PERILS IN THE AIR.
An Extraordinary Balloon Ascension, and
What Came of It.
The last balloon ascension undertaken for
scientific purposes was that of Mr. Glashier,
which took place in England in September.
With utter disregard of safety or comfort, this
gentleman has ventured upon scientific exper
iments at higher altitudes than any timid per
son would care to be, and although his last ex
pedition nearly proved fatal to him, he has re
turned safely with a remarkable chapter of
aerial experiences to narrate. lhe London
Athenaeum justly remarks that in his hands the
balloon is restored to its old rank of a philo
sophical agent. Gay-Lussair has shown the
men of science how to use the balloon for
scientific purposes ; but Mr. (flashier, by his
successive ascents, is adding largely to our
knowledge of the higher regions of the at
mosphere.
The September ascension was made in Mr.
Coxwell's great balloon, and the highest point
reached was five and three-quarter miles. Mr.
aLsehier's interesting narrative of this voyage
thus describes the effects of the atmosphere at
different altitudes:
INN FRINIIIIG POINT AT TWO MIL
When we attained the height of two miles,
at 1 h. 21 min., the temperature had fallen to
the freezing point ; we were three miles high
at 1 h. 28 m., with a temperature of 18 deg.;
at 1 h. 89 m. we had reached four miles, and
the temperature was 8 deg.; in ten minutes
more we had reached the fifth mile, and the
temperature of the air had passed below zero,
and there read minus 2 deg.; and at this point
no dew was observed on Regnanit's hygrometer
when cooled down to minus 30 deg. Up to this
timel had taken the observations with com
fort. I had experienced no difficulty in breath
ing, while Mr. Coxwell, in consequence of the
necessary exertion he had to make, had breath
ed with difficulty for some time.
MINUS OF SIGHT ET FIVE AND A. QUART= KUM
At 1 h. 51 in. the barofneter read 11.05 inch.,
but which requires a substractive correction of
0.25 inch., tti found by comparison with Lord
Wrottesley's standard barometer just before
starting, both by his lordship and myself, which
would reduce it to 10.08 inches, or at a height
of about st miles, I read the dry bulb as minus
5 degrees ; in endeavoring to read the wet bulb
I could not see the column of mercury. I
rubbed my eyes, then took a tense, and also
failed. I then tried to read the other hustru
manta, and found I could not do so, nor could"
see the hands of the watch. I asked Mr. -
well to help me, and he said be must go in
co
the ring, and be would when he came down. I
endeavored to reach some brandy, 'which was
•Iyhig on the tableat - about the distance of a
foot froM my hand, and found myself unable
do so.
TOTAL LOSS OF POW= AT MS AND THRICE QIJAR-
INS 10CLIZI
My sight became more dim, I looked at the
barometer, and saw it between 10 and 11 inches,
and tried to record it, but I was unable to
write, I then saw it at 10 inches, still decreas
ing fast, and just noted it in my book; its true
reading, therefore, was at this time about 91
inches, implying a height of about 54- miles, as
a change of an inch in the reading of the be
rometerat this elevation takes place on a change
of height of about 2600 feet. 1. felt I was los
ing all power, and endeavored to rouse myself
by struggling and shaking. I attempted to
speak, and found I had lost the power. I ati•
tempted to look at the barometer again, my
head fell on one side ; I struggled and got it
right, and it fell on the other, and finally fell
backward.
My arm, which had been resting on the table t
fell down by my side. I saw Mr. Cornwell dim 4
ly in the ring. It became more misty, and tinal4
ly dark, and I sank unconsciously as in sleep
this must have been about 2h.b4 m. I then
heard Mr. Cornwell say, "What is the tempera
ture f Take an observation
,; now try." But
I could neither see, move nor speak. I then,
heard him speak more emphatically, "take an'
observation, now, do try." I shortly after
ward opened my eyes, saw the instruments and
Mr. Cornwell very dimly, and soon saw clearly,
and said to Mr Cornwell, "I have been insensi
ble ;" and he replied, "You have, and I near
ly."
I recovered quickly, and Mr. Coxwell said,
"I have loot the use of my hands; give me
some brandy to bathe them." His hands were
nearly black. I saw the temperature was still
below zero, and the barometer reading 11 in
ches, but increasing quickly. I resumed my
observations at 2h. h. 7 m., recording the barome
ter reading 11 53 inches, and the temperature
minus 2 deg. I then found that the water in
the vessel supplying the wet-bulb thermometer
which I had by frequent disturbances kept
from freezing, was one solid mass of ice. Mr.
Coxwell then told me that while in the ring
he felt it piercingly cold, that hoar frost was
all around the neck of the balloon, and on at
tempting to leave the ring he found his hands
frozen, and he got down how he could; that
he found me motionless' with a quiet and placid
expression on the countenance. He spoke to
me without eliciting a reply, and found I was
insensible.
THE AERONAUT'S EEPEIMENT
He then said he felt insensibility was coming
over himself ; that he became anxious to open
the valve ; that his hands failed him ' • aud that
he seized the line between his teeth, aud pulled the
valve pen until the ha/loon took a turn downward.
This act isluite characteristic of Mr. Coxwell.
I have never yet seen him without a ready
means of meeting every difficulty as it has
arisen, with a cool self-possession that has al
ways left my mind perfectly easy, and given to
me every confidence in his judgment in the
management of so large a balloon. •
Mr. Glashier is convinced that the balloon
containing only himself and the aeronaut Cox
well finally reached an altitude of over six miles,
but of this he is not positive, as his ability to
read the instruments ceased at the height of
five and three quarter miles. On this point, he
says
On asking Mr. Ooxwell whether be had no
ticed the temperature, he said he could not, as
the faces of the instruments were all toward
me, but that he had noticed that the centre of
the aneroid barometer, its blue hand and a rope
attached to the car were in the same straight
'hut. If so, the reading must have been be
tween seven and eight inches. A height, of
six miles and a half corresponds to eight inches.
A delicate self-registering minimum thermom
eter reads minus 12 deg ; but unfortunately I
did not read it Mil was out of the'car, and I
cannot say that its index was not disturbed.
TEI DISOBINT
The account of the descent is equally inter
esting. Mr. (flashier says :
On descending, when the temperature rose to
17 deg. it was remarked as warm, and at 24
deg. it was noted as very warm. The tempexa
tire then gradually increased to 571 deg. on
reaching the earth. It was remarked that the
sand was quite warm to the hand, and steam
issued from it when it was discharged. Six
pigeons were taken•up. One was thrown out
at the height of three miles. It extended its
wings and dropped as a piece of paper. A sec
ond, at four miles, flew vigorously round and
round, apparently taking a great dip each time.
A third was thrown out between four and five
miles, and it fell downward. A fourth was
thrown out at four miles when we were deuces
ding. It flew in a circle, and shortly after
alighted on the top of the balloon. The two
remaining pigeons were brought down to the
ground ; one was found to be dead, and the
other (a carrier) had attached to its neck a
note.
It would not, however, leave, and when
jerked off the finger, returned to the hand.
After a quarter of an hour it began topeck a
piece of ribbon encircling its neck, and I then
jerked it off my finger, and it flew round two

