Kite Balloons for Keeping a Lockout
Upon the Coast.
The use of balloons for keepinu
a lookout upon the coast has been
attempted in several cases by
steamships, but the trials which
have been made with the ordinary
spherical balloon, says the scien.
tific American, did not prove sue
%cessful, and difficulties arose
which were insurmountabie, ow.
ing 10 the fact that the balloon is
constantly driven about by the
wind. A new system has been de.
vised by a Swedish inventor, Par.
seval-Siegsfeld, which bids fair to
be successful, as il consists of n
balloon kite, and like ali appa.
ratus OF this kind IL takes the di.
rection Of the wind and keeps its
position with but little oscillation.

serve the different straits which
separate them, an apparatus Of
this kind is especially needed. and
Therefore "A special boat has been
constructed which carries the lite.
balloon, aud in this way affords an
oh cryation point over a great ex.
lei OF the coast, and any hostile
approach can be Mt once noted.
The new vessel measures IB2 feet
long aud "a feet maximum width.
and cages 200 tons. 1t is provided
with a set OF apparatus which in.
hates the balloon with hydrogen.
The gas is contained in large reser.
Voirs and is sent 10 the balloon
through a set of tubes. The ma.
chimes which serve TO initiate the
balloon or to draw out the gas r
operated by electric motors. The
current is produced on board the
vessel bya dynamo which is driven
from two petrol motors of 40
horsepower. One peculiar feature
Is that the vessel is not built 10
