To Load Air Balloons With Stars Serpents &c &c When You Fill


your shells, you must first put in the serpents, rains, &c., or

whatever they are composed of, then the blowing powder; but the shells

must not be quite filled. All those things must be put in at the

fuse-hole, but marrons being too large to go in at the fuse-hole, must

be put in before the inside shall be joined. When the shells are

loaded, glue and drive in the fuses very tight. The number and

quantities of each article for the different shells are as follows:



BALLOONS ILLUMINATED.

oz.

Meal-powder 1

Corn-powder 0-1/2

Powder for the mortar 2



1 oz. driven or rolled stars, or as many as will fill the shell.
