NAVAL BALLOONS AND MITES.

~~~-S~~~~~~~~
Until flying machines are perfected
there is not much prospect Of realizing
Tennyson's dream Of "the nations airy
navies graphing in the central llne.'
But n writer in the London Magazine
expresses the opinion that kites and
balloons would be valuable in naval
campaigns as aids in collecting ana
distributing news and for purposes OF
observation by increasing the range OF
vision.
From the deck Of n warship the ex.
tent OF view Is about seven miles.
From the car Of a captive balloon sent
up from the deck the view at an alti-
tude Of about fifteen hundred feet ex-
tends to forty.five miles. Even at an
altitude of only three hundred feet one
could see twenty-three miles.

thing. and In organizing the fire bal
loon might be very useful-even more

and seaports: for the lookout In the
balloon would inform the gunhers
where to direct their shells. while the
ships kept at a safe distance from the
land guns.
The increased activity in marine bal.
looming is closely connected with the
progress OF submarine navigation.
From a balloon It is possible to dis.
cover the location Of vessels under the
sea. With the naked eye objects ut
