NJ Cheya.ler has made los balloon
voyages aud may be presumed 70 have
a moderately good understanding Of
the difficulties iabIe q a voyage seross
tie Atlantic. lie declares that these
difficulties are not peculiar 70 tue At
lanao voyage, except As it IS one Of nn-
usual extent and duration They nat
urally range them selves under two
heads, VIZ
/ Maintaining the buoyancy Of the
balloon,
! II Keeping to a direct course.
The great cause d the dimnution Of
the buoyaney Of balloon, is the rising
aud falling in the altitude Of its course.
In the case Of the ordinary balloon, ey-
cry Hight above the average level costs
an expenditure Of both gas aud ballast.
The gas is lost by expansion and con-
sequent oyer1owing from the mouth Of
tue balloon, this loss Of gas then caus-
es the balloon to sink below the course,
which in turn compeis the throwing
out Of ballast to bring it up egain. The
loss Of gas in fluctuations, is a very Sc
rious consideration 10 the case Of a
balloon Of the size Of that in which
Prof Cheyalier il to make his trans
Atlantic trip. "LEsperance. for that
is its name, has n capacity for 10000
