AN OCEAN TRIP IN BALLooN.-J.
Stainer Of Harrisburg, Pa, proposes to cross
the Atlantic in balloon 100 feet in diam
eter. He says in letter to the Telegraph: :
81 am satisfied in my own mind that
with such an apparatus | could cross the
Atlantic in rs hours, and the whole cost
would not be more than $4,000. The
balloon, network and valve would weigh
about 1000 pounds, and the boat and rig
lging 81 tuns; this will leave about eight
tuns ascending power for provisions passen-
gers and ballast. 1t would require three
good ocean navigators, and one astronomer
beside myself. 1 would suggest New York
as the starting point, and am certain would
strike within 200 miles of any given point
in Europe. would suggest May as tho
time for making the experiment, and would
make tho attempt in 1859, if could get
the government or others to assist me-"
