10 the San Francisco Chronicle, has recently
been built in that city by Mr.. A. p. Van Tassc}
1t has capacity Of 10000 cubic fee: OF gas,
and has been constructed for the special pur-
pose OF enabling the well known aronaut to
undertake journey across the continent from
ocean 10 ocean. The height from the floor of
the wicker car to the top Of the cas- reservoir
IS l19 feet, and OF the dilated reservoir alone Gs
feet. The envelope is made of finely woven
cloth, manufactured expressly for tho purpose.
and is varnished, as usual, in order to make it

ence IN aerial travelling, having crossed the
Wichita mountains, IL, 600 feet above sea level.

seeking the proper stratum of air he can be
carried eastward at high speed, possibly 100
miles an hour. The greatest difficulty will
probably be due to the Rocky Mountains,
which modify the movements of the air cur
rents over large area Of the continent 1t ia
expected that the voyage will be begun some
time about the let Of July. Should it survive
the trip, the giant balloon will be taken back
to San Francisco, where 1t will be placed on
exhibition.
