means must be adopted to discover the
disposition of his force.
The telegraph corps has added greatly
to such facilities: but scouts and cavalry
may not be able to obtain as accurate in
formation as may be desirable, and for
this reason the Germans and French
have for some time past been eNpcri-
menting with captive balloons, from
which they may observe the country
for miles in all directions. Special corps
of balloonists have been organized and
trained with great care.
The balloon company will march in
the rear of the advance guard of the
army, under suitable escort The
hawser which holds the balloon captive
is reeled up on heavy reel worked by
steam and mounted on a carriage that
may he drawn by horses or propelled by
steam power. The smooth, magnificent
roads in France and Germany make this
plan perfectly feasible, In case the ad-
vance is along the line of a railroad the
balloon reel may be placed on a car at
tachcd to train.
Except in case of strong winds the
balloon may rise to a considerable height
and the advance continue unimpedcd,

maneuver his men as in Il game of chess,
with every regard to strategic principles,

end OF the balloon cable was made fast

preceded and followed by an escort of
thirty-six men. Amarch was made over
various obstacles, and it was thus de-
monstratcd to the great satisfaction of
the Admiral that a captive balloon can
accompany landing party either afloat
or ashore, and possibly be of important
service to it.
Other trials lately made prove conclu-
sively that a balloon can be maneuyered
without Inconvenience even in a masted
ship, and can be inflated and used with
facility aboard any vessel.
The balloon used has capacity of
$50 cubic yards of gas, and is one that
does duty for Institutional purposes at

There are many important nses to which
ba lloons may be put in naval warfare.
The great increase in the speed Of modern
ships of war. and the greater range and
ii quite as important that the enemy
should be discovered at as great distance
at sea as on land Two fiftecn-knot
ships steaming toward each other will
meet in half All hour from the time they
sight each other above the horizon. Sim
ilarly squadron attacking coast may
appear at the entrance OF harbor in
less than an hour after it is sighted from
the shore.
Thus an admiral. cruising with his
squadron at sea, may, by means OF the
balloon. discover his enemy in time to
give chance or make preparations for
escape or for battle. A commerce de-
stroycr may discover a merchantmen at
Il great distance and steer such course
as to intercept her.
IT. has been shown in the foreign naval
mancuvcrs that lookout stations along a
coast in telcgraphic communication with
each other are of the first Importance TO
the defenders. Captive ballens at each
of these stations may discover Il hostile
feet while at great distance at sea,
either approaching the cost or steaming
along toward some objective point A
few hours warning may enable the de-
fcnders to concentrate ships at the
threatened point and prepare their sub
marine mines and torpedo defenses for
immediate use. At a height of one mile
the balloon may sight the enemy at a
distance of eighty miles out at sea with
the aid of powerful glasses.
An attacking squadron may also use
the balloon to great advantage. BEFORE
attempting to enter port or to select a
position from which to lombard an iron
clad of the attacking force may approach
as near as possible with its balloon at a
convenient height. The observer, look
ing down upon the shore defcnscs, may
discover batteries in Sunken cmplace-
ments thatlwould not be visible from the
deck of a ship. The number of guns and
their probable caIiber and disposition in
every fort may be noted and reported by
telephone.

Torpedo boats and dynamite-gun YES
sells hiding behind points of land ready to
dart out to the attack may be discovered
and counted by the observer up in the
clouds. A rough chart may be sletched
from the balloon showing the position of
every fort and battery and all shore de-
lenses, and this may be sent down to the
Admiral. With this chart giving him
accurate information of the force and
disposition of the defense the Admiral
may select the best position from which
to lombard and flank his enemy. Dur.
ing the action with the shore batteries a
balloon may keep him informed of the
effect of his fire. and warn him of the ap.
proach of torpedo boats or any other at
taclling force.
In case a landing party is to be sent on
shore a balloon must be used to select a
place to land whore least likely to be
successfully opposed. A map may be
made showing the route to take after
landing, the strategic positions that
should be seized and the disposition of
the encmy's force.
Thus in all the phases of naval war
fare there are many possible uses to
which balloons may be put, aud the ex.
