Cavorite, was the anti-gravity material from Jules Vern's "Journey to the Moon".
He also wrote "2000 Leagues Under the Sea (not 20,000 that was the TV series).

Cavorite is from The First Men in the Moon, by H.G. Wells. Verne's book was De la terre à la lune ("From the Earth to the Moon"), and it used a cannon to send the ship into space.
Also, that undersea book you're thinking of was Vingt Mille Lieues sous les mers - "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas". ("2000 Leagues Under the Sea" would be "deux mille lieues sous la mer".)--
