An Exciting Trip In the AIidnt of n
wild Thunderstorm.

Wild Thunderstorm.
On one occasion, rising suddenly
through stratum of clouds 10000 feet
In the air into brilliant sunshine, the
gas dilated. I let out little. Down
we dropped into cold air current The
immediate condensation OF the gas
dropped Tia back into the cloud layer,
which condensed the gas still more
and accelerated the drop. We came
out directly above a stretch of woods
over which lay another cool belt BY
This time we were falling like rock.
We were going SO fast that the bagfuls
OF sand we threw out went up instead
of down. Hastily we threw out the
drag rope. the anchor, the lunch basket
TO little purpose. We struck the trees
with n terrific crash, but escaped, how
ever, with nothing worse than q shak.
Ing up aud few bruises.
The most exciting trip 7 ever made
was record breaking voyage that be-
gan one Sunday evening. The weather
was not propitious, but we east off.
We sailed across the Hudson river to
New Jersey and plunged into cloud,
After travelling twenty miles descend
ed to drop note to my wife. assuring
her of our safety. Again we shot into
a cloud. Presently we drifted over
village and, with that exaltatlop that
accompanies the sensation Of floating
in.the air, enjoyed to strange degree
the music of church bells drifting up
from below. Before we were aware
We plunged into the midst of n huge
approaching thunder cloud. 1t seemed
TO open and swallow us Into pit Of
gloom and simultaneously into the
heart of the widest thunderstorm
think have ever seen. The clouds
rolled and tossed and twisted. The
balloon would now be forced down,
then tossed up and again spur swiftly
about like top. We lost, all sense of
direction. Thunder was crashing and
rolling and cracking all around US.
Lightning flashed, not In forked zig
zags, but in great flashes OF fire. It
was frightful. We did not want to de-
scend, but presently we heard the I'M
mistakable sound of water not far
away, Letting out little gas, we shot
dhwnward. Faster we dropped and
faster. Land was below US. The prob
lem was to land in the high wind with
out damage. let out more gas. We
landed In a. treetop with jar that fix
ed the basket so firmly in crotch that
1t could Lot be dislodged by the wind.
for now we had dropped below the
storm.-World's Work.
