SEVEN MILES
ABOVE EARTH
Narrative of the Highest
Balloon Ascension Ever
Made by Any AerOnaut
THRILLING TRIP INTO CLOUDS
Meteorological GlaiSher Nearly
SuccumbS and COxwell Opens
Airship's Valve With Teeth

The well-known meteOrologist, James
Glaisher. who died in England last
winter, has left full and corrected ac-
count of his historic balloon ascent
made in 1862. when he reached the high
est altitude ever attained by man. HIS
first ascent, with Coxwell, was made
from WoIverhampton on JH4x- IL, 1852.
They rose to a height Of five miles,
Travelled sixty miles in two hours and
descended just in time to avoid dip
in the Wash. Two important things
were learned on the excursion-frst,
they passed through a cloud 5000 feet
in thickness and so dense that the bal
loon was invisible from the car; and,
second, they dropped 5000 feet-from
16, 300 to u, 400 feet in one minute. But
the great historic ascent, made from
Wolverhampton, took place on Septem-
Der 5, 1852. when the highest point ever
attained by men who survived to tell
the tale was reached. Mr.. Glaisher re-
lates:
'At Isl the barometer read 1OS
inches. About 1852 or later I read the
dry bulb thermometer as minus five
degrees; after this I could not see the
column of mercury nor the hands OF
the watch nor the fine divisions on any
instrument. 1 asked Mr.. CoXwell to
help me read the instruments. In con-
sequence, however, of the rotary mo-
tion of the balloon, which had contin-
ued without ceasing since we left the
earth, the valve line had become en-
tangled and he had to leave the car
and mount into the ring to readjust
it. 1 then looked at the barometer and
found it's reading to be 9A inches, still
decreasing fast. implying height ex-
ceeding % 600 feet

note that these two brave men lived so
many years after their Earrlw escape.
At the meeting of the British AssOcia-
ton at Newcastle in 1868 Sir Richard
Owen observed that psychologists were
all agreed that one condition OF longe-
vity was the capacity Of the chest.
He hoped the increased breathing ca
pacity acquired by Messrs. Glaisher
and CoxweIl would tend to the pro-
longatiOn of their lives. That hope
was prophetic. COxwell survived un-
til January 5. 1900, having nearly COM
pleted his eightieth year. and Glaisher
was almost ninety-four.

Not often. have only been through
one embarrassing situation of the kind.
A gentleman discovered after having
his book balanced that he was short in
some way 20 the amount of $500. He
declared to the cashier that his clerk
had deposited a New York draft for
the sum of $500. He insisted that the
boy brought back a duplicate ticket for
that amount, but he had since lost that
ticket. We consulted the original tick
ct, which called for only $500. We
wrote to the New York bank requesting
that they send on the paid ticket under
registered mail. When the draft was
examined it was found that it had been
cleared on some other bank, and the
customers name was indorsed on the
back When his memory was re-
freshed in this unpleasant manner he
apologized. 1t was very unpleasant
for while. The bank had me watched
