Philadelphia Press.
The man who made this bold and
striking remark is Professor Henry Al
len Hazen, expert meteorologist of the
United States weather bureau, who
has nearly completed arrangements for
a series of not less than 1000 high alti-
tudo balloon %ascensiOns, to be made as
often as three times IL day, under II new

pose. The proposition is now before.
the board of advisers. who may be .eX-
pected to report on the application as
soon as Professor Langley. secretary of
the Smithsonian, shall return to his
post. Professor Langley himself Is
much interested in the subject of free
air observation, especially in an idea
he has Of sending up self-registering
instruments to-. the highest possible
attitudes without risking the presence
Of a human being in a balloon. Pro
fessor Hazcn. however. regards this
method as only supplementary to the
work of personal observation and In
stl.ument readings which he has in
view. Aerial transit across. the Attain
tic ocean is the. ultimate object toward
which Professor Hazen's plans are
tending. He states unreservedly that
he will make the trip if he lives. He is
already looking forward to the con-
struction of Il balloon basket in the
form of a completely equipped open
boat with air-tight compartments. In
this vehicle. stored with food and drink
for many days, the professor will set
out Without qualm OF fear. The. only
apparent difficulty that has ever beset
the problem has been the inability of
the %aeronauts to keep the balloon on Il
steady horizontal plane. The rising, and
falling of the balloon can be regulated
by an original device of Professor Ha-
zen's. He will carry a bucket ut the
end of Il long rope, and water drawn
| from the >ean will constitute the nee
essary b.|.st whenever his balloon
seems to get more buoyan.. The water
will be poured out again when the bal
loon needs buoyancy.
