The 600,000 cubic foot gaa bag was filled with 120,000 cubic feet of hy drogen, which swelled beneath the heat of the aun's raya In a three hour wait after night had lifted at the air dock here. The bag awayed gentlySn a light breeze as the baloonlsta got aboard the spherical gondola. Then the order to cast off waa given by Settle. The naval aeronaut sat atop the gondola as the lines were cast away. The ballaat held the baloon close to the ground for several minutes. I Then the commander caat off eight 35-pound bags of sand and one forty pound bag of lead dust, whereupon the huge craft shot upward 1.000 feet. Waving farewell to the three or four hundred spectators on the field be low, the commander slid feet first through the porthole Into the light metal gondola wben the balloon waa: about 150 feet In the air. The wives of the two officers, after klastng'them goodbye, entered the au tomobile of E. H. Perkins, representa tive of the firm which built the paper-thin magnesium alloy gondola.

One bath of flies was on hand last Thurs day but most of the insects died. The gondola, did carry some one- celled organisms, however, for experi ments. Commander Settle and Major Ford- ney, disdaining the cold which made spectators shiver in the vast atrdock. wore only leather Jackets and trousen. although the major did have a light topcoat which he alternately wore and discarded, during the wait for the take-off. The major, who ww making his first balloon trip and who may have to Jump out with a parachute a mile from the ground to lighten the load I on the descent, was smiling and Jovial Commander Settle waa serious.
