BALLOONISTS TO
TRY FOR RECORD
HARRISON WILL AID HARMON
ON FLIGHT
EXPECT TO TRAVEL FROM GULF
TO CANADA
Aaeronaut Recognized by Local Aero
Club and License Will Be Is-
sued by New York
Organization

George B. Harrison. the Los Angeles
balloonist, left yesterday afternoon for
San Antonio, Tex, where he is to act
as aid to Clifford B. Harmon, who is
to start his balloon New York in an
effort to break the worlds record for
distance and time in the air in a bal
loon.
A special quality of gas is being pre-
pared for the balloon in San Antonio,
and it is expected that no balloonists
will ever have attempted journey SO
completely equipped as Harmon and
Harrison. The gas is to be nearly pure
hydrogen and should have a lifting
capacity of about sixty pounds to
the thousand cubic feet.
1t is expected to begin the trip about
Friday, when weather conditions point
to a southwest gale, which is expected
to carry them to the Great Lakes or
into Canada. Harrison figured the
gale would cary them forty to fifty
miles an hour for a day or two.
The moon will be full at the end of
this week, so that night travelling
should be excellent. If the weather is
cloudy the balloon is to be lightened
so that it will ride just above the cloud
bank at night, where it is expected to
keep it's general trend northeastward
Harrison goes as a representative of
the Aero Club of California, but in his
official capacity of aid to Harmon he
acts only under Harmon.
Harrison has qualified for a pilots
license and his credentials have been
forwarded by the Aero Club of Cali
fornia to the Aero Club of America
for issuing of the official document
His trip with Harmon should make
him famous. He is making an ex-
haustive study of air currents for data
to be used in future balloon trips.

Birds That Use Inoubators.

The stormy petrol builds her nest
just above the Atlantic pillows, on
the islets near Iona and the Hebrides.
There, beyond the rocks, is a black,
buttery soil in which the birds bur-
row like little winged mice and on
nests of sea-pink lay one egg.
There is, in the Outer Hebrides, a
very pretty popular belief as to the
way In which the eggs are Matched.
The birds, say the people; hatch their
eggs by sitting, not on them, but near
them, at a distance of six inches.
There the petrels turn their heads to-
ward the opening Of the burrow and
coo at the eggs day and night, and
so hatch them with song.
This sounds like a fable made out
Of folklore, but 1t really has a basis
in fact, according to one authority.
Although he never heard the cooling
noise by day, he often did in the eve.
ming. 1t is rather a purring sound.
When the nest is opened the bird is
usually found covering q few inches
away from It's egg.
Perhaps the truth is that the bur.
rows are so warm that there is no
need of a higher temperature induced
by animal heat, and the parent bird
can afford to sit down and sing over
the excellence of the arrangement
