EfAELONN ASCENSENN.

A boy named Joseph Gates, aged l6
made a remarkable balloon ascension
from Oakland. opposite San Francisco,
California, on ths 28lh of August The
balloon was Of the largest size bat was
not sufficiently inflated and would not
raise with the Gronaut The car was
then taken off and small board la>hed
across the hoop. Upon this the eronaut
took his seat, but he was too heavy. The
crowd then called for boy, and Gttes
who was near peddling fruit, gave his bas
ket to his partner and jumped on board;
and without any provisions or clothing
more Than his ordinary suit he rose, be
tore the Rronaut coul give him any in,
structionS, more than TO pull the rope
when he wished to come down. The boy
sat upon the hoop which was only an inch
square and leaned back upon the cords,
When up about half mile. he pulled the
cord and it broke. The balloon flew ra.
pidly to the northeast, at height OF about
q miles. The boy retained his presence
of mind, took ont his knife, opened it, put
it in his teeth, and tried to climb the cords
to cut the balloon but the cords were on
ly quarter of an inch in thickness, and
he could not.climb them. The gas finally
escaped so that the balloon descended
about l5 miles from Benicia, in Suisur
Valley, and so miles in direct line from
the starting point.
