Proved Successful in France.

sion at noon to-day, with the deliberate intention
of dropping into the water. This daring experiment

recent French invention
The water anchor consists of cone-shaped
canvas bag, which will hold about two hundred
gallons of water. The mouth of the bag is kept
distended by iron hoop. Attached to it will be
15O feet of rope. When it is desired to anchor
the water the bag is dropped overheard to drag
trawlwise until filed with water. The resistance
then offered is sufficient hold the balloon practl-
cally stationary,
If balloon is being carried out to sea. the tide
If flooding, would serve to carry the balloon in
shore. If the tide were ebbing. the bag would be
sufficient drag to hold the balloon back until
boat could put out to it, COmte de la Vaux used
a similar anchor while attempting to the
Mediterranean Sea. some time ago. At another time
he made successful water trip of 300 miles. using
