The progres of a balloon is, therefore, precisely that of the rate of travel of the particular volume of atmosphere in which it happens to be merged at any given moment, so that the furnishing of a sail could increase its speed by a yard a year, and of course, it would be absolutely hopeless to employ. a sail in such a fashion as to defy the wind.
