The speaker traced the history Of
Chinese art from the fourth century to

sible for the decline IN art in China

FLOATING IN THE AIR.
The Impression on Ascending In q
Free Balloon

The Impression on Ascending In q
Free Balloon.
One of the first questions which am
formation about balloons is, what Is
the sensation of going up in balloonf"
writes Captain G. Def. Chandler T..
s. A. ! will anticipate this same in
quiry of the readers of this article and
state for their information that In IL
free balloon | have not noticed any pc
culiar physical sensation which can be
described. 1t would be like trying to
describe standing still as Il sensation.
The impression ON ascending In free
balloon Is more an optical Illusion. The
ascent Is so slow and gentle that 1t
cannot be felt, and one has the impress
sion that the balloon is motionless and
the earth gradually dropping away. All
the noises aud shouts of the people be-
come fainter and die out. As the alti-
tude increases hills and valleys are not
apparent, and the earth seems fiat, like
beautiful eolored map. showing cul-
