| published The card of a person, whose
name we have forgotten, living some
where at the West, who proposes making U
balloon voyage from New York TO Z
New Orleans. Great wits jump, accord Ii
ing to the old ,adage; and the saying is t
exempliied in the fact that balloon pro- e
ject on still grander scale has been con-
tempiated IN England also, and about the /,
same time. And after all why Eot?- /;
Thirty years ago the navigation of the ,
Atlantic by steam would have seemed
quite as impracticabie, yet steam ships
are now making the voyage with almost
Iclock-like regularity. Who knows but
that we may nave balloon from London
coming down into the midst of US, one of
these odd days, as suggested in the follow
ing paragraph from the Norwich Mercury
of October l9.-N Y. Spec.
The Balloon.
: On "Wednesday Mr.. Green made his
$ rscent from the gas works, un1er one of
the most serene and cloudless atmospheres
e that ever shone. r. Crdwshay. Esq was !
/ his companion; indeed, it appears that
e the voyage was undertaken % satisfy that |
It gentleman. From this union there is
It likely TO result very important measure;
e namely, the construction of balloon OF
IS experiment capable Of almost any purpose
}. to which it can be applied. Aerostation
is certainly vet in its infancy, and true phi
iosophy never doubts the possibility Of
- useful improvement.
:, We understand that Mr.. Green has al
- the solicitation of few Of his staunch
" aeronau,ical and scientific friends, gratu-
itouslv consented to Construct a powerful
90 and splendid balloon, to be used solely
= for the purpose Of scientific experiment
se and recreative amusement; and we have
nv his authority to state that he soOuld aoiL-
Ut HngIg with such a machine, undertake a
he royage from Nem York to Europe, thus
at once putting TO the Test the duration OF
the power of balloon, when properly
constructed, and furnished with every
necessary appendage. We think with
Mr.. Monk Meason, who accompanied Mr.
Green AMI Mr. Ho!lanl on the ever mem
~ orable voyage from London 10 Wiel
'"e burgh, in Germany, that The eGrtPs aoho'
ear surf face may al some not vcry distant do
Ind be trGrersed By balloon.
