By GARRETT P. sERVIss.

TINE greatest peril for those who
ascend to great attitudes is not
Il that of falling, but that Of being
suffocated, like fish taken out of water!
It was the climbers of high noun
tains who first discovered the fact that
it is often difficult for men to breathe
at a height Of from two and a half to
three miles above sea level. The late
Edward Whymper, the conquerOr Of
the terrible Matterhorn, made many ex-
periments on this, and he concluded,
after climbing Chimborazo and other
huge peaks in the Andes, that the
cause of mountain sickness" as the
trouble was called, was due both to
the lessened value of air that is in
spired at such attitudes and to the ex-
pansion of the gases contained within
the body, producing a pressure upon
the internal organs.
But more recent study has shown
that the difficulty arises mainly from
the comparative lack of oxygen in the
upper air. and that this may be over
come by means Of apparatus supplying
extra oxygen to the lungs.
The two principal constituents Of the
atmosphere are oxygen and nitrogen.
Nitrogen is an inert gas which STILES

started from Bamotte- Breui in France,
and attained an elevation Of nearly 3d.
900 feet, or six and a quarter miles,
and yet they did not suffer at all, and
came down in perfect condition, and
eXulting in their great feat!
Their success and immunity from
suffocation were due to the fact that
they took with them the apparatus
shown in the accompanying photograph.
A Wonderful Picture.
This consists of an atr-tight vessel
filed with compressed oxygen. A mask
which can be fitted closely over the
nose and mouth is connected by a tube
with the reservoir Of oxygen. There
is a pressure gauge which enables the
aerouaut to measure the quantity Of
oxygen remaining in the reservoir, and
there is also a device by which 10 reg
ulate the amount flowing through the
tubes. Thus they could take just as
much oxygen as they needed and no
more. The rate of supply varied from
two quarts per minute to ten. The res
ervoir contained about 1000 quarts.
They began to breathe the oxygen
when at a height of about II. 900 feet.
The method of using the apparatus is
shown in the photograph, which was
taken by Senouque. showing Bienaime
and Schneider, with their breathing
masks on, at the very time when they
were at the top of their flight, more
than six miles above the earth!
Similar apparatus has recently been
carried by mountain climbers, and by
the pilots of aeroplanes ascending to
great attitudes. With the rapid prog
ress of aerial navigation it will become
Indispensable in the future.
If fish had human brains they might
safely make a voyage Of discovery in
the air!

A Tragedy.

A very tragic instance Of the effect
thus produced is furnished by the
story of the famous balloon ascent
made in April, 1873, by CASTOR Tis-
sander, Croce Spinelli and Signor Sivel
They assembled from La Vnlette in
France, in the balloon Zenith" to a
height of $500 feet. or a little more
than five and one-third miles. The
thinness Of the air, and as we now
know, the relative lack of oxygen,
killed Spinelli and Sivel, and nearly
cost the life of Tissandier.
To show what modern science and
invention have done to avert this peril
of the high atmosphere, let US turn to
the story Of a still higher ascent, made
on May %. 1918, by the balloon 'Tcare,"
carrying Albert Senouque, Jacques
Schneider and NJ. Bienaime They
