You have heard such expressions
from many who have had practical
experience with the remarkable eff

covering lost articles.
One great convenience of the
Wants IN returning lost articles Ia
the fact that Ehey work so quickly.

THE WAY THEY
MAKE A BALLOON
Some Interesting Informa-
ton About the Big Air
Cars Now Racing.

It may interest the reader to hear
something about the construction of a
big modern balloon and its equipments.
It is made of what is known as bal
loon cloth, which sometimes is of silk
and is sewed in small sections of about
a yard square, so that if one Of the sec
tons should burst the whole balloon
would not collapse and destroy the
aeronaut.
At the top of the bag is the valve to
let the gas out when one wishes to de
scend. A rope for opening it runs from
this valve through the center Of the
balloon TO the operator in the basket.
The balloon is filed through the neck,
and sthis is left always open, so that
when the gas expands from the heat OF
the sun or the lesser pressure of high
attitudes the gas may escape and not
burst the envelope.
As soon as the balloon is sewed to-
gether it IS blown full of air and given
three coats of yarnish. Each coat must
be allowed to dry thoroughly before
the next is applied, or else they would
never become perfectly dry, and the
balloon would be likely to be destroyed
at any minute from spontaneous COM
bustion. This spontaneous combustion
is not a bursting into fame, but kind
of exceedingly quick dry rot. I myself
have lost three balloons through it.
Once in my factory we were looking at
a beauty when some one shifted the
air and remarked, Thomas balloon is
gone" And so it proved to be. Five
minutes saw it destroyed-rotten so
that you could poke your finger through
it
Sometimes the balloon is so affected
in only a few sections, and a man may
make an ascension thinking his bal
loon is all right Protected by the fine
netting which envelops the balloon it
self, he may even get up to some height
before discovering his danger. In for
mer times there were many fatal acct
dents from this cause.
When a balloon is packed, taIcum or
some other powder is sprinkled over
the folds to keep them from adhering
balloon will be ruined, especially in hot
weather.
As 1 said. a fine netting covers the !
balloon proper both to strengthen it
and to carry the weight of the basket
and its contents. All the strands OF
the netting come together in the con
centrating ring" just above the basket,
in which the aeronaut stands. The an.
Choir and guide ropes as we'll as the
basket are fastened to this concentrate
ing ring.
All modern balloons, besides the
valve, have a rip cord fastened to a
long patch sewed in the envelope. by
means Of which the balloon can be cut
N two and brought to earth instantly
This is never used except in case Of eI
IRENE emergency and where the basket
