Aerial. Photoqraphy.

The idea of taking photographs
from a balloon appears to have origi-
mated with Nadar as long ago as 1870,
but it was not until the perfection OF
the gelatino- bromide dry plate, and
the consequent possibilities of instan-
taneeus photography that practical
results were obtained. Attempts were
made in France, in 1878 by Dagron
and by Triboulet, and in 1880 by Des-
marets while in 1883 some very sue
oessful photographs were taken in
England by Shadboldt. Photography
from balloons thus became recognized
as valuable adjunct, especially in
connection with military observations,
and it's possibilities have by no means
yet been exhausted.
The excellent work which has been
done by French topographers, notably
by Col a. Laussedat, using cameras
of special design, arranged so as TO
enable several correct perspective

this effect because Of the large num-
