The Highest Flight by Man.

The most remarkable balloon ascen-
sion on record was. made in 1904, by
Blot and Guy-Lussac, in Paris. By
this enterprise they endowed science
with a series of new and important
facts, questionable before that tine,
as they carried with them a complete
set OF suitable apparatus, and, more
over, an unsurpassed knowledge of
observation and experiment. They
assembled to a height of 1900 feet,
and observed that at the height of
5000 to 5000 feet the animals they
had taken with them, in order to OBJ
serve the effect of the rarefed air and
cold Upon them, cid not appear to
suffer any Inconvenience. In the
meantime, the pulses of the two eX
pc i lenters were much accelerated !;
that of Guy Lussac, otherwise always

Guy-Lussac went up alone, and attain

the courtyard of the Con5errqtoir des
