NARROWED BALLO0NIST :
 RESCUED FROM LAKE
Lighter. Than Air Craft in Idfe- Saving Work.

Scott Field, H.. Oct. 3l.-tP-The first successful demonstration of lighter -than-air craft rescuing stranded balloonists clinging to wreckage, was made on Horseshoe lake, near East St. Louis yesterday, by the TC-52. U. s. Army non-rigid dirigible. Another purpose of the demonstration was to show land- ing could be made without ground crew.
 The demonstration was carried out with an ordinary type of free balloon, which was taken to the lake shore on a truck and inflated. It was then taken to the center of the lake with Lieut.. Ralph E. Holmes clinging to it. The TC-52, under command of Lieut.. Edward H. White, flew over the lake, trailing . weighted rope, which was caught by the marooned balloonist. An in- Hated rubber boat. attached to the rope. was dropped, and Lieut.. Holmes pulled it to him. and then padded free of the bag.
 The dirigible circled before alight- ing on its pontoons, 150 feet away from the "wreckage." The pontoons, only three by four feet in size, are rubber and inflated to absorb shock when landing. They supported the dirigible while Lieut.. Holmes was pulled aboard. Two anchors were used to hold the TC-52 while Lieut. Holmes changed clothing. The dirigible regained the air without trouble and returned here.
 l '"The demonstration was carried out as planned" Lieut.. White said and shows the availability of light er-than-air craft for rescue work.

EXPLORATIONS ARE
 MUCH MORE COSTLY
Scientific Groups Find Activities
 More Expensive .l

Washington. Oct. s1 R - A. though the Byrd Antarctic expedition is not the first million dollar explora- ton undertaken in the history of American scientific effort, it has em- phasized the mounting cost of this branch of endeavor for the advance ment of mans knowledge.
 In cost, the naval expedition led by Charles Wilkes which visited Antarctic regions and various is- lands in the Pacific and eventually worked it's way around the world in 1S3S-42 probably comes as close as any to the Byrd expedition for purposes of comparison. A squadron of naval vessels was used. and. while no figures are available because the expense was met largely out of regu- lar naval appropriations. the total must have amounted to $1,000,00O or more.
 It is among the less extraordinary undertakings, however. that the rapid increase in the cost of explora- ton in recent years becomes most apparent George K, Cherrie. former curator of the Field museum of natural history at Chicago, who has made 39 scientific expeditions to Central and South America. is quoted by Mrs. Mary l.. lobe Akeley. widow of the African explorer, Carl Akeley. as having observed that exploring | has become a rich mans pastlme.' His last expedition to Central Brazil. he said, cost three times as much al it would have 30 years ago.
 1 Similar experiences have been recorded by other museums and scientific organizations The Car negie Institution of Washington which has been conducting ocean. oeraphic explorations for number of years with the magnetic shil Carnegie, finds that the cost of oper- ating the vessel now amounts tc about $7o,o0o a year as compared with $30,0oo before the world war not including the salaries of the scientific staff.
 The National Geographic society has expended s4oo,o0o on explora tions and field surveys in the las' few years, including s50,000 in thu summer of 1925 to finance thu North Greenland expedition of Capt Donald MacMillan on which Com mander Richard E. Byrd obtained his first Arctic flying experience. Tht four years of work in exploring Mount Katmai, resulting in the dis covery of the Valley of Ten Thou sand Smokes on the Alaskan benin sula, cost more than 5000, and { three-year expedition to uncover ancient Inca ruins in the mountain of Peru required s50.00o.
 The figures do not cover the com piling and publishing of the masse of data obtained by the expeditions Much of the increased cost is fount by various explorers to be the re suit of advances in the prices 10 equipment, food and incidentals. al though salaries have gone up t some extent and labor and othe help has advanced considerably
