Mr, Glaisher's Balloon Ascent,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir,—At the last meeting of the British Aeaociatiou, the
balloon committee were charged with experiments to be
made at times in the year and at times in the day at which
no experiments had hitherto been made, particularly at
night and in the winter months. No arrangement has, as
yet, been made to take night observations; but those of the
winter have been determined upon.
The first of these took place from Woolwich Arsenal on
the fit st day of this month. In consequence of the balloon
propared for these experiments haying been wantonly de-
atreya atelettei.neat a .koreaterWoW,4-6 tirr-Anp,ll-E4 ',l
uso the best balloon Mr Conran. bare With this we cannot
hope to ascend more than one mile and a half or two miles,
and if, as on this occasion, the course of the balloon is to-
wards the sea, not even that elevation can be attempted,
but at the cost of greatly abbreviated time for observation,
and the sacrifice of all results excepting those connected
with temperature.
If, with the small balloon, our course should at any time
be inland,!both objects can be secured by keeping tho gas at
the firet part of the journey, and ascending to the limit to
which the balloon will take us just before
descending.
Tho balloon left at 2h 37m p.m., with a temperature of
48 dog, which remained unchanged until 600 ft were passed.
It then declined gradually to 311 deg, at the height of
5,200 ft, by 3h 58m. On falling to 4,000 ft the temperature
increased to 331 deg, and declined to 30 dog at 5,0001:1 by
3h 26m. On again descending to 4,2001 t there was an in-
crease of 2 dog, and a decline to 29 deg at the height of
5,400 ft, by 31.1 42m; a gradual increase to 41 deg at 1,400 ft,
then no change on descending through the next 6001 t, when
the last observation was made at 4h 23m, and we
read the
ere on
on the ground at 4h 25m, when it was too dark to
instruments.
The temperature of the dew-point, at that temperature
at which the water in the air is deposited visibly upon sub-
stances cooled down to that degree, as the bright
the metallic
cups of a hygrometer, was 8 deg. below that of f
the earth to the height of 1,500 ft.; the air then became
much more humid, and at 2,100tt, the difference between
these two temperatures was 5 deg, only. • On passing a
W.N.W. wind at 2,3001 t. the difference
the height between them
of
became 11 deg., and was nearly 20 deg. at
s,oAft., where the air was very dry. On descending, the
two temperatures approached each other, and at 4,000 ft.
high were separated by 10 deg. °rip. On again ascending
the difference increased to 23 deg., the temperature of the
air being 32 deg. and that of the dew-point 9 deg., and it
continued dry at high elevations.
On descending below 3,500 ft at 3h 53m the air again be-
came humid, and continued so at all lower elevations, par-
ticularly between the heights of 800 ft and 1,200 ft, where
the two temperatures were nearly alike and the balloon was
covered with water. Some strata of wet air were passed of
no great thickness, without perceptible fog, depositing a
good deal of moisture.
Tho reading of a delicate blackened bulb thermometer,
placed in the full rays of the sun, which read 56
deg before
leaving the earth, never read so much as one degree higher
than another delicate thermometer most carefully protected
from the sun during the whole journey. The bulbs of those
two thermometers wore within two inches of each other.
No tinge of ozone was shown throughout the
journey.
When at the height of 3,000 ft, the concussion from proving
guns at Woolwich affected the balloo duetthe n, an causeumd ever
toy
rope to vibrate perceptibly, and allinstruments
shake—and this took place each time a report was heard,
even up to the height of 5,000 ft. ne no less thanono threre-
echoes were heard following the repOort,c but usually e
port alone was heard.
A very delicate magnet, lent to me by
Captain Evans,
R.N., F.R.S., which vibrates in a little more than two
seconds on the earth, was observed on 10 different occasion,
and the time of vibratioe appeared to be lengthen not-
withstanding the lower temperature of the higher regons.
Another magnet less delicately mounted, and which 1
have frequently used, also occupied a somewhat longer time
in vibrating than on the earthen all round there was mist;
. For an altitude of 20 degree
the remainder of the sky was for the most part clear
earth the
. On
examining the sun with a spectroscope part
earth
colours of the spectrum were moderately bright. The line
B at the red end and G at the violet end were the extreme s
limits, and there were not many besides the principal
between. The wind was nearly W. near the earth. Ou
reaching 1,100 feet we entered a S.W. current, and thought
we should cross the river Themes N. of Erith, but on pass-
ing above 2,000 feet we entered a W.N.W. current, and
passed at 3h, some little distance S. of Brthe smoke from
ill'. Wo were
over Dartford at 3h. 16m., and hero we saw
Gravesend passing southwards, or S.S.W., till it reached
1,000 ft., and then to turn upon itself. At this time, at the
height of 5,000 ft., we were moving W,N.W., or towards
Cobham-park; at 3h. 34m. we were S. of Greenhithe, and
nearly over Darent-wood. On examining the country it
had an appearance we had never seen before at the h
rfedeigh tot
of a mile up to this time, all hills having
been dwa
level plains, and all valleys baying been raised so that the
earth has appeared uniformly plain. On the contrary, now,
every variation of surface, every hollow, every rise were
clearly shown ; the course of the river Darent was traced
for miles, with every elevation of land near it, but we could
not see anything moving on the earth. The sun was shin-
ing; the sky was perfectly clear and of a deep blue; on exa-
mining the sun's spectrum, it was indeed different from be-
low; the colours were all far brighter, the lines very nume-
rous, extending from A at the red end to far beyond H at
the violet end, which line was made up of Au lines, The
