AERIAL NAVIGATION.—M. de Fonville sums up
as follows, in the Ponthion de l'lndrstrie et des Arts, the
services already rendered by the endesvours to turn aero-
nautics to some practical account. "Without balloons,•
he says, "we should not know that partelia, antbelia,
whieb Deed to be a subject of terror to superstitious
populations, are caused by particles of ice suspended in the
air by electric attraction ; we should not know that the
law of progressive refrigeration is not found to hold good
at great altitudes, or that in the sir there exists a sort of
Gulf-streams, if we may be permitted to call them so, we-
slating of hot air, and affording so easy explanation of the
irregularity of the seasons. Without Mr. Glaiaher'■
ascensions, it could not have been proved that the banded
the spectrum are all of terrestrial origin, and that conse-
quently the astronomical theories built upon the supposed
pert they play in the universe have no reliable foundation.
It is not, therefore, possible to assign any limits to the
utility of aerial navigation, each as it is now practicable,
by the labours of distinguished philosophers.'
