from the earth. Part of this sensation, no doubt,
was due to body sensations. I was finding that
the least movement. of my hand was a matter OF
insuperable difficulty.
Such flight as we were making, in an open
basket, could not in any way be compared to the
flights made by Picard, who had used closed
basket artficially filled with air in order to COM
pensate for the outward blood-pressure of the
human body Within ourselves, there was the
pressure of about Is pounds to the square inch,'
normal for sea-level. Outside, the atmosphere
now gave us a supporting pressure of only two or
three pounds per square inch.
Bags of ballast weighing about SO pounds,
which normally could be handled without the
slightest difficulty, were now impossible to move
We could not lift them over the edge Of the
basket. Foreseeing this, number Of the bags
had been arranged around hole in the bottom
through which they could be emptied with
minimum of exertion.
THE sensation was as though ones veins might
burst open at any moment. There was an
increasing and very painful pressure inside my
head The sense of hearing had diminished, and
while we continued to converse, we did so IN
tones that would hardly be reckoned as polite.

CAMERA SECRETS

ElectricaIly.heated cameras we're used by
German altitude-flyers as long ago as the World
War, TO cOunteract the cold of extreme heights.
Infra-red photography is an old subject of
experiment, developed recently as Photographic
latest conquest.
II is valuable at long distance, especially when
visibility is poor.
Infra.red rays are shorter than any visible
lightrays. Hence they can pierce mists that are
impenetrable to the human eye. But the thicker
fogs and clouds still halt them.
The infra.red process requires an ordinary
distance camera equipped with (a) plate sensi.
filter placed between the lenses, TO xclude all
but the invisible rays.

our heads as If we were caught in an African
sandstorm.
We were still at great elevation and could
not orient ourselves. Directly below US was a
lake, evidently q flooded soft-coal excavation.
Since we had no inclination to end our voyage
in bath, more ballast was emptied and we
drifted toward an attractive village surrounded
by open fields. With wonderful skill our pilot
settled us to earth, 50 gently that we had no need
hand-ropes to deaden the shock. We touched
ground.

disappointment and dismay when ! had looked

of oxygen could dispel the lassitude of space.
But Herr Victor Masuch, the assistant of the
Potsdam Scientific Institute, continued to manip-

the light-rays. Now, by signs, he called our at
tention to one Of the Paragraphs, which had risen
to its extreme top limit.
WE STILL had 40 bags of ballast left and could
" have gone yet higher. But our breathing was
shorter and shorter and our pilot, well knowing
the dangers, decided to descend. Anxious for
record, I accepted his decision with heavy
heart, but knowing it was best. He opened the
valve.
How swiftly we fell! The ropes dangling
outside the basket streamed straight upward.
The cloudbank> rose toward US with frightening
speed; we pierced them at a terrific rate. The
relief to our senses was, however, immediate.
Now the landscape was visible below us and
it became urgently necessary to stop our descent.

This Wanamaker classic, feature
of the Millrose games, will be the
first of series of four big indoor
races in which Cunningham, Kan
sas flyer, and Venzke, tall. stean-
lined Pennsylvania sophomore, are
to match strides.
Secretary Dan Ferris of the A.
A. U. believes that Venzke's world
mark of 4:10 for the indoor mile
will be lowered before the season
is over. He figures this mark, PEE
culiarly American, will be shaved
down somewhat in proportion to
the universal outdoor standard
which foreign runners trimmed to
4:07.6 in the last couple OF years.
Set for Season
Venzke and Cunningham will
compete in the Wanamaker mile;
the Hunter mile of the Boston A.
A. meet: the Baxter mile of the
New York A. c. games, and in the
So called Olympic mile" of the
national A. A. U. championship
which actually is 1900 meters.
If they fail to make an impress
sion on the record in the first two
events, they may be forced to do
80 III LilclE LllIu llCCLAllt5s ShO ASeS@>-
ter mile, when they are certain
to be pressed, if not beaten, by
Bill Bonthron of Princeton. He is
the chap who forced Jack Lovelock
of New Zealand to his sensational
4:07.6 outdoor mark last summer.
Bonthron also will compete in
the national 1500-meter champions
ship. Venzks holds the world in
door record of 1884 for this, and
the chances are excellent that this
mark will be improved.
Venzke established the mile and
1500-meter figures in 1882. Neither
| he nor Cunningham were able to
better them last season in their
brilliant track duels. Bonthron was
| not competing in the mile then.
Both Venzke and Cunningham are
believed running better this year
than ever before.
Glenn Is Great
The Kansas runner is favored
to beat Venzke Saturday night,
largely on the basis of his splendid
outdoor performances last year. He
toured seven foreign countries
without a defeat, and won the
James e. Sullivan award as The
outstanding amateur athlete of
1898.
Venzke's victory last Saturday
night in the mile Of the miscounted
laps'' at the Boston knights of CO.
lumbus meet indicated that he
might turn in .4:10 or All on the
Garden track. He was c1ocked in
4:2O after jogging the final lap.
Through an official error the finish
bell was rung before the 18th In
stead of the 18th lap, causing
Gene and his competitors to put
on the stretch sprint ahead OF
time. He appeared to be running
in the same peak form as in 1888.
He easily. outdistanced Joe Man
gan of Cornell and Glen Dawson
of Oklahoma.
