Balloons and Science.

In conversation with St. Louis news paper reporter few days ago, Prof. Wise' the eromaut, expressed his views of the possibilities of ballooning, as follows; Balloons may be made of boiler iron Il built large enough. You know it is the battle of cubes and surfaces. When the surface is doubled the cube is quadrupled and balloon of 400 feet diameter of cop per boiler plate will lift up man-of-wal ship and sail away with it. With such balloon stocked with bombs and other munitions of war, think what consterna ton could be carried into besieged camp But the mission of the balloon will be more for scientific explorations. That overshad owing science called meteorology vii vet provide its definition in the use of the balloon"
