place in 1885 when the worlds
largest balloon, the Eplorer II. set
the unbroken altitude record of
1885 feet carrying apparatus for
counting the rays at various alti-
tudes. 1t was found then that the
radiation becomes more and more
intense up to $1,000 feet. Then it
starts to decline with altitude but
calculations indicate that this is
