Mien-;.-, one of the expert In chaise of
hr. balloon, believes that the baa; and
lnfct ronlalninc the recoiJtuff Instru
iiienta drojipeu aonievlii alxjut twenty
r.iOiK due south of Omaha.
With tiif itenr aimo.-phf of Tuesday
1ne experts ei given opporliiiilty to view
anlrter Intn-eMlns; aaeenlon. This balloon
wn in the air ona fcour and seventeen
mmtitis. and i-fter it eplodt5 it was In
yilt' for forty--sl: minutes. It reached a,
helRht rearl.r as ateat as the baloon re
leased on Washington" birthday.
- Frsv lie That HIkIi.
Mr. Sl.eriy explains that all the balloona
a.ni up tuit In mlrt-air, but that there
are. few that approach a freight of fifteen
miles. The avi?e Is about ten. If they
were not inudu of very fine grade of
fibber, which allows the Ran to expand,
tins Insuring1 ah oven ascensional force, up
(. the point of burning. It would not be
p,..-eible for the .bnllooni to reach audi a
ii:eat height
As ope of th-se. balloons ascends It oes
Into the air that, grows gradually lighter,
offering less resistance and at helsht
of three nnd one-halt , miles tha balloon
has expanded to twice Its original olse.
'ihe ratio expansion is maintained until
ihi bus bursts. Mr. Sherry says that at
a height of fifteen miles It expands to
about twenty' times Ita original size; at
ten miles about eight.
fifteen balloons have been released and
probably about. tn more will be sent up
orfore the scientific work Is completed
here. Five of the balloons and Instruments
have been foiind. Returns from two came
In Thursday morning. One was sent up
February li and .traveled 115 miles.. It was
found four mllca south of Ogden, Boone
toiinty. Iowa, on Prospect farm, by O. K.
Williams, ll'waa picked up on. the fifth
day after Us 'release. The other balloon
heard from was sent up on February 17
and was found four days later two and
one-halt nilles east of Colo, Storey county,
Iowa, after drifting- 146 miles. The Under
was J. F. Ogllvle.
