purely scientific purposes. The cap
tain of the balloon was Professor Ed
Guard Spelterini, who has made more
than five hundred successful balloon
ascensions. He was accompanied by
a geologist, Albert Helm, and julius
Maurer, a meteorologist. One passen-
ger was taken along, student of Pro-
fessor Helm. The project of ascending
the Alps in a balloon was preached as
ong as 1891, but it was slow of realiza-
ton, as many preparations were neces-
sary.
The diameter of the balloon when
filled was about sixty feet; its capacity
5000 cubic feet 1t was made of Japan
csc pongee silk of great strength, and
was in forty-eight meridional cham
bers, consisting of no less than 3,16S
piece of silk. The interior received six
coats of varnish and the exterior four
coats. The covering net was made of
Anjou hemp, treated with rubber. The
weight of the balloon, with anchor,
ropes, and all, was 994 Kilograms. The
ballast, scientific instruments and pas
sengers added 2,096 Kilograms, so that
the balloon had to life 5000 Kilograms.
1t required five days to fill the balloon
with gas. and then there was a delay
of three days before the weather ap-

A report has just been made of the

Four men in the balloon Vega cross
ed the Alps from Stilten, in Switzer-
land. to Mount Soule in France, some
distance north of Dion. The speed at
times exceeded that of the most rapid
American express trains. A distance
of 142 miles was covered in 344 min

peared favorable. The wind must be
in the proper direction and the air not
too cloudy to prevent exact observa-
tions. Pilot balloons were sent up and
finally showed that the wind set in the
proper direction to carry the balloon
directly over the Alps and the Jura, |.
e., from the southwest.
Release of the Balloon.
Four men held the ropes of the cap
tive balloon, ready to loose them at
the signal. The passengers climbed
into the car that swung beneath it
and threw out sacks of ballast equal
to their weight M. Spelterni cried,
"Laissez tout" (Let go alb, and the
huge balloon majestically rose amid
the shouts of thousand sof spectators,
for scientific men had come from all
over Europe to see the experiment
Herr Helm tells the story of the trip
as follows:
'It was 1858 a. m. as the Vega rose.
At first she assembled at the rate of
over a yard a second, but soon COM
menced to go faster. We felt the wind
of the valley no longer at 1900 feet
but stood still for a moment poised
in air. The next minute, 11:06, we felt
the southeast wind of the upper air
and the balloon darted to northeast at
lightning speed, in straight line
The shadow of the balloon Iell on the
clouds with startling distinctness.
And now we waited with bated
breath to learn our fate. Would we be
dashed against the mountain by a
powerful wind current or-and al
11:41 our doubts were settled as we
scared above the highest peak of the
mountain Q0,616 feet), reaching a
height of 1882 feet above sea level
Our course did not diverge a moment
from a straight line. When we were
$500 feet over the valley we Travelled
horizontally ten feet a second; wher
We were $4,000 feet high we moved hor-
izontally thirty three feet a second, bu
now we went first at eighty-two feet
then at lightweight feet a second, ov.
er mile a minute.
THE currents of air in the valley
| give not the least intimation of the
direction or force of the upper cur
rents. Our course, so long as we were
! in the upper current of air, was aston
ishingly straight, for we diverged from
| the direct route in our course hardly
| half mile to right or left. We wer,

cat 1856 we were 1883 feet abov,
sea level, and then We descended slight
ly. At 3:43 we reached the highes
point attained during our voyage, %,
440 feet. The balloon was in such goot
condition that We could have stayed u
in it all night, and we had plenty 0
ballast, so the captain asked us:

