New Kite Balloon.

A military kite balloon, observed by
thousands Of persons, landed near
Washington Court House, o., after a
trip from Akron, O., distance Of
about 120 miles. The balloon was
plotted by @. Fl. Roth and G. A. Wollen
of Akron, and made the trip in three
hours and As minutes.
The balloon was shaped like q large
cigar, but carried no motive power.
It was guided by means of planes, and
the trip was made for the purpose of
testing the steering, elevation and low
erirg apparatus.
The pilots said that it was the first
time that such trip in balloon so
equipped had been attempted in this
country, and that the idea is new and
undeveloped one in Europe. They said
that the fast time md perfect control
proved the value of the craft.
The balloon was shot at over farm
In Green county, but ballast was
thrown overheard, and the machine
rose out Of range.

Meanwhile she had lowered near. And
at last she was convinced that the
coast was clear.
Cautiously she opened the door and

moments she hesitated, to assure her.

up after their long march.
