The Latest Balloon Experiments in
France.

Baltimore Sun.
Can't. Brainard, of the French army,
who has been engaged for some years
past in experimenting on the navigation
of balloons for war purposes, and whose
previous ascents from the works at Meu-
dan were noticed in the Sun, made
third and fourth ascent from the same
place about two weeks ago.
The first ascent was partially success
full, but it was made in calm atmos-
phere; the second, in brisk wind, was
q failure. Those recently made were
more successful than any. Changes had
been introduced in the apparatus where
. by the weight of the motive power was
light. med and the power of the propeller
increased. The last trials were on two
successive days. The wind on both days
was moving about the rate of SIX miles
an hour and the machinery worked well.
The distance undertaken was about five
miles, and the propeller showed suffl-
cient power to drive the balloon against
gress which it made before the wind.
So far, then, it has been proved that I'M
der favorable circumstances a balloon
can be constructed that can be used in
warfare to observe an enemy's position
in the field and the disposition of his
forces, or to examine the interior de-
fences of town or fortress, and that
after passing over the enemy's lines it
can be made to return to the point of
departure.
The Renard balloon is cigar shaped, is
filed with pure hydrogen gas, and will
carry besides its machinery three per-
sons. But in a high wind, with such
heavy apparatus as the Renard balloon
about four tOns-it is recognized that it
would be ungovernable either by the rud
der or screw, and that as the material of
the balloon itself is light fabric, it
would be in danger of destruction with
such heavy drag beneath it. The ut
most, therefore, that can be said of the
Renard balloon is that it is an improve
ment upon the one constructed by NJ.
Dupuy de LONE in 1872, which was also
Of spindle shape, with a triangular rud-
der and a screw, but which, on its trial
day, failed to reverse the direction of
the balloon or to do more than to alter
it's course about twelve degrees. With
Renard's latest aerial machine there may
be times when it might be usefully en-
ployed in army service, but it is conced
ed that it wonid be impossible for it to
make Roadway against wind much ex-
ceeding six miles an hour.
