TO GROSS OCEAN IN BALLOON.

DANISH AERONAUT EXPECTS TO MAKE THE ATTEMPT IN NEAR FUTURE.

From Bremen comes the news that the Danish aeronaut, Ludwig Jchansen, who has made more than 500 ascensions at Berlin and at Copenhagen, is about to embark for New York, where he hopes to interest the editor of a large paper in a projected flight across the Atlantic in his new dirigible balloon. Mr. Johansen, who was unable to take part in the international balloon race because of his inability to raise the necessary money, feels confident that he will be 'able to cross from Cherbourg, France, to some point on the coast of America in record time if the American editor will supply the money to construct a big balloon equipped with a motor of his own invention. He proposes to take turns in navigating the air with some American aeronaut, and will carry as passenger an American newspaper man if he can find one brave enough to accompany him.
