Rapid Growth at K. u.

Figures compiled by the registrar
Of the University of Kansas show
that the institution is adding one
fourth to it's total enrolment every
two years. This year the enrolment
is 1920, against 1,7S6 two years ago,
a net gain of little more than "a per
cent. Nearly two-thirds of the in
crease for the two years was accom-
plished last year, amounting to more
than Is per cent. The panic cut the
enrolment down considerably under
what it would have been, especially in
the engineering school, which shows
an actual decrease in number since
last year. The college, on the ohter
hand, increased about one-eighth.

OCEAN BALLOON TRIP
Boston Scientist Plans to Cross
to Europe In Few Days.
MUST SAIL AT GREAT HEIGHT.

Professor Henry II. Clayton In Ex-
planning His Project Says Atlantic
Flight Can Be Made In Three OF
Four Days-ReIies on Upper All
Currents.
A balloon trip across the Atlantic
and possibly around the world is the
object that Professor Henry H. Clay
ton, scientist and aeronaut, had in view
when he left his work as meteorologist
at Blue Hill observatory short time
ago, says Boston dispatch. Through
his knowledge Of the air currents o.
car Erbsloh was able to win the inter
national balloon cup in the fight from
st. Louis in 1906, when the balloon
Pommern travelled halfway across the
continent.
Before he makes the aerial voyage
across the Atlantic Professor Clayton
plans a test flight from San Francisco
to the Atlantic coast.
BY taking advantage Of the known
upper currents of air which he has
discovered during his long years Of
study Professor Clayton declares he
can easily make the voyage from con-
tinent to continent in three or four
days. These air currents, he says, are
reached at height of two miles above
the earth.
"Air travel is practical and is bound
to supersede railroad trains and steam
ships" said he.
1.-The equipment Of such balloon a.
I would need for the intercontinent
voyage would amount to about $4,000.
Already tentative offers have been
made me toward the proper equipment
Of the balloon.
'''My idea Is a balloon twice the size
Of the greatest now in use, say Of the
capacity OF 100000 cubic feet Of gas
The necessary scientific instruments,
ballast and two men would still leave
a margin of sufficient lifting power:
s,,F II would have the gas bag little
more than half filed with hydrogen
gas, 50 that as the balloon rose high
IN the air the gas might expand until
It filed the envelope entirely. At
night. the balloon would shrink as the
temperature fell, and at the same time
the balloon would descend gradually.
IN the daytime; in the full glare Of
the suns rays, the gas would expand
and the craft rise. .~,...... -;
"A gradual outlet Of sand ballast
would overcome the Inevitable leakage
Of the gas which TO- hound to occur
no matter how tight the envelope =
made. With such q balloon as have
planned the trip to Europe could be
made with considerable lifting force to
spare. ,s2.sy +%E.e.$ ~ ;s33ss.ps ss,.. ii
% TT would take three ar four days to
cross the Atlantic With the present
knowledge we have Of the air currents
It would not be impossible to desig-
nate beforehand approximately where
the balloon would touch in Europe
and the number of hours required 70
make the voyage.