It would seem from this ascent, that live
miles from the earth is very nearly the limit
of human existence. It is possible, as the ef
fect of each high ascent upon myself has been
different, that on another occasion I might be
able to go higher ; and it is possible that some
persons may be able to exist with less air and
bear a greater degree of cold ; but still I think
that prudence would say to all, whenever the
barometer reading falls as low as eleven inches,
open the valve at once; the increased informa
tion to be obtained is not commensurate with
the increased risk.
During the ascent Mr. Glashier attempted to
take a photograph of the
. scene below, which
he described as being very beautiful, but the
immense • velocity of the balloon during the
ascent rendered this impossible.
The London Times, commenting upon this
perilous enterprise, observes :
The aerial voyage just performed by Mr. Col
well and Mr. Glashier, deserves to rank with
the greatest feats of experimentalizers, diseov
erers and travelers. It is true these gentlemen
have not brought down a very comfortable or
inspiring report of the upper world into which
they have penetrated. Science and poetry are
unhappily rather airvariance upon the subject of
the air and the sky. Poetry points upward to
the sky with glowing rapture as the scene of
brightness and glory, and a residence there
figures as the reward of heroism and greatness.
Everything is happy and splendid that is con
nected with the sky. But science penetrates
with its materiel eye into these vast upper
spaces, and simply reports a great difficulty of
breathing there; that the blood stagnates, the
limbs become benumbed, the senses evaporate,
and nature fainti in unconeciousneel a The very
birds will not fly in that very sky which is their
poetical home.
The distinction is that poetry looks up to the
sky from below, and science examines and feels
it on a level. The sky is the emblem of poetry
—the fact of science. Both aspects of it are
equally true, but the point of view from which
they are taken is quite different. But, though
our recent explorers of the sky do not add to
its brilliancy as a picture, they have furnished
one more striking and impressive scene to the
history of science. They have 'Shown what en
thusiasm science can inspire and what courage
it can give. If the man, as the poet says, had
need of "tripple steel about his breast" who
first launched a boat into the sea, certainly
those had no less need of it who first floated in
the air six miles above the surface of the earth.

The Richmond Dispatch of the 18th inst. says:
"From the remarkable consistency of the three
reports published by us yesterday, it seems that
our forces under Bragg, gained a great victory
over Buell. Our loss is 6,000.
The present position of our army is not
known, but doubtless they are in . pursuit of
the enemy.

All information from our (rebel) army is
burdened with unnecessary complaints of the
wretched and shameful arrangements for the

Reports from Winchester say that General
Stuart is off on another foray, and that a caval

the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers.
A march of the enemy into the inferior of
Alabama would succeed in cutting the Confed
eracy completely in two. Then they enemy
could hope to do even more by having posses
sion of the Mississippi river throughout its
entire length, as it would destroy the ,Ilne of
connection now passing through Montgomery,
which has been of incalculatable benefit to the
people of the entire south.
The Federal Advance into Arkansas,
Se. Lours, Oct. 20.
Scofield, with his advance, has reached Elk

ing them.
Acting Rear Admiral Porter, being yesterday
requested to co-operate with General Curtis in
certain matters down the Mississippi, replied
from Cairo, in twenty minutes after the receipt
of the message, that his movement was com
menced.
Recent orders from Washington extend the
command of Gen. Curtis over Arkansas, Mis
souri, Alton City, Kansas, Nebraska and Colo
rado.
Gov. Evans, of Colorado, in an interview with
Gen. Curtis, states that the alarm which was
felt in Colorado in reference to Indian depreda
tions was passing away, the tribes in that ter
ritory not seeming interested in the uprising of
the Minnesota savages.
To make things sure, Gen. Curtis has consen
ted that the two regiments raised in. Colorado,
one being mounted, shall remain home to pre
serve the peace.
Gen. Fremont arrived here yesterday. He
comes as a witness in the McKinstry case, and
may be detained for several days.
