WARM INSTEAD OF COLD

Major Samuel Reber and Cap
Charles =. Chandler, the two Unit d
States signal corps officers, who mac,
the balloon trip from Pittsdeld 10 Ben

the side OF the mountain shortly ail,r
8 O'Clock. Pilot Charles +. Walsh
who had charge OF the balloon came
down about hall an hour earlier 10 one
OF the Pltts6eld automobiles that fol-
lowed the balloons, bringing with him
the observation instruments used by
the signal corps men and also the
American flag which the Ceniaur car
ried 10 distinguish IL from the other
balloon, L'orient.
Walsh is q nervous little Euglish-
man, who speaks French like Paris.
ian. lie was anxious 10 get back 10
New York where he is 10 the employ OF
q gas company.
After some consultation II was ar
ranged that Captain Chandler should
take the 10 p. m. train south 10 be
followed later by Reber and Walsh.
Chandler at once telegraphed his
father In Cincinnati that the Centaur
had made the trip in safety and caught
his train.
10 speaking OF their experiences the
signal corps men said that they had an
unusually pleasant and comfortable
trip. At no period from the time the
Centaur left Plttsheld at 1923 TO Ill
when the anchor caught in the trees on
the side OF Harmon mountain was there
wind enough to cause any anxiety.
Much OF the time the balloon was above
the clouds and the occupants had no
knowledge OF their exact location.
The highest altitude attained was 600
feet and much OF the time the balloon
was 5000 feet above the earth. AL.
though beyond the clouds and entirely
out OF sight OF the earth much that was
going on down below could be dis
tinctly heard. The reports OF the rifles
OF the deer hunters, the whistles OF the
locomotives and the noise OF falling
water in the streams was plainly aud
ible.
In one respect the balloouists we're
disappointed and that was the temper.

with the expectation OF encountering
cold waves of air but uncomfortable
warmth was with them all the while.
Major Reber had provided himself with
a papier mache vest but had no use
for il and when In Lyons barber shop
gave the garment to j. L. McGurk.
He was so badly snnburned that he
could with difficulty submit his face to
d.razor.
The balloon which is the largest one
in this country, with capacity for 54,-
600 cubic feet Of gas, was brought down
shortly before 6 o'clock for shipment
to Pittsfield. Although much larger
than the companion balloon, L'Orient
the load OF three men was more than it
was designed to carry and it was for
this reason that it was impossible to
continue the journey over bald noun
tain. At the time the balloon descend
