He has appeared before numerous
committees of congress and has in

What I really have tried to do,
he continued, was to dig out facts

titude of $4,000 meters (about So
+ $50 feet or 7i4 miles,.
The previous balloon record of
i0,s00 meters IS, ,424 feeD was set
/ by Professors Berson and Suering
in July. 1901.
A stiff breeze carried the Pic
card balloon westward for a short
distance as it moved into the air.
Higher currents, however. shifted
I its course almost directly south.
Professor Piccaro apparently was
not worried over the fact the ascent
was his 18th effort to reach the
stratosphere. the uneXplored upper
region of the earth's atmospheric
insulation. His balloon has ca
pacity of $4,000 cubic meters.
The bag was rot covered with the
usual network, reducing the weight
to only 800 Kilograms Picard
hoped to reach an altitude of 50,-
900 feet. or nearly 10 miles.
Beneath swung the gondola, an
air-tight aluminium compartment
equipped with maze Of obserya-
ton instruments and connected
with the outer air by small tubes.
Two small observation Sits permit
ted the scientists TO view the world
or air-about him.
The only entrances to the alum
mum compartment were two small
doors. or manholeS. in the smooth
surface Of the shining car.
Professor Picard was enclosed in
the 6-foot aluminium undercarriage.
He waved farewell to assistants who
have aided him IN preparations this
spring, and the great bag rose
quickly.
First Attempt Failed
He arrived at Augsburg on April
4, to prepare for the ascent. An
attempt last September failed and
in the intervening months Picard
and his assistant, Charles Kipfer,
changed the instruments in the
cabinet to get a better balance.
Lack of balance was blamed for the
failure last fall
The balloon was especially con-
structed for the venture. II has
diameter of 80 meters. The spheri-
cal gondola was scientifically
equipped with instruments TO mea-
sure cosmic radiation and ionization
OF air. II also has an electro-meter
and highly sensitive Photographic
apparatus. Oxygen cylinders and
oxygen in liquid form were stored
in the car for the occupant.
The temperature Of the gondola
is regulated by sunrays. 1t is di-
vided externally into two hemis-
pheres, one of which is painted a
dark color and the other left un-
painted. The car can be turned
with a screw, and if the temperature
falls too low the painted side can
be turned toward the suns rays. II
il becomes too hot inside, the un-
painted wall of the carriage Is
turned toward the sun and the heat
diminishes.
The ascent was made purely for
scientific purposes. It is not an al
titude record-breaking attempt,
Picard emphasized. The attempt
is backed by a national fund for
scientific research.
