Aerial Experiments
Made Centuries Ago

Aerial navigation is no new aspira-
ton Of man. Long before Christopher
Columbus sailed in western seas and
discovered the vast continents of the
New World medieval scientists had
given attention to the problem Of con-
quering that other element which still
defes the skill Of man, but which, the
world Is beginning to believe, will be as
navigable as water before the twentieth
century wanes.
A famous Augustine monk, known to
history as Albert Of Saxony, who lived
in the 14th century, was the first man
on record to define the primal princi-
pies Of the science of aeronautics. His
ideas were followed up by Portuguese
named Francisco Mendor, who, how
ever, made no material contribution to
the science.
An Airboat.
Late in the 18th century came Fran
els Lana with proposal to navigate
the air by means of a boat raised from
the ground by four hollow balls made
of thin copper from which the air had
been exhausted. Here was the germ of
the navigable balloon which the Ger
mans of today are trying to work out
to perfection in the form of "dirigi-
bIes. -
In the middle of the 18th century
Cavendish made the notable discovery
that hydrogen was nearly eleven times
lighter than ordinary air, and this for
a while revolutionized the methods Of
ambitious aeronatus.
Utility of Air Bags.
Hardly had this idea been promul
gated than an Edinburgh man, named
Black. made practical experiments with
bags filed with hydrogen. These rose
rapidly to the ceiling Of his sitting
room. and thereby demonstrated the
utility of air bags for mounting into
space, 4 dozen years later two brothers
arose who might well be styled the VIII
bur and Orville Wright of the 18th CEN
tury. These were Joseph and Stephen
Montpelier, who produced the first fire
balloon. this being a large silken bag
filed with heated air. With this new
form of balloon they made an ascent
at AnnOnay, in France. 1t was in one
of these Montgolfier balloons that dar
ing aer0naut named Tytler made an
ascent at Edinburgh on a summer s day
in 1884, to the amazement of eonsid-
cradle crowd.
First Woman Aeronaut.
About the same time a woman, Nine.
Thible, won distinction by being the
first of her sex to make a balloon as
cent. The first balloon ascent was not
made in England till a month later, and
four months afterward the first ascent
from Irish soil was made from the
Ranelagh Gardens in Dublin.
Having thus learned to rise and de-
scend in the air in safety the aeronau
teal adventures next sought to travel
through the air, and the oversee passage
naturally proved an irresistible fasein-
alton. 1t was so long ago as 1885 that

with q smaller balloon and with life
boat in attendance But he never got
out TO sea- for a storm burst, eompell-
ing hasty descent, and the Professor
narrowly escaped with his life.
In the last thirty years balloon vov-
ages have become familiar enough, and
parachute descents became a passing
craze, frequently attended with fatal
results. 1t is only within the past ten
years that serious efforts have again
been directed towards solving the prob
lem, not of flight--in a sense that was
solved long ago-but of navigable con-
troll of aerial vessels.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-11-14

the aerial voyage across the Strait of
Dover was first egotiated-and with
success. Two bal.oonists, Blanchard
and Jeffries, made the ascent at Dover.
and aided by favorable winds were
waited across the Channel TO Calais.
where they safely alighted at a spot
not far from the scene of NJ. Bleriot s
great and successful feat.
In the Irish Channel.
Years passed without this feat being
repeated, and in 1872 a balIoonist. nam
ed Sadler, who had established a repu-
tatlon with many successful expedi-
tlons overland, tried TO cross the Irish
Channel. This time he failed and fell
into the sea near Holyhead Harbor. He
was picked up all right, but he seems
to have made no further attempt to
cross the water in so frail a barque.
Just before Queen Victoria came to the
throne a still more daring essay in
aeronautics was made by the building
OF big balloon, named the Nassau. A
stoutiy-bullt ear 10 hold three persons
was attached, and in this a voyage was
undertaken from the famous Vauxhall
Gardens, then one of the most popular
resorts of Londoners.
The secret of aerial navigation was
still undiscovered, however, and the
balloon being rudderless the voyagers
were entirely dependent on unknown
air currents, which carried them right
across the sea into Germany, and after
being in the air fer eighteen hours the
adventurous aeronauts safely descended
at Weiiburg, in Nassau-the very pro-
vince after which their balloon was
named.
Long Distance Ballooning.
Fifty years ago there was exhibited
to the Academy of Sciences in Paris a
model of an aerial ship fitted with the
screw device for propulsion. But this
invention never got beyond the "mod-
el' stage. It was also in 1859 that
four Americans, fred with the same
fever to conquer the air, Travelled in a
balloon car from St. Louis in the south
to Jefferson in the north, distance of
nearly twelve hundred miles. When
they set foot to ground again all four
were nearly dead, so exhausting had
been their experiences aloft.
In 1867 the Irish Channel was again
safely crossed by means of balloon,
the passage being made from Dublin to
Westmoreland. At this time, too, the
science of aerial navigation was placed
on definite basis with the establish
ment of the Aeronautical Society of
Great Britain, one of the foremost pro-
moters being the Duke of Argyll.
Designs on America.
The most sensational endeavor in the
story of ACCOMMODATION was the pro-
posal of Professor Wise to cross the At
lantic from New York to Liverpool in
a balloon. For this purpose he con-
structed two balloons of different sizes
arranged after the fashion of modern
bi-plane. These had joint lifting
of $1,000 pounds. But the idea
was found impracticable in working,
and Wise decided to venture the voyage

SHOWS PROSPERITY WAVE.
Railways Are Placing Heavy Orders for
Equipment.

The best evidence that the country
is again on firm basis of prosperity
is shown in enormous purchases and
bids for equipment and betterments by
railroads. These infallible arteries of
trade must speedily adjust themselves
to the rising flood of business and their
orders mean additional prosperity for
the mills and manufacturers.
The Pullman company of Chicago is
now bringing out heavy order from
the Santa Fe, the first passenger equip
ment purchased by that system since
1906, owing to depression in business.
This order is made operative by the
Balen cutoff and other new lines. It
calls for 100 steel passenger cars.
The Baltimore & Ohio is in the mar
ket for 5000 freight cars, 20 passenger
ears and IS locomotives, for immediate
delivery. This order amounts to $1O,-
100000.
The Chesapeake & Ohio road has or
dered so new locomotives.
The Chicago & Northwestern has
placed orders for 1000 boxears, 500 gon-
dolas and 500 ore cars.
The Missouri Pacific will receive on
August l, rs of an order for 100 loco
motives.
In addition to these there are mis-.
cellaneous orders placed in smaller
lots for 1000 mining cars and 5000 9th
er cars of all descriptions.
