Mr.. EDITOR A Great Iarention-I hasten to
lay before YOU the greatest scheme for ocomoon that
has ever been thought Of 1t is entirely feasible too
which more by half than be said in favor OF all the
projects of present Corporation. But 10 the point
Ny plan embraces the long sought desderatum OF ira
versns the air Now Sir, whether you deride my Co
anbuske undertaking or not il will yet certainly be
accomplished
In the irs, place will station line OF pos,s between
hc.c and Harlem just satisfy the Workers the top OF
the posts to be connected by strong double iron wire
sliding pulley be attached to the outer wire SO as to
traverse entire distance without hindrance. Then
will have an elegant parachute hold "a
attached TO balloon of sufficient dimensions, which bal
loon is to be connected to the pulley on the tEayeTsns
wire this will keep the balloon in its proper track The
motive power IS be given By small engine at each
end Of the track pulling the balloon along by string or
rope II boy would kite
Now. gentlemen do hope you will give this sugges'
ton publicity especially there can be no difficulty ex'
cept in the supply of gas for the balloon and that ex'
pense we think shall get for the present by col
ecting all the surplus Washington growing out OF the
Oregon War and other windy matters.
