To Cross the atlantic in a Balloon.

AMERICAN BALLOONIST AND lE, SANTOS DUMONT.

Suspended in a balloon a thousand feefc above the waves, a Philadelphia^ propoiei to attempt a voyage across | the Atlantic. 1 Tho length of the trip and the place of landing are merely matters of speculation, bat Prof, BsoKiel A King, whose record of 405 Moenaions places him in the front rank of the world's aeronauts, believea :;%ha.k the voyage can be made in corn ■"jjarative, safety and stands ready to -.fttlempt the ' feat In the interest 8 of '"aoienoe at any time. The huge bsl :! "i00D to be used on the trip will be coQßtrqoted under Prof King's super vision and from plans of his own making. No date has yet been set for the voyage, but as soon as the 20,000 dollars necessary for the trip has bren provided by some one interested ia scientific research the venture wilt be Bndertaken^ NOT A NEW THING " The idea of a balloon trip across the Atlantic is by no means a new ; one." said Prefessor King, " but it Is j an American idea from start to finish, j Fifty years ago an aeronaut named Wise naked Congress for an appro priation to enable him to mako the experiment; Wiae'a theory was that three miles above the surface of the sea there was a steady current of air blowing eastward, and that by taking advantage of this current he could make the voyage in safety, Congress foiled to make the necessary appro priation, however, and the project fell through. The impracticability of the project lay ia the impossibility of keep- Ing the balloon at one altitude for any length of feime." NO RETURN VOYAGE. " A peculiar thing about the trans- Atlantic trip is that a return voyage Is an impossibility, We could only go from here to Europe, because the trend of the wind is easterly } and there would be no current to carry na bask. It is impossible to foretell the length of the] voyage with any degree of accuracy, but the balloon should be constructed to remain afloat above the ocean for at least two months s My chief hope is that this trip will result In the discovery of some means of keeping the balloon stationary without Ibe use of the drag rope in order to lake advantage of the various currents of air. It would then be possible to travel by balloon to almost any part of She globe." 500,000 CUBIC FEET NECESSARY, Prof. King's plans call for a balloon with a capacity of 500,000 cubic feet, making it fcne largest ever constructed, with the exception of fcho Giffard bal loon, which contained 750,000 cubic feet, ,Tbe trans-Atlantic balloon will be about 300 feet Id circumference rad about 100 feet in height. '• It will practically be four bal loons in one, and will have three inner coverings cemented together in order to prevent any f scape of gas. Three cara wilt be hong under the huge baga. The one directly beneath the balloon will be rased for living purposes, Under this oar will be hung another carrying the cooking and heating arrangements, This car will b« placed at a safe dis tance ftom the balloon in order to minimise the danger of a fire or any explosion. To the right of the upper basket will hang a smill car to be used for observation purposes. This will be so arranged that it can be drawn to the living car by a ropa when necea eary. THE DRAG ROPK For purposes of safety an aluminum lifeboat will b<* hang beside the living car, and to this the aeronauts can re treat in case it becomes npcessary to abandon the balloon. Prof King expects to have two companions on his voyage- The drag rope, however, is Prof K'naj's chief reliatc for the success of the voyage. "At present," ha says, "there is bat one means of keeping a balloon at a stationary \ height, and that is the drag rope, a great advance on old methods With its aid I have crossed Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, and have gone 80 miles out on Lake Michigan and back again, The value of the drag? rope cannot be over estimated. I was the first aeronaut in the world to use it as a constant appendage to a balloon. I first tried if; in 1857, and have used it ever since, as have other aeronauts. By paying out rope we c»n cause the balloon to ascend, and by drawing it in *• reverse result is obfciined. The drag rope permits a gradual descent, and prevents tho balloon from coming to earth with a smash that wou'd endan ger- the lives »nd limbs of its occupants. By using the drag rope I expect to be able to keep the balloon steadily at it) altitude of a thousand feet above the earface ef the sea." SANTOS DWMONT'g FLYING Jlfci CRACKS. In Santos Damrnt *nd his "fifing jim-cracke" Professor King has Httlp ftitb, "Ballooning ■'will never be of value for purposes of travel," he says. '"A balloon is too much at the mercy of tbe winds to m«ke steering possible. The chief value of aerial voyages is from a meteorological standpoint. The opportunity to study air curWg cannot be gained so well in any other wbv, bat the life of a balloon is so short that we cannot investigate porperly, for we are unable to follcw the currents for any great distance or even to ascertain their duration, The btMoon is con stantly changing piece and currents. I left Buffalo once expecting to go to Canada, but the wind veered and we landed at Salem, N. J." Prof. King refuses to tell his age, because he fears the public nrgiit think h:m too old to «ttempt the trans- Atlantic voyage. He tlec'nrflathst he uever felt better in his life, and is ready to try the trip at any time.
