A report bos just been mode of the moat
extraordinary balloon voyage on record. It
Is of the most Intctino Interest to scientists
and everyone studying the problem of aerial
navigation. It sets nsldo ono of the objec
tions which have been offered to the flying
machine as a mode of traveling , by proving
that man feels no serious discomfort cither
from cold or from Immense speed when At
ft great height. And there were other eclcn-
tlflo results of considerable Importance
which will bo told of farther on In this
nrtlclc. The story of the trip Itself as an
other triumph of man over nature la of
thrilling Interest to everyone.
Pour men In the balloon Wcga crossed the
Alps from Stilton , In Switzerland , to Sit.
Soulc , In Franco , some distance north of
Uljon. The speed wns equal to that of the
fastest European railway train , and at times
exceeded Uiat of the most rapid American
express. A distance of 142 mlloa was cov
ered In 344 minutes.
The expedition was undertaken for purely
DcktHlflc purposes. The captain of the bal
loon was Prof. Ed Spelterlnl , who has raado
more than flvo hundred successful balloon
nscenslona. Ho was accompanied by the
eminent geologist , I'rof. Albert Helm , and
Prof. Julius Mnurer , the great meteorologist.
One passenger was taken along , a student
of Prof. Helm. The project of ascending the
Alps In a balloon was broached as long ago
as 1801 , but It was alow of realization.
Honey had to bo collected for the construc
tion of the special balloon required and
many other preparations were necessary.
The balloon was built for the purely scien
tific purpose of the trip. The diameter of
* ho balloon vhcn filled was about sixty feet ,
Its circumference wns 100 feet , capacity 9,000
cubic feet. It woo made of Japanese pongee
Bilk , of great strength , and was built In
forty-eight meridional chambers , consisting
of no less than 3,108 pieces of silk. The In
terior received six coats of varnish and the
exterior four coats. The covering net was
jndao of Anjou hemp , treated with rubber ,
with 21,501 mcehes. The weight of the
balloon , with anchor , ropes and all , was 994
kilograms. The ballast , scientific Instru
ments and passengers added 2,000 kilograms ,
no that the balloon had to lift 3,000 kllo-
Krams as It ascended In air. It required five
days to fill the 'balloon ' with gas , and then
there was a delay of three days before the
weather appeared favorable. The wind must
Io In the proper direction and the air not
too cloudy to prevent exact observations.
( Pilot balloons were sent up finally and
ehowcd that the wind set In the proper di
rection to carry the balloon directly over
the Alps and the Jura , I. c. , southwest.

Four men held the ropee of the captive
balloon , ready to loose them at the signal.
The passengers climbed into the par that
Bwung beneath it and threw out sacks of
ballast equal to their weight. Captain Spel-
tcrlnl cried "Lachcz tout" ( let go all ) and

nhouts of thousands of npcctators , for scien
tists had come from nil over Europe to Bee
this experiment. But let Prof. Helm tell of
it In his own words :
"It waa 10:53 : a , m. as the Wega rose Into
the nlr. At first wo ascended at the rate
of over n , yard a second , but soon commenced
to go faster. Wo felt the wind of the vol
ley no longer at 7,200 feet , but stood still
for a moment poised In air , but the next
tmlnuto , 11:00 : , tvo felt the southeast wind of
the upper nlr , and the balloon darted to
northwest at lightning speed , in a straight
lino. The shadow of the balloon fell on. the
clouds with startling distinctness.
"And now \\o 'waited with balcSd breath
to learn our fate. Would wo bo dashed
against the mountain by a powerful wind
current or eind at 11:41 : our doubts iwore
Bottled aswo ooarod nbovo the highest peak
of the mountain (10,610 ( ifeot ) reaching a
( height of 13,902 feet above eca level. Our
ooursu did not diverge a. moment from a
straight line. When wo wore 0,900 feet
over the valley -we traveled horizontally ten
foot afiocoudj when wo wore 14,000 feet high
two moved horizontally thirty-three feet a
cocond , "but " now "wo wont first at. eighty-
two feet , then at eighty-eight feet a second ,
ever a mlle a minute ,
"Tho currents of air In the valley glvo
not the least Intimation of Uio direction or
force of the upper currents. Our course , so
Jong aa wo wcro In the upper current of
olr , waa Astonishingly straight , tor wo di
verged from the direct route In our course
hardly half a , mlle to right or left. We were
borne 1iy a mighty current of the air-sea.
"At 12:55 : wo Vi'oro 18,383 feet nbovo sea
level , and then wo descended slightly. At
3:43 : wo reached the highest point attained
during our voyage , 22,440 f et.

