Edgar A. Poe as a Scientist.

Years ago Edgar A, Poe published
his celebrated Balloon Hoax" In
the minutia of the management of the
air-ship he made mention of method
of maintaining fixed altitude. It was
simply long rope coiled in basket,
the lowering Of which retards the mo-
ton and brings the balloon to a lower
position. Now, after the lapse of much
time, the idea has been adopted by Mr..
Donaldson, and submitted to practi-
cal test. In his last ascent, that
aeronaut found the drag-rope proved for
itself all the writer of fiction claimed
for it. This rope is about 400 feet in
length. and when not in use lies coiled
in the bottom of the car. When lower
position is desired, the rope is let out,
and the friction Of the air upon it re-
tards the progress of the balloon, bring
ing it to a lower level
