BALLOONING.

TO THE EDITOR OE THE SUN.

Sir,— The result of the 21st scientific balloon ascent, as
compared with those found previously, are distinct and
highly Interesting. The balloon was remarkably free from
revolving on its axis, enabling me to make for the first time
satisfactory magnetical experiments. Also for the first time
I was enabied to make experiments with the view of deter-
mining the ratio of respiration to pulsation, an important
physiological inquiry.
The shy was cloudy at starting, but at the height of 800
feet it was clear, but of a pale blue ; the lower atmosphere
throughout the journey was thick, obscuring for the most
part the sun, and limiting the view to a few miles only.
The path of the lealloon was from Sydenham, over Penge,
near to Bromley, down ti sevenoaks-road to Tonbridge,
over Goudhurst, weir Cranbrook. overTenterder,toßomney
Marsh.
The views, though limited in extern:, were beautiful, there
being a constant succession of parks and g,,:itlemen's seats,
the whole country, co highly cultivated, appea,g like a
continuous garden, the sun often lighting up water, giCing
it the appearance of burnished gold:
When over Shortlands the fountains at the Crystal Palace
began to play, and although diminutive in appearance they
looked very pretty as lighted up by the sun.
The balloon left at 6ti 331 m in the evening of June 27,
with a temperature of 03 deg. At 6h 37m we were over
Penge, at the height of 600 ft, and the temperature was
57 deg; our path was then near to 13romley. Passed over
Hayes-common at heights varying from SOOft to 1,600 ft,
with temperatures varying from 55 deg to 57 deg. At 7h
lm the temperature was 55 deg ; at the height of 900 ft this
gradually declined to 43 deg by 7h 15ne at the height of
4,200 ft. The balloon then descended to 3,200 ft at 7h 26m,
and the temperature increased to 47 deg. At this time we
were passing down the Seveneaks-road. We then turned to
ascend, reached 5,000 ft at 7h 42m, being at that time nearly
over Tonbridge,and the temperature declined to 42 deg, Our
path then was a little south of Tonbridge, over Goudhutat,
near to Cranbrook, the balloon for the most part descending
with increasing temperatures to the height of 450 ft, nearly
over Tenterden, by 811 54m, the temperature of the air at
this height being 49 deg. We then ascended to 6000 ft at 9h
Bm. The temperature here was about 37 deg. but it was too
dark to read the very fine column of mercury in toy delicate
thermometer, and after this I could not read any ittetru-
ments. We touched the earth at 9h 21m in a field half
.a
mile from Cheyne Court, about four miles from Lydd and
five miles ffom the tYoaste At 9h 30m, by the light of a Lucie
far match, I read the tereperatlere at 461 deg; the flickering
and transitory light was bad, however, to read by.
There was one peculiarity in this ascent, as I have already
mentioned, distinct from all others, and that was the fre-
quent freedom from any revolution of the balloon. At times,
for 10 or 15 minutes, certain objecfs kept in the same azi-
muth t this enabled me to take 20 different sets of vibrations
of a horizontal magnet with as much accuracy as I could
take them on earth. The results of these experiments
showed clearly that the magnet vibrated in a longer time
than on earth. This result is very valuable in our present
state of magnetical knowledge.
There were in the ear, in addition to Mr Coxwell and my-
self, Mr Woodroffe, of the Royal Horse Guards, Mr W. F,
Ingelow, Mr E. Atkinson, Mr J. Atkinson, Mr F. W. Ellis,
and Mr Collins.

At the height cf 1,600 feet, the number of pulsations in
one minute of the several gentlemen were as follows :—Mr.
Woodroffe,, 120 ; Mr Ingelow, 108 ; Mr. E. Atkinson, 78;
Mr Collins, 108 Mr Colwell, 84; and myself, 104.:
The number of respirations in one minute were :—Mr
Woodroffe, 19; Mr Ingelow, 18; Mr E. Atkinson, 17; Mr
Collins, 11; Mr Coxwell, 15; and myself, 18i. Mr Collins
repeated the experiment with the same result, and spoke
very decidedly about his correctness.
The ratio of respirations to pulsations was therefore as
follows :—Mr Woodriffe, 1 to 6 ; Mr Ingelow, I to 6 ;
Mr E. Atkinson, 1 to 5; Mr Collins, I to 10; Mr Coxwell
and myself, 1 to si.
At midnight at Brooklands Mr Coxwell's pulsations ih
one minute were 90, Mt Collins 94, and mine 88 ; and re-
spirations were 18, 15, and 17,1 respectively; therefore, the
ratio of respirations to pulsations were Mr Coxwell 1 to 5,
Mr Collins 1 to 6, and mine 1 to 5.

The ratio of my ordinary respirations to my ordinary
pulsations is 1 to 41 ; so that the removal of even the small
amount of atmospheric pressure as experienced on this occa-
sion, disturbed the system, but with advantage, as enjoying
the purity of mountain air without fatigue, inoreasing the
ordinary pulsations by 20 to 30 in a minute, increasing also
the number of respirations, but not to the same degree.
This disturbance had lessened, but had not ceased, two
and a half hours after we were again on the ground.
On the following morning my pulsations numbered 76
and my respirations 17 in one minute, and had therefore
assumed their normal value,
One of the results of the experiments on June 13 was so
remarkable—viz., a uniformity of temperature at the time
of sunset for 2,000 ft from the earth, that it became very
desirable to determine whether this was accidental or not;
for if not accidental the decrease of temperature with in-
crease of elevation which holds good by day might be re-
versed at night, at least up to a certain height; 1 was
therefore desirous of having as many evening observations
as possible at this time of the year.
On June 20 I ascended from the Arboretum at Derby two
hours before sunset and descended one hour before sunset,
with results in close accordance with previous days ascents.
The experiments briefly detailed above would seem to show
but little difference of temperature at the times of sunset,
hut it is to be regretted I had no means of reading in the
balloon after,nine o'clock.

Our place of descent was Romney Marsh. I have to
thank Mr James Holt, of the Alliance Inn, Brookland, for
kind guidance and assistance.
The three descents within a fortnight were all managed ao
