he will make his meals, thus conserving
weight and saving valuable time.
Alan r. Hawley, pilot of the balloon
st. Louis, took a supply of condensed
soups and other concentrated foods,
cold chicken, thermo bottles with a SUD-
| ply of hot coffee, some sandwiches and
a couple of bottles of light wine and
small supply of brandy. The soups will
be heated in a double kettle, the lower
one filled with lime Stacked by the add
ton of water. Major Jersey, pilot of
the third American balloon, carried a
small supply of condensed army ra-
tions.
The E~nglishmen in Lotus II have not
had so much experience in long dis
lance ballooning as some of the others
and that their provision sup
ply would be a matter of careful con-
sideration with them, but tha they
probably would go in for cold chicken
tongue sandwiches, bottled beer and
that sort of thing.
When the great globes were released
and sailed into space the pilot in charge
of each stood by his care
fully watching the speed of his ascent
and the atmospheric conditions, while
his aide, with compass and watch, noted
on the map the direction in which they
are travelling. When the statoscope in
dicates the balloon is sinking, the pilot,
with a big tin scoop such as grocerS
use in labelling out sugar, Will pour over

it out as carefully as if it was so much
gold dust. When the strumen indi-
Gates that the balloon is rising or is at
an equilibrium, he ceases to waste
sand.
AS the balloon ascends into the clouds
and the hygrometer indicates an in
crease in humidity, the balloon sinks
and again the sane is sparingly wasted
and the balloon rises once more. Thus
a diagram of the course of a balloon,
if it is carefully piloted, shows a long
waving line of ups and downs, but if
the meteorological conditions are violent
the diagram will look like a serrated
range, and this is bad bal
looming, because it wastes energy and
distance.
Sunshine expands the gas in the bag
and makes h balloon more buoyant
while the humidity and the cold of the
upper atmosphere chills the gas and
c~ondenses it, causing the balloon to
drop. This can only be remedied by
throwing out sand, and thus it may be
seen that the life of a balloon race lies
in the sandbags. An inexperienced or
careless pilot will neglect his instru-
ments and be compelled to waste his
sand and so bring himself to earth be-
fore his time.
