HIS INITIAL FLIGHT INTO SPACE WAS
AT PATHS IN 1893.

sions ~ means of balloons were made
in Paris in the year 1883. pilatve des
Rosters was the first and most illustri-
Gus of the long list of who
have fallen victims to their desire to
advance the art of aerostatics.
In July and August of the year 1888
balloons filled with hydrogen gas wee
sent up from Paris. and in September
at Versailles the first balloon was sent
up freighted with living animals.
In the same year Montgolfier con-
structed a balloon which he claimed
would be capable Of carrying passen-
gers, his workshop being in the gardens
of the Faubourg st. Antoine. The bal
loon was sixty feet in height and forty
eight broad. Its exterior was richly
! painted and embroidered, there being
represented upon it the twelve signs of
the zodiac, the arms of the king Of
France and numberless f1eurs-de-lis and
lower down, amid a crowd of grotesque
heads and garlands of flowers. a flock
of eagles. with extended wings. that
seemed to be flying and supporting the
huge balloon upon their shoulders.
