From present indications It looks as II
the balloon experiments at Fort Omaha will
not be undertaken before late in the fall
or early next spring. The big balloon
house is not yet finished and there yet re-
main some additional Installations of ma
chinery for the hydrogen gas plant. The
work is being pGshed forward as rapidly
as possible, but there is much that cannot
be done hurriedly.
Captain c. f. Chandler will nave charge
OF the work of the installation OF the
plant and will also superintend the prac-
teal baIlooning experiments. It is ex-
pected that Lieutenant f. c, Lahm, the
winner of the balloon race in England. in
1906, win participate in the Omaha expert
ments. The technical instruction in bal
looming will be given at the Fort Leaven-
worth training school and war college.
The balloon practice work at Fort Myer,
Va, has been discontinued owing to the
difficulty in procuring gas for initiation,
and, for this reason. the work OF finishing
the balloon plants at Fort Omaha will be
hurried as much as possible. The Omaha
plant will be the most perfect in the world
