This technique was referred to as candling. The "Star Spangled Banner" did not become a national anthem until 1931. It was designated by an Act of Congress. First hot air balloon flight traveled for 5.5 miles over Paris and lasted for 23 minutes.The first subway system in America was built in Boston, Massachusetts in 1897. Before 1883, the three-cent U.S. stamp was also used for advertising. The advertisment was located on the back of the stamp for various products.
