WAR BALLOONS.
Factory for Their Manufacture Is
 Found at Aldershot.

w. G. Fitz-Gerald in Harper's Weekly
 The utility of war balloons was early made manifest to the British and ac- cordingly the factory at Aldershot' which we are about to describe, was established under the supervision of Lieutenant Colonel Templer an officer of engineers who is recognized in all the armies of the world as one of the foremost authorities on military aerostatics.
 Colonel Templer is always pleased to have an opportunity of showing his splen- didly equipped factory; and the very first department into which he ushers the visitor is that in which long lines or girls are sewing together sections of gold heaters skin, out of which the envelopes of the balloons are made.
 The workshops are all wonderfully in teresting. There is one for the weaving and testing of the vast network of cord age that confines the envelope of the bal loon; another for the construction of the wicker cars of all sizes; third for brass turning, and so on.
 When all the departments of the bal loon factories have done their part to- ward forming one of these monsters, these parts are rapidly put together in a shed or barn of great height and spa ciousness. The enormous cover is laid