Paris before midnight and on the ocean
before daybreak. This woult never do,
and as a descent by night is accom-
panied by many dangers we decided
that we must land now if at all. From
3:43 to 4:23 we descended from 22,400
feet to 1920 feet, at rate of 1863
minute; almost seven feet a second
Beneath us was q sea of mist.
Its going too fast; drop a sack
of sand overboard-now another sack!'
the captain shouted.
THE sun was hidden behind clouds.
We were passing through shower OF
sand, for the balloon was actually fall
ing faster than the sand we had thrown
out. 1t was the most intensely thrill
ing and dangerous moment of the
voyage. Could we stop her tremen-
dous descent? If not, our contact with
the earth would we'll night annihilate
us! Imagine falling mile and a
half!
But over went more ballast. and
more-and yet more. We had dropped
almost mile when we slackened as
we passed into the clouds of mist. 1t
was depressingly gloomy and gray
about us. We looked down. Spell
terini was the first to see the straight
white lines of streets shining in VII
lage. All was at last we'll. The mist
did not reach so far as the earth. We
| could now see how to land, but there
was a strong east wind. We sailed
over the red roofs of village; it was
Riviere.
Half sack of sand overheard or
we shall land among the hop poles

And as we foated to the east we
reached an open, treeless plateau, with
woods behind. Here it was or no.

Let go the anchori"
THE anchor caught, the vents were
opened and hardly twenty sec
onds later the balloon lay half empty
on the ground. 1t was 4:37 p. m. The
| balloon had passed over 142 miles in
| 344 minutes, or five hours and forty
] four minutes. In the upper current
it had travelled 11S miles in 2S5 min
utes. This is forty and a half sec
ond. We had been Saveling at rail-
way speed.
Seemed to be Stationary.
But you do not feel the speed in
the balloon. You seem to hover sta
| tionary in that wondrous silence
There was not the least jolting; We
did not know that we were moving IN
less we looked intently at the earth be
meath and saw 1t slipping by. We fell
the motion as little as we feel the mo-
ton OF the earth around the sun.
Our balloon journey had been Meth.
er the highest nor the longest evel
taken, but it was the first that haC
been taken over a specified mountain
and the first in which balloon had re
manned above 1900 feet for hours al
time. We did not even feel dizzy

travelling by balloon, a long-mooted

travelling by balloon, long-mooted
question.
"The most wonderful thing of all to
us was the perfect quiet and sacred
silence of the heights. Whether the
balloon went up or down, or rushed
through the air with railway speed,
we felt none of 1t. We were in abso-
lutte quiet. Then we knew what quiet
is. About $4,000 feet you hear the
blood rushing in your ears; at $4,000
feet the noise of the circulation of
your blood is unbearable. 1t is alto
gether different from the stiffness on
the mountain top. There is still the
noise coming from below even though
brokenly. But with US the silence was
absolute-impressive
Until. we had assembled to 10000
feet all felt well. At $4,000 feet DR..
Biedermann complained of palpitation
of the heart At 10000 feet DR.. Maurer
complained of severe sticking pains
in the back of his head and of
nauseau. At $4,000 feet and 10000 feet
l felt wonderfully well, sitting in the
corner of the car on a sack of ballast.
Half dreaming / looked out over the
shining clouds, or at the yellowish
horizon, or upward at the black sky.
l did not want any oxygen, | felt no
difficulty in breathing, no uneasiness
whatever, no air hunger But the
ability to work was gone, my energy
was lost. 1t required a great effort
for me to take my note book up and
write in it. My pulse was very weak.
I could hardly find it, but it was
quietly beating sixty to sixty-three
times a minute.
Indifferent to Life.
"All at once l felt freezing cold. But
it was so delightful to sit there quietly.
Better to freeze than to take the trou-
BILE to put on the cloak that lay at my
side. But my conscience spoke, say
ing, You ought to observe, look
around, note what you SECT and I look
ed out, but | noticed nothing and wrote
not word. Only to sit quiet and let
the balloon ascend to heavenly heights,
that must be a beautiful end. But
when we had decended 1900 or 1900
feet we were as new born. The effects
| of the rarifed air were felt only while
we were in it.
Strange to say, during all our trip,
none of US felt the least desire for
/ food. M

loon is like trying to describe sym
