New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-07-17
AT 10000 FEET ALTITUDE

Very high altitude is of course noticeable
on account of the lack of oxygen and the
decreased pressure. Up to 10000 feet there
is no Inconvenience except sometimes a
rather intense sun in the daytime and diff
flculty of sleeping soundly at night, until &C
customed to it. / remember trying to get a
little sleep at 5000 feet altitude over the
English Channel AS long as I was awake l
made up for the decreased oxygen by breath
ing faster and deeper. But as soon as I
dropped off to sleep my normal habits of
breathing returned and | started to accumu-
late deficit of oxygen. The result was I
found myself waking up about every five
minutes, as much out of breath as if I had
been running race, and shivering all over,
yet perfectly warm. AS soon as I caught
up on the air supply I would drop off for an
other five minute sleep.
Now come to the prize question of all which
is more often expressed in the form of a
statement "I don't think aoossld like balloon
ing as aIseays get dizzy when 90 up high"
This seems to be the most difficult thing to
explain satisfactorily, perhaps because it is
an almost universal human failing to feel this

In the camps of both armies there is an
amazing quantity of broken clay pipes.
The site Of one of the most populous of the
American camps in the Hudson Highlands
known as connecticut Village" has only
recently been found. The old records showed
that the regiments of the Connecticut line
were encamped here during the last two years
of the Revolution. A considerable village must
have been built in this time, but after 14O
years no trace of it remained above ground
The credit of this discovery belongs to Dr..
William S. Thomas, of the Field Exploration
Committee of the New York Historical So
clety. From many old records he found half
a dozen references to the Village and as many
clues to its geogra phical location The refer
ences stated that Connecticut Village was one
and a half miles back from the Hudson, that
it stood on both sides of large brook, that
it lay between the two high hills, and was six
miles below Fishkill and eight miles north of
Continental Village, about half a mile west of
the main road. After several years of pros
pecting, the site of the camp was discovered
on the Mekeel Road, back of Cold Spring, at
point known as Beverly Warrens"
Careful search revealed the dump or refuse
pit Of the old camp, which has yielded so many
relics. Many buttons were found, including
those of the 7th Connecticut, and the 9Th
Massachusetts regiments. The latter are es-
pecally interesting, since they bear the
famous skull and crossbones of the "Bloody
Eight" In addition to many war relics
number of coins were found bearing dates

upon me by the deafening roar of the engine,
the almost paralyzing wind outside, and the
seasick feeling with every bump in the air.
In the latter respect captive balloon is even
worse.
In free balloon there are but few sensa-
tons of a purely physical nature. There is
no perceptible motion to the basket, there is
plenty of room to move about, the basket is
entirely open, yet there is wind to be
felt whatever. The balloon may be travel
ing sixty miles an hour over the ground, but
the air around it is perfectly calm The only
sounds are those which penetrate from the
earth below, and above a few thousand feet
even these are obliterated. There is absolutely
nothing to disturb calm enjoyment of
beautiful view, wonderful cloud formation
or brilliant sunset. There is also nothing
to prevent the most accurate observations Of
altitude, speed, direction and general weather
conditions. It Is not wildly exciting, but
there Is something In it which makes balloon
enthusiast Of practically every one who has
the good fortune to make trip.

punch two holes through the metal disk and
sew it on by passing the thread across its
face. Many of the buttons unearthed are
punched in this way The searchers often
found pennies among the buttons, which
puzzled them at first, or until it was discov-
cred that the thrifty soldiers had covered
them with cloth to make them serve as but
tons for their uniforms The Continental
soldiery made less brilliant appearance on
parade, but the furnished broken buttons tell
story of the patience which won the war.
There are many relics in the camps and
forts to show that the soldiers practiced rigid
economy. Many homemade or rather camp
made, articles found which were used in
the daily life of the camp. Take, for ex-
ample, the wire forks, which were made in
various sizes. They were fashioned by twist
ing pieces of iron wire, and were doubtless
the work of the camp blacksmith. There are
many blades of camp forged knives from
which the wooden handles have of course long
since disappeared The spoons were usually
of pewter, and many are found with letters
scratched on them, evidently the initials of
the user
Among the relics dug up on the sites of
British camps is an astonishing amount of
broken glass; which is conspicuous by it's alb
sence in the Continental composites The
glass is usually black and thick, and once
formed heavy bottles. The bottles contained
the rum which was daily, or at least fire.

Resourceful Snowman Gets Around
500 License Law.

A small Missouri town established a
tax on travelling tent shows of 500 a
night, This, of course, was equivalent
to saying that such shows would not be
allowed in the town.
A few weeks ago a small theatrical
company, showing in tent, arrived in
the town and advertised before they
found out about the high license. The
manager of Che show went to the may
or 90 see what could be done about the
matter The mayor handed him a copy
Of the ordinance, and the Snowman
read it through twice
"Uh-huh," he grunted, and walked
out.
Early that evening the mayor was
attracted by the strains of brass

THEY OUT NUMBER
MEN PRESENT
Great Crowd Gathered
Around Mansion House
In Dublin

Dublin, Aug. 26.-Long before the
hour for to-day's meeting of the Dali
Eireann, the street in front of the
Mansion house was crowded, the ma
jority of the people there being WON
en-. They applauded the leaders of the
Sim Fein movement as they walked
into the Mansion house or drove up in
front of the building. Tickets had
been issued for every seat in the hall
of the Mansion house and there were
many standing around the rotunda IN
hopes of being able TO enter.
A hour before the time set for the
session the floor and the galleries of
the chamber had been filled with an as
semblage that was more representative
of the country districts than the city.
The deputies, each of whom had been
given ten tickets, had distributed them
among their constituents, this bring
ing in spectators in large numbers from
the rural districts. II was noted that
many of those present wore the lit
tie yellow or gold ring in the button
hole denoting that they were speakers
of the Gaelic language.
Representatives of the clergy were
more numerous in the audience than in
previous audiences at sessions of the
Dali, as also were women, but there
were few familiar faces to be seen.
Maud Come Mcbride, whose husband
was executed in 1916, occupied prom.
inent seat. She was accompanied by
Mrs. Charlotte Despard, sister of Lord
French, the former lord lieutenant.
