The principal danger in captive work is the always present possibility of the wire rope parting, not because of the obvious result that the balloon, being set free, would at once make off at speed, but for reasons of a yery simple technical nature, albeit none the more pleasant by reason of their simplicity. I¢ must be understood that when a captive balloon has been sent up the required height, the neck of the balloon has to be tied up so as to prevent the wind from exerting a pressure ou the envelope and forcing out the gas, which would result in the balloon very shortly losing its lifting power and descending. In free runs the neck must always be wide open, for otherwise any sudden expansion of gas might burst the balloon. Hence if a captive breaks away it is bound to make an unduly rapid ascent, since it is suddenly released from the restraint as well as the weight of the wire rope. Of.course in such ap emergency the gas would at once commence to expand furiously, and unless the neck of the balloon were instantly-opened and kept open the envelope would inevitably burst. In the shocking accident at the Crystal palace in 1892, when poor Dale and his comrades lost their lives, the balloon was started with too much iift and commenced te rise with undue rapidity. Dale, the aeronant, realizing the ‘danger, opened the neck and in his anxiety to seo that it was clear looked into it; and it is supposed that his head checked the outrnsh of heated gas, with . the result that envelope instantly burst, with terr. results. —Macmillan’s Magazine.