"Tho balloon wna In such good condition
that wo could Iravo stayed up In It all night ,
and Tve had plenty of ballast , so the captain
naked us ;
"Do you -want to travel all night ? "
"A'Blanco at my map showed me that wo

we ihould be In F&rlt before midnight , and
on the ocean before daybreak.
"This would noter do , nnd ns descent
by night Is accompanied by many dangers
we decided that wo must land now If at all.
From 3:43 : to 4:23 : we descended from 22,400
feet to 7,920 feet , at a rate of 303 feet a
minute. Almost seven feet a second.
"Beneath us wan a sen of mist.
" 'It's going too fast , drop a sack of sand
overboard now another sackl" the captain
shouted.
"The sun was hidden behind clouds. Wo
were passing through A shower of sand , for
the balloon wns actually falling faster than
the sand wo had thrown out. It was the
most Intensely thrilling and dangerous mo |
ment of the voyngo. Could we stop her
tremendous descent ? If not our contact
with the earth would well nigh annihilate
usi Imagine falling a mlle nnd a half 1
"But over went more ballast , and more-
end yet more. Wo had dropped almost a
mlle when wo slackened as wo passed Into
the clouds of mist It was depresslngly
gloomy nnd gray about us. Wo looked down.
Spelterlnl was the first to sec the .straight
whlto lines of streets shining In a village.
All waa at last well. The mist did not
reach so far na the earth. Wo could now
see how to land , but there waa a strong cast
wind. Wo eallcd over the red roofa of a
village , It was Riviere.
" 'Half a sack of nand overboard or wo
shall land among the hop-poles qulckl *
"And aa wo floated to the east wo reached
an open , treeless plateau , with woods behind.
"Here It was or nowhora !
" 'Lot go the anchor ! '
"Tho anchor caught , the ronta were opened
and hardly twenty seconds later the bal
loon lay bait empty on the ground. It was
4:37 : p. m.
142 Miles In 44 Mlnnto.
"Tho balloon had passed over 142 miles In
344 minutes , or flvo hours and forty-four
minute ? . In the upper current It had traveled
118 miles In 2S5 minutes. This Is 40 % foot
a second. We had toesn traveling at rail
way speed )
"But you do next fed the ep d In the bal
loon. You seem to hover stationary In that
wondrous silence. There waa not the loaot
jolting , wo did not know that wo were mov
ing unless "wo looked intently at the earth {
beneath and saw It slipping by. Wo felt
the motion as little as wo fool the motion
of the earth around the sun.
"Our balloon Journey had been neither the
highest nor the furtherest ever taken , but it
was the flrst that had over been taken over
a specified mountain , and the first In which
a balloon had remained above 19,000 feet for
hours at a time.
"The trip of the Wega over the Alps was
the 503rd successful ascension conducted by
Captain Spelterinlwithout accident.
"Wo did not even feel dizzy , " says Prof.
Helm , "and our trip proved that dizziness
is not ono of the accompaniments of travelIng -
Ing by 'balloon , a long mooted question.
The moat wonderful thing of all to us was
the perfect quiet and sacred silence of the
heights. Whether the 'balloonwent ' up or
down , or rushed through the air with rail
way speed , wo felt none of It. We wore in
absolute quiet. About 15,000 feet you hear
the blood rushing through your cars ; nt 18-
000 feet the noise of the circulation of your
'blood is unbearable. It Is altogether differ
ent from the stillness on a mountain top.
There is still the noise coming from below ,
oven though brokenly. But -with us the >
silence was absolute1 oppressive.

