Prof. Hazen on the Recent Balloon Ex- periments at St. Louis. Some of the Conditions Were Not Fi rable—Great Practical Value of Such Experiments. An item in The Star of the 19th instant regarding a novel and most interesting ex- periment with a balloon at St. Louis on the evening of the 18th instant demands more than a passing notice, as it seems to be the beginning, in this country, of what may prove one of the most important practical investigations ever undertaken here. The experiments of sending up balloons equip- ped with self-registering apparatus to the highest point attainable has been repeated- ly tried in France, but never with the liber- ality displayed at St. Louis. The balloon which was the most successful at Paris was made of gold beaters’ skin and was only about 20 feet in diameter, but through the most extraordinary lightness of the fabric It attained a height of about ten miles. The balloon at St. Louis was 65 feet in diameter. Of course it should be borne in mind that the smaller balloon is vastly easier to handle and the expense is much jess. The larger balloon can be followed better and if properly constructed should give results which cannot be thought of with the other. Some Unfavorable Conditions. The details of the balloon at St. Louis are not mentioned, but it is to be noted that there is an error in the item in stating that the gas used was hydrogen, for it was common illuminating gus. The day chosen for liberating the balloon was unfortunate in that the currents would almost inevita- bly carry it to the lakes and possibly thou- sands of miles beyond. Also the evening seems to be the poorest time of day tor if sent up in the morning, it could proba- bly be foilowed from besinning to ead of its journey, while at nignt it would be lost sight of almost immediately. In France the practice has been to so urrange as to shorten the time above the earth as much as possible and no ballast has been used, white at St. Louis ballast was used and dropped by clock work. This would keep the balioon up severai days and would al- most absolutely insure its total loss. It has been learned from studies at Mt. Wash- ington that during the meteorological con- ditions prevailing above St. Louis Monday evening the upper current has a velocity at 6,000 feet of 60 to 18%) miles per hour, and it is highly probable that still higher up the current has a much greater velocity. What Ought to Be Done. Suppose the velocity was 100 miles per hour and the balloon stayed up sixty hours, the distance to which it would go in a uniform horizontal current would be one-quarter around the earth. Of course, there are no suck uniform long-distance currents in the atmosphere, but they are sufMicieut to carry such a balloon far beyond fie ken of man under any except the most unusual or im- probable conditions. The method adopted in France was to use no ballast and to give the balloon a good impetus by a great buoyancy. The rise was at the rate of 1,500 feet per minute and the descent of 00 feet. In one instance Prof. Wise found himself being rapidly borne out to sea vy his bal- loon, and his vaive line entangled in the ba!- loon far beyond hts reach. As a dernier resort he began throwing off ballast in great quantities and this caused the balloon to rise very rapidly, and uilimately, after a good deal of gas had flowed out at the neck, he was enabled to make a safe land- ing. It is probable-that in such experiments @ good deal of gas may be saved by inflating the balloon. until it can lift 400 or 500 pounds over and above its total load; then, if sud- denly released, it will ascend rapidly to the highest point to which it can possibly go, even as high as a balloon full of gas at starting. The great advantage is that, if there is no ballast, the return trip will be made in an hour or two and the balloon can be easily recovered. As to the Register. In the successful trip at Paris last March the ink of the self-register froze at a very eritical point, and this injured the value of the record. This can be avoided by making the registering sheet of celluloid and black- ening it with smoke; then a blunt needle point on the registering arm will trace a curve in this smoke surface that can he fol- lowed with the minutest ccuracy. The lowest temperature recorded was t) degrees below zero, Fahrenheit, at 44,000 feet, and it was probably 104 degrees below zero at the highest point, 52.500 feet. The French savants make a computation for this last temperature of 256 degrees below zero, but there seems to be a very serious error in it, as the temperature diminution with height shows that it was nearer 104 degrees. It will require scores of such records to establish the truth under varying conditions of storms, cold waves, hot waves, winter, summer, &c., but sufficient has been done to show the great interest attached to work of this kind. The most important part of this investigation need be carried to only 30,000 feet, and this height can be reached easily by men. It would be ‘lifficult to ex- erate the value of the results to science ruing from a thorough exploration of the air up to this height. Thousands of dollars are being spent in exploring the icy es of the north, from which there have come back almost nothing but reports of heroie endeavor and the loss of property, while here is a far more enchanting field for research. The air is full of theocies re- garding the conditions of storms at great heights. Some believe th are intensely cold, others that the same relative condi- tions hold at great heights as at :he earth, but there is a lag as we come down. The Lows and Highs. Many believe that our lows and highs sre in the nature of electric or magnetic iields in the atmosphere, or they may have their origin in ether stresses brought about by rather direct solar action. If so, then these conditions must continue up to great heights. At Mt. Washington the lag of the cold and hot waves at the earth is about eleven hours, and the same is true at Pike's Peak, although these points are nearly §,000 feet apart in a vertical cirection. This iso shows an origin in the direct action cf “radiance” from the sun upon the ether and a lag at the earth, for there would be no appreciabie lag in_ the 8,000 feet trom Pike's Peak to Mt. Washington. While it is important to learn the temperature con- ditions above us, it is vastly more tmpor. tant to determine the electric conditions. The practical advantage that would ac- crue to farmers, mariners and others from a better knowledge of the conditions just above our heads producing weather changes ean hardly be exaggerated. Many of the uncertainties under which weather fore- casts are now made would be removed and the science of meteorology greatly advance ed. H. A. HAZEN.

FOR WIDOWS AND ORPHANS. ‘ Relief Committee of G. A. R. Doing Noble and Energetic Work. } The widows and orphans of ex-Union sail- ors and soldiers in this city will be provided with Christmas dinners by the relief com- mittee of the G. A. R. It is estimated that at least 500 families will be supplied with provisions for Christmas through the com- mittee. Supply headquarters have been ea- tablished in the building of the Central Union Mission, on Louisiana avenue be- tween 6th and 7th streets, and the work of assorting and distributing the provisions has commenced. The supplies purchased up to this time in- clude 3U barrels of flour, 400 pounds of cof- fee, 200 pounds of tea, 2,500 pounds of chicken, 15 bushels of beans, 300 pounds of hominy, 400 pounds of butter and 1,000 pounds of sugar. This amount will be supplemented by con- tributions from seven public schools, the pupils of which wiil bring provisions in small lots. The articles of food thus ob- tained will be assorted in packages of sizes suitable to the number of people in the family, will be labeled and directed and then another committee will see that they are distributed. The®Merchants’ Parcel De- livery Co. has offered the use of its wagons free in the delivery of the supplies. This work of charity is being conducted with the utmost system and carefulness to see that none but worthy persons re- ceive the benefits. The committee will ‘be glad to receive contributions of food from any one and will guarantee its proper de- livery. The custodian committee which “is in charge of the work at the Central Union Mission building consists of R. Bennett, Wm. Hoover, T. Fitzgerald, F. Raub, A. Hart, M. Curry, H. B. Colton and 8. R. Whitney. The transportation committee, charged with the delivery of goods, consists of N. B. Prentice, J. H. Dewees and Jno. Jost. — ae CITIZENS’ RELIEF COMMITTEE.
