. I
have placed before the public the bright
side of the project, in order to procuro their
aid, and also exhibited one portion of my
plans that overcomes that part which looked
to be the most difficult in the eye of the
scientific man who is experienced in aero-
statics. The reason I keep my improved
plans in secresy is, that some blockhead may
procure sufficient means to build an air-ship
that would cut short the career of one who
would like to be an aeronaut, which would
put back the progressive feeling towards
aerial navigation. I will give to you, prac-
tically and theoretically, what a balloon
would have to contend with in trying to
cross the Atlantic Ocean.
I have found in my experience that when
a balloon ascends heavenward it loses a
great portion of its power not only by expan-
sion, but by the atmosphere that surrounds
it; there appears to be a magnetic or an
electro current'that penetrates the thin
coating and mingles with the gas, and robs
it of a portion of its buoyant power. And,
oil several occasions I have noticed, after
descending, that the balloon contained more
gas than when I first ascended, but not the
same amount of power. I have also eon-
fined gas into a glass bottle, and by weigh-
ing it found that it lost a portion of its
power as it naturally condensed. Even to
the gases that arise from the earth, which
are generated (by the heat of the sun) into
punThydrogen, which ascends iihtil it finds
its level, and then condenses gradually and
returns back into the earth in the shape of
rain.
A balloon, half fall of gas, may bo kept
at the earth's surface for weeks and still re:
tain a portion of its ascending power, bnt
lot it ascend one and a half miles, and it
will there lose more power in two hours
than it will in one day anchored to the earth,
and oven the change of temperature will
cause condensation. A balloon ascending
with 15,000 cubic feet of gas will float (on
an average) about one and a half hours;
after which it will require twelve pounds of
ballast discharged to keep it afloat; the next
hour will require a little more than twelve
pounds to check 'the descent. So if 15,000
require twelve pounds of ballast, 30,000
will require twenty-four pounds, and so
on up in proportion to the amount CT gas
This has been my study, to r Aedy all
the above obstacles, which I can do with my
improved plans, which have not yot been
made public. .
The next thing to contend with is the cur-
rents of air. There is nothing that wo know
so little of as the upper currants. There is
positively- a current that travels from west
to east, ovor land, but the question w, does
it blow in the same direction over water?.
In the western country it biows from west
to east, but when ft nears the Atlantic
Ocean it blows to the north of cast. Some
say it follows the Gulf Stream, which winds
its way up into the northern portion of the
lobe, but my opinion is that it is drawn to
|ic North Pole by the vacuum that is formed
hero by the air condensing. "
The time selected for the aerial trip is
Juno, July or August, when the mild cur-
rents of air do not travel as fast as the
steamer; that takes about eight days to cross,
the balloon would, perhaps, make it in
twelve days, although balloons have trav-
eled faster than steamers, but not dtiring the
^KJve months, without they encounter,
storms.
Scientific men say, why don't you try it
orerland first ? I would if I could fiifd cap-
italists who would like to invest in the trial
this summer. I can construct a balloon
that will carry one hundred passengers from
California to >Tew York State, at $10Q each,
Which would pay the expense of construc-
tion of the above air ship.
The overland experiment would have ob-
stacles, as well, as that over the water. The
average height of the eastern current over
" el country is from 7000 to 12,000 foet
h, but ne£r the ocean it is only 3000 feet
„„ih, and sometimes less. The cause of it
being so nigh overland is, the local currents
aid high points of land interfere with it.
I passing over mountains oh a trip from
California, we would have to asecnd™abcut
mile above their summit in order to
in the current; and, by so doing, would
a largo amount of gas by expansion,
would not occur in traveling over the
As I mentioned before, I can rcme-
alithe above, either overland (Jrover
Professor "Wise and mysalf have done all
our power to get aid from the different
ies, but failed. Philadelphia being my
rth-plaoe, I gave her the first refasal, re-
iving plenty of encouragement, but no one
to-take stock in it So we have come to
the conclusion to earn the money by sensa-
tional ballooning, and construct the air Slip
ourselves, independent of cities, scientific in-
stitutions, or capitalists.

A Strange Disease.—TVe hear of
strange things in medical practice, but here
is one entirely novel. A Mrs. Emery, of
Portsmouth, N". H., while washing, recently,
experienced a sensation in her left eye, which
sht described as sounding like a watch run-
ningdown. Presently the eye, eyelids, and loft
cheek began to swell, until the lids were be-
yond the eyebrpws, and the eya beyond the
id. Her doctor treated her for erysipelas.
In|a few days, the eye began to slough, and
was removed, bnt mortification ensued, and
the patient died four days after.1 The physi-
eiaha pronotmce the case one of apoplexy of
thej eye, caused by tho breaking oi a blood-
vessel, mortification ensuing, and ultimately
apoplexy of the brain. It is to bo hoped
this new disease will not becoino as common
arfthe perplaxing and distressing cerebro-
spinal meningitis.
Flowebs at Meal Time.—Save perhaps
good-natured children, nothing makes meals
at home more attractive than a few flowers.
Everybody can have them, and even the
commonest kinds neatly or even carelessly
arranged, are an acquisition, and givo zest
to tho coarsest meal. Of course, no one
need imitate the diplomatist who gives great
dinners at Paris, who, it is said, always sur-
rounds each guest at the place where he sits
at the table, with (lowers that belong to the
country of which he is a native. The idea
must be difficult to accomplish, as few coun-
tries have a distinguishing flower, England.
Ireland, Scotland, Wales excepted. Never-
theless; you can perhaps give your husband
and each child the favorite ilower which
each loves best.
