The speed and course of the wind and the distance to the enemy being ascertained, it only remains to locate the starting-point in the proper line, set the time escapement to the number of minutes or hours required for the balloon to travel that distance, then start the balloon. Dynamite and such like powerful explosives may be thus dropped upon the enemy from overhead, where he is least protected. A fort, an army, or vessels may be thus destroyed by means wholly irresistible.
