Wise's Balloon Voyage.

The design of Wise, the balloon
list, to cross the Atlantic, if attempt
ed, will prove an undertaking of
great value. There is 10 reason
known to science which would pre-
vent the crossing OF the Atlantic
from west to east, in q balloon.
Everything points to conclusion
that such a trip is practicable !;
and while this is the case, we yet
lack a practical demonstration.
Such q demonstration would be of
vast value to the domain of knowl-
edge. The direction, strength, and
general character of the upper
aerial currents of tho Atlantic are,
as yet, only matters Of speculation.
He who will definitely settle these
speculative conclusions will confer
as substantial n benefit upon sci
ence as has been conferred by the
discovery of any other fact of great
practical value. Wise is no char
latan. He has for so many years
been identified with aeronantis that
there can be no suspicion attach to
him of proposing this effort to OBJ
tain notoriety. He is pushing the
matter in good faith, and, should
he start and fail and never be heard
of again, no sensible man could Go
otherwise than admire his courag'
Nor would his failure to cross the
Atlantic render it any less the duty
of others aeronauts to attempt the
solution of the same problem.
Should it be demonstrated that
balloons can cross the ocean from
west to east, this fact alone, even
should a return through the air be
impossible, would prove of great
value in a commercial sense. Hence
it is not only meteorology but COM
merce which has an interest in the
solution Of this aerial problem ;
and should Wise prove the man to
afford the solution, he will be ac-
corded o rank of the first order
among explorers and discoycrors.

The Paris correspondent Of an English

tion Of new method for fattening fowls:
The birds. which consist of common fowls.
ducks and turkeys, are coufned in small
open stalls. which are just large enough to
receive them, aud in which they are SO fas-
ieaed that they ycan hardly move. Here
they are fed with an emulsion icijinposed Of
milk aud oatmeal. which is pumped into
their gzzards ut stated hours. This is all
the food they get, and. with the exception
Of the ducks. which are allowed little wa
ter. hey have iiU other drink. The fowls
are taken Ut from three to six months old.
and are fat.eDcd in from twelve to eighteen
days, at triiing cost.
