THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



miles away Imrizoiitally and nearly 20 miles perpendicularly. The 

 rapid diffusion of hydrogen through ihc rubber had made flights 

 of over a hundred miles impossible. Through an ingenious im- 

 provement, the addition of a bellyband which kept the girth of the 

 i)alloon constant at a diaincter of 4 feet through the discharge, 

 while shrinking, of a few drops of kerosene, the balloon rises 

 to higher levels until its ballast of kerosene or alcohol is ex- 

 hausted. 



In the first week of October, 1918, 60 such balloons, adjusted 

 to fly between 15,000 and 25,000 feet altitude, were let loose 

 from Fort Omaha, Nebraska : 34 of these were picked up and 

 returned to Washington. One came dow^n within 10 miles of 

 New York, 1.100 miles from the starting point; another in Vir- 

 ginia, 930 miles away. The rest were scattered over Ohio, Ken- 

 tucky, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa. Not one went west from 

 Omaha. 



By the fall of 1918 there were 26 upper air stations distributed 

 over the United Stales; daily charts are constructed showing the

wind direction and speed 500 meters above the ground with other 

 charts for 1.000, 1,500, 2,000, 3.000 and 4, meters. It is now 

 possible to map out the upper airways across the Atlantic as the 

 steamers are sending up long-range balloons that drop down in 

 Western Europe. 



While great improvements were made and are being made in 

 the instruments for accurate scientific observation it was found 

 necessary also to devise simpler means for quick observation in 

 the field and for rapid calculation. The Signal and the Meteor- 

 ological services have developed a whole mathematical science 

 from the formulas derived from observing the motion and varia- 

 tions of the pilot balloons.
