The next year a balloon was first used for scientific purposes, and about the same time one crossed the English channel from England to France. From then on, numberless ascents have been made, and great heights reached...
...lifting power of the atmosphere and the heating power of gas were discovered that man first rose in the air. Only two years after the discovery of the balloon, Dr. Jeffries of Boston made an ascent for a scientific study of the atmosphere, and soon after crossed the English Channel in his balloon.

Mechanical contrivances for recording temperature and pressure were therefore devised...

The cutting off of the river channel is to allow the construction of the main section of the permanent dam and roadway. It will be fully a year from now before the completion of the entire work can be observed, for after the dam is finished a roadway 100 feet wide is to be built along its top, serving as a permanent substitute for the old Craigie Bridge. The shutting off of the water...
