HIGH IN THE AIR.
A Balloon Goes Up From Lon
don Vatil Mercury is 81
Below Freezing.

London, Sept. 16.-Next to the high
est balloon ascension on record was
made here Wednesday afternoon in the
Crystal Palace, Sydenham, by Stanley
Spencer, the we'll known aerOnaut, and
Dr. BersOn. The balloon, which was
inflated with pure hydrogen and has a
capacity of Sc, 500 cubic feet, attained an
altitude of q. 500 feet.
At the height of $4,000 feet the air
was so rarified that the occupants of
the car were compelled to breathe
compressed oxygen by tubes. The tenn
perature was 81 degrees below freezing
point. The atmosphere was clear and
the coast distinctly visible. The balloon
finally descended near Rumford, in
Essex.
