OVER SEAS BY BALLOON.

Shall we go to Europe by balloon?
Yes, say the Wrights the most daring
and successful uavigators of the air
which the world has yet produced.
Yes, says II. Helm Clayton, Americas
most distinguished meteorological, who
has for sixteen years made careful
study of upper air currents. Not only
may we go, taking advantage Of what
has become known to meteorologists as
1.-THE great highway Of the air" but we
may return for this highway is not q
one way ronte but issues return tickets
to all who will study its schedules and
take advantage Of them with the proper
equipment. The rails of this vast cir
cult road of the upper air are laid, 30 TO
speak, even the motive power is provid
cd the knowledge of the schedules has
been furnished us by Professor Clayton
and other careful scientific observers;
the only remaining need is the safe and
sure equipment for reaching this upper
air current and staying in it until the
desired point is reached, and men daring
enough to trust their lives to the first
voyage and thus point the way to thou
sands of eager followers.
In other words, balloon several
miles high at the latitude Of Boston
finds wind blowing from west to east
which il ~ dependable rs the motion Of
the earth itself, which will whisk it a.
cross 3, 900 miles Of sea at q rate Of speed
far exceeding that of the swiftest ocean
liner AT point near the equator it
would find an equally steady return
current which would watt il at equal
speed back to America. With a dirigi.
BILE capable of seeking favorable local
winds or proceeding against moderately
unfavorable ones to traverse the space
from England to the Canary Islands or
from Key West to Boston it can be seen
that circuit would be established
which would have great possibilities,

That Dingley law is succeeded by a
Payne law IL due not to lack OF state
craft in Congress, but to lack OF sim
pie honesty. That the party responsible
for the enactment Of the Payne law has
the hardlhood TO give the public stone
after promising bread is due to a con
fdence in the average voters Indifferent
interest in legislation, and the ease with
which the masses may be manipulated
by persuasion and through party loyalty
during a political campaign.
There is needed revolution OF the
voters against their exploiters, to over
throw the existing system Of graft, re
gardess of party labels Such revolu
ton has been predicted before each re-
cent congressional election. 1t il again
being predicted. But the men respon'
sible for the Payne law seem to have
full confidence in its failure to mater
alize. Their conclusions are drawn
from knowledge OF political history
and Unsuitable under the axiom tina,
history has habit of repeating itself.