"Until wo hod ascended to 12,000 feet all
felt -well. At-14,000 feet Dr. Blcdermann
complained of palpitation of the heart. At
19,000 feet Dr. Maurcr complained of severe
sticking pains in the tack of his bead and
of nausea.
"At 18,000 feet nnd 20,000 feet I felt - wonderfully
derfully well , sitting in ono comer of the
car on a sack of ballast. Half dreaming I
looked out over the shining clouds , or at the
yellowish horizon , or upward at the black
aky. I did not want any oxygen , I felt no
difficulty In breathing , no uneasiness what
ever , no 'air-hunger. ' But the ability to
work was gone , my energy lost. It required
a great effort for me to take my note book
up and write in It. My pulse was very
weak ; I could hardly Dnd It , but It was
quietly beating sixty to sixty-three times a
second. All at once I felt freezing cold.
But Itwas so delightful to sit there quietly.
Better to freeze than take the trouble to put
on the cloak that lay at iny side. But ray
conscience spoke , saying : 'You ought to ob
serve , look around , note what you see ! ' and
I looked out , but I noticed nothing nnd
wrote not a word. Only to sit quiet ana

The rrnulta of this unparalleled flight over
the Alpa and Jura are of more than passing
Intercut. It has shown that healthy men
may ascend to about four miles above1 sea
level nnd remain at this tremendous height
without any serious Inconvenience. It lias

. portant point -for future aerial navigation.
The phenomena observed wcro now and
'
Interesting. The fact that the earth ap
pears to bo bathed In an atmosphere of vlo-
' lot color when seen from the balloon la
accounted for by Prof. Helm In this way.
"Whenwo mountain stand
-wo look at a as wo
on the earth 11 appears to too blue , on ac
count of the thick atmosphere at the earth's
surface. Hut when seen from n balloon
the blue atmosphere the spectacles through

"It Bcoms to me that we nro forced to
believe that there Is a direct reflection of
the heavenly blue rays through the mole-
cults of the sir. These appearances are well
known In florescence ? It Is not true then
that the heavenly folue Is a phenomenon
of florescence. Thle Idea does not
seem to ino to be In contradiction with any
of the color phenomena of the atmosphere.
In fluids , such as petroleum , for example ,
we ore familiar with this phenomenon. If.
we could have other gases In such thick
layers as the nlr wo might observe similar
florescence.
"The meteorological observations wcro In
the hands of Dr. Julius -Maurer , who was
provided with all the latest and 'best ' de
vices for registering the results of this ex
periment. To observe the atmospheric
pressure ho had two registering aneroid
barometers nnd ono quick silver barometer
for corrective purposes. The temperature
was taken by an Awmann thermometer flxcd
to the balloon nnd read by a spyglass. A
thermograph nnd hygrograpu were fixed lu
position by sticks in a willow basket cov
ered by -whlto cloth , but open at the top ,
the banket 'being ' tied to the outside of the
car. Ho also had a late model balloon-

tatn. There was not a bird to bo saen whan
we rose to 19,000 feet , although wo were over
the valloya in which the ravens are most
common , and I watched Intently for a
glimpse of one.
"Above 16,000 feet the coloring of the baleen -
eon and ourselves appeared to change. The
sun cast no warm yellow light on us , but a
pure whlto light , whlto to ghastllness. All
of the shadows were a deep black. I noted

"If wo looked flrst at the horizon and then
at earth the former seemed to 'bo ' blue-violet
nnd the latter a bright yellow. The blue-
violet coloring of the earth appeared at
16,000 feet and over. This was explicable
by the fact that the yellow rays of the sun
light were absorbed In the atmospheric cov
ering of the earth as we looked towards It ,
leaving the violet rays in the ascendant.
Seen from the moon , the earth must look
violet. Looking at mountains , distant not
less than fifty miles , they appeared a bright
yellow. In this case the white surfaces act
as sources of light behind the thick layers
of atmosphere , and the penetrating yellow-
rod light ( reflected aa blue ) made the dis
tant mountains appear yellow to our eyoa.

ascended through 19,000 foot of It this blue
veil was for the most part beneath us and
wa saw the sky In all its forbidding dark

case It could never bo GO constant In Its

matlcally.
"It is most remarkable , as shown in the
tables nnd selfregisteringdiagram , of the
hygrograph , to note the extreme dryness of
the upper layers of the atmosphere between
16,000 and 19,000 feet. According to the
hygrograph the relative humidity Is only 20
or 30 degrees.
"As a pioneer scientific expedition this Is
considered most successful , pointing to a
great future for the use of the balloon for
meteorological and physical observations. "
