THE GREAT BALLOON The work of initiating
the great trans Atlantic balloon began yesterday
in Reservoir square, in the prcsenc Of n number
Of spectators The first thing done was to wrap
several folds Of cotton cloth around the end Of the
gasppe attached temporarily 10 the nnin of the
Manhattan Gas C"mpany's works, for the pur-
pose of preserving the neck Of the balloon from
the rust Of the pipe. and to make n soft bedding,
in order to prevent an escape of gas canvas
sail was drawn along in the range of the neck Of
the balloon, and one end placed under tho gas
pipe. while the other end stretched away to the
spot where the valve was suspended between two
high pnles. Beneath this canvas straw was laid
to the depth If several inches. These arrange
ments having been completed, the neck ofthe bal
loon WAS drawn toward the pipe. and the valve
rope, of small cotton cmd, having been adjusted
was placed over the pipe and drawn tightly,
to DO mnde quite secure. Over this other
layers of cotton cloth were wrapped. and tho
whole ashed to the pipe with strong twine to the
length Of about Is inches. The balloon was then
folded in such way as to gradually expand the
case. On the folds heavy bags ofsnnd Worc plac-
e1 to keep them down. This having been done
the network, which is to be thrown all over the
balloon, and to which the basket and the bont are
to he attached, was 80 disp re that ,hcrn mig
lie ENHANCEMENT the initiation proo"eds md
the balloon acquires it's nNeensve power. The
gas was turned on Mt 10! o'clock. and inst tanty
rushed through the te-inch pipe in u dense
volume In very few seconds, the entire neck
ot the balloon filled, and the body Of the bal
loon began to swell. Th" prccaution of station
ing men all alongthc length of the balloon was BY
no means useless. MS they had quite enough to do
to remove The weight from the place wlere the pas
,agcf the rna too small and so to adjust the
folds "f the cloth as ~ secure an eqnable pas
sage throu shnut During four minutes the meter
nIcatcd that 1000 cnbic feet had been supplied
to the erial ship. At 1925 the gas was again
tur. ed on, and at 1885 it had reached the head
Of the balloon which began to expand. At the
