PRESARD PLTURE | HEH AR SPEES Btratosphere Pioneer Pre- Idicts Planes Will Fly 10 to {15 Miles Above Earth, Boecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, June 23 (NANA)— Within the next few years airplanes| fvill be traveling at a speed undreamed ©of today. Five, 600 miles an hour will be their ordinary cruising speed, fying 8t a height of from 1,200 to 1,500 miles Bbove the earth, with a scheduled time ®f six hours from New York to Paris. Chicago will be little more than an hour's trip from New York, and a eross-country flight from coast to coast will be made in three hours—and all | in perfect safety, with none of the handicaps of wind, rain a Which worry the pilots of toda; These are the predictions of Prof. uguste Piccard, renowned for his rec- ord balloon flights into the stratosphere | gnorc than 10 miles above the earth. | The professor arrived here yesterday | mboard the Champlain on his way to | the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago, where, some time during July, | he will supervise a flight into t stratosphere, to be made by his tw brother, Jean. and Comdr. J. M.

He expects the Chicago flight to re- (B Weal further data which will speed | ‘aviation’s development, step up the progress of air travel by at least 25§ ears and at the same time bring to| fighl new faects concerning cosmic rays swhich may aid scientists of the future £0 open up a vast and unlimited source ©f heat and power for the world. Prof. Piccard sees nothing remark- Bble in the predicted results of his ex- Periments, To him they are already nothing more than facts to be accepted, Bust as every one now accepts radio and the telephone and electric light. $He chatted about the wonders of the future in much the same manner as one would talk of a prospective trip mcross the country on a railroad train. “How soon this will come, I can't pre- he said, speaking of the prob- ability of new high-speed planes. “May- be one year, maybe two, maybe 10. But 4t will come. Several stratosphere ships are already being constructed. And—" he made an expressive little gesture with his hands—“why not? All that is needed is certain modifications—air- tight compartments to protect the pilot | and the passengers because of the rari- | fied air. Fly at High Altitudes. “Planes will fly at from 10 to 15 Mniles above the earth—and in much | greater safety than at the lower alti- tudes. Why? Because there is less Tesistance, and they can make greater #peed—500 or 600 miles an hour. There s greater security because up in the stratosphere there is no rain, no ice to form on the wings, no wind, no mist, ®o air pockets. It is all good weather. “Before this,” he went on, smiling a fittle, “people would have been afraid | to fly at such great heights. But now that I have been there, and say that it is perfectly safe—for there really is mnot much danger about it—aviation can 80 on. And people will ride in the new planes. It will be much more com- fortable, much more beautiful, also. ‘There is nmothing more beautiful than he sight from the stratosphere of the $un setting in the Alps. Marvelous!” " The beauty of the sights from such an altiture, the professor said, is some- ng that cannot be expressed in words. *You must go up and ses for yourself how beautiful it i he said. “When Jou get to a certain height, below you Fou see a—what do you call?—a sharp division in the air. Below—a layer of | dusty white fog. Above that, the stratosphere is blue, with the sky grow- ing carker and darker. You have never seen such a beautiful view. And on one side, where the sun is, you open®a window—it is brilliant light. You open one on the other side—it is dark.” |CHANGES IN BUS ROUTES { authorized yesterday by the Public Utilities Commission as a result of the Gov wiliam (Alfalfa Bill) Murray is | Heat Absorption.
