New Continuance for Steering Balloons.

A. NJ. Menier, Of Bordeaux, has invented q new
continuance for the steering Of balloons. Tho
mechanism is placed behind the car, and, by
clever arrangement Of network, acts upon belt
which eneircles the body Of the balloon, extend
ing about four or five degrees above and below q
horizontal plane through its centre-its equator,
90 to say. The rudder is plane and can be used
as q sail. The balloons are said to move
obliquely upwards and downwards and also
sideways, according to the position Of the rudder.
The sidsway motion is very likely facilitated by
changing the position of ballast. One circum-

when falling to the ground, can be made to

thus avoid any sudden shock, and at the same
