Show BY BALLOON TO surope EUROPE A BALLOON voyage to europe or an attempt thereat is now announced as a certainty the start to be ba made next month month in response to many inquiries the new york graphic says of the venture first it Is not our intention to give any exhibition of the balloon previous to its departure it la now in process of construe construction on by the domestic bestic sewing ifa machine chine company pan and as soon aa as it is 13 ready the party wili will sail sall without unnecessary publicity scowl As the graphic company furnishes the means necessary tor for carrying out this remarkable enterprise those who maydish may wish to contribute for that purpose may make donations to professor WW wise and his companions compani onsy so as to reimburse them to some extent for their time and the risks they encounter third the balloon will carry a limited number of letters and small smail packages those who wish to avail themselves of the opportunity tunit to send letters or packages to friend sla sia europe drope should make early application fourth the balloon will have a carrying capacity of several tons so that as many as us eight or ten persons can take passage in the cart car without inconvenience or over weighting such leading journals as would like to send representatives on the doyaga w will ili fil do well to ap apply ay immediately As the list wili will boon be 11 filled lied tied up this p proposition will remain open for torten ten days in order that b at journals at a distance may be heard beard from in conclusion we may state that although the balloon will be the largest ever made we expect to have everything for the start before the of august in the same paper professor wise the bold aeronaut barp cerp who is to make the venture gives a description of the balloon and of the purpose the proposed voyage he says the lines are laid and the work is already berun begun we may not be able to equip the very best outfit but we shall have one all sufficient to give it a fair trial mr donaldson has taken in hand the construction of the network net work car gallery and boat and I 1 have taken in hand the floats the balloon proper will be a spheroid of ico feet transverse and perpendicular and diameter the supplemental balloon will be a spheroid of 38 feet foet diameter these theses with allowance tor for expansion ot of gas will give us a lifting power of pounds and a net carrying power of pounds and of disposable ballas ballast tg pounds our floats will not lose by of gas over 15 pounds per hour and that will enable us to keep afloat 20 days but Bu allowing a liberal margie margin for the rree tree escape of gas in the higher and more rarefied regions of the atmosphere we may still calculate safely tor for a ten days buoyant power and it if deemed necessary we can dispose of the boat and gaile galle gallery and thus restore a bu buoyant force of or 1200 aw pounds which wound would serve us for several days dats more so that under the most adverse circumstances we can hardly fail to roach reach the european shore we shall carry a boat loat moro more for the purpose of providing for a contingency that ma may possibly arise from any damage to the ma man maa rl a balloon but one that we have little cause to apprehend the boat will be stored with wa water wafer a e and aud provisions to th serve for thirty days our kind friends irre are ave thus assured that we are not fool tool foolam foolhardy hM seeing that we shell provide aga install gencie genole that are likely to pos biby siby brise arise our main reliance Is on the great eastward drift of the trade wind an and darter dafter atter after your publication of dr Ram ramseys Ba maeys admirable paper on oa the motion at 0 the atmosphere

eastward motion of or the air is an established raci tact of science of every days exper experience tence we have nave I 1 think little to rear tear for tho tha result of the voyage we do not pretend that in this finst first experimental voyage we shall be able to make a given point on land but we have an eye to the the gulf stream the great warm river in the ocean which forms above it itt in the ocean of air a corresponding aerial river that will float us to the coast of ireland it becomes a physical correlative that the at ain air on ou being warmed by the G gult gulf uit ulf stream eam ean

fact in ja the flack messengers constantly to be seen la in this isrial highway what we dona know khow Is the actual condition of this force of nature over and dabove the sea and as a method 7 djs of exploration we intend to make this aerial voyage and in our tf numble nimble way endeavor to mark out an au path tor for men and malis malls we have a living faith in ta ta ts success and a belief that wa we shall aid the oo 00 little uttie cultivated cultivate ed science of meteorology and in that we look for our reward the tho satisfaction of that little honorable ambition without the which man Is but b uta a poor thing we crave the public patience until our embarkation in due course of time wa w will announce the day of departure since it Is s impossible for us to depart in an unobserved and manner because we are compelled to leave from the midst of a dense population on account of gas supply although we would prefer to start mart in the presence of the few good friends only who have faith in the sincerity pt of our design and in the ways and means wo we have designated rot SOT its successful accomplishment ment mont thus the professor will be well supplied for adventure for either elther air earth or water if this aerial trip prove a success it will be accounted one of the wonders of the latter days lo 10 rank with the utilization of steam and electricity and the name of professor wise will will be handed down to posterity in the ests of the most distinguished scientific benefactors of their race if it become an established fact that aerial voyages can be successfully performed and with a 6 tolerable degree of certainty a revolution w will III ili soon be effected in travel and in letter and parcel conveyance it will be seen that it is assumed that the upper winds flow easterly and that this peculiarity la ls relied upon as the motive power to give force forde and direction to the balloon the thie gas merely aT affording sustaining power to it if these anticipations prove correct there will be no coming wes westward from europe to america by balloon but n mather rather the inference will vIll belair that those bose who wish to make the voyage by balloon from the old world to the new must take an eastward direction and land on this continent from the west As the great venture of the age this daring attempt of prof wise will be watched with absorbing interest by the public on both hemis homis the philadelphia inquirer says that on the same day that prof wise will start from new york vork for europe by balloon colonel de ahna
