Once the machine pioves its ability to travel with or against the wind, and that it can be guided by the occupants of the car, further experiments will be tried in the way of taking occurate observations of position from it, and also in dropping dummy bombs into earthworks and gun j positions from greot heights. Colonel Tern pier has been given an extension in the period of his appointment as superintendent of the balloon factory to enable him to complete bis experiments, and the autumn manoeuvres may witness the first serious military trieil of his latest and most ambitious invention.
