A captive Balloon.

The principal danger in captive WORK
Is the always present possibility Of the
wire rope parting, not because Of the
obvious result that the balloon, being
set free, would at once make off at speed,
but for reasons Of very simple technical
nature, albeit none the more pleasant by
reason of their simplicity. 1t must be
understood that when a captive balloon
has been sent up the required height, the
neck of the balloon has TO be tied up so
as 10 prevent the wind from exerting
pressure on the envelope and forcing
out the gas, which would result in the
balloon ycry shortly losing its lifting
power and descending. In free runs the
neck must always be wide open, for
otherwise any sudden expansion OK gaS
might burst the balloon. Hence if a
captive breaks away it is bound to make
an unduly rapid ascent, since ii Is sud
denly released from the restraint as we'll
as the weight OF the wire rope
OF course in such al emergency the
gas would at once commence tn expand
furiousIy, and unless the neck of the
balloon were instantly opened and kept
open the envelope would inevitably
burst In the shocking accident at the
Crystal palace III 1892, when poor Dale
and his comrades lost their lives, the
balloon was started with too much lift
and commenced 10 rise with undue ra-
pidity. Dale, the aeronaut. realizing the
danger, opened the neck and in his anx-
icty to see that il was clear looked into
1t, and it is supposed that his head
checked the outrush of heated gas with
the result that the envelope instantly
hurst, with terrible results. -Macmil.
