In an interesting old letter dated 1854
Talma, the French tragedian, discusses
the future of balloons. At that period

folk, but few people could resist the
fascination of a voyage through the
air, expensive and dangerous though it
was. Talma remarks in this letter that

through the means of these balloonists.
The most distant objects will be pre-
scented to the mind of the traveller al
most in a glance. Where will it lead
us-to the moon? They speak Of a
