Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). Rural School Leaflet. 919 and they said it wasent a Electric Bloon and that they never sent up any kind of a Bloon with out some one went with it. Pleas write and tell me weather they do send up Electric Bloons or not and tell me weather any one goes with them or not. Yours truly, Ivan Sawyer Ivan was interested enough to ask for information. The reply sent to him from the office of the Weather Bureau at Ithaca was as follows: Mr. Ivan Sawyer, Ischua, N. Y. Dear Friend: Your letter asking about the balloon has been handed to me by Miss McCloskey with the request that I should answer it as the Weather Bureau is somewhat interested in bal- loons. Our people at Mount Weather, Virginia, have sent up what are called captive bal- loons and kites for the pur- pose of ascertaining some facts about the air far above the earth's surface, especially its temperature. Other persons too have made use of the captive balloons, experimenting with different gases to find which would give the best results with balloons of various materials. These balloons, you will no doubt be interested to learn, are sent up without any person going along: they are too small to carry the weight of [a man. Such a balloon might have some kind of light suspended from it so that it could be watched at night, but I cannot be sure whether this is what you saw or not. Yours truly, Wilfred M. Wilson, Section Director. Fig. 25.—The locust tree. To what family does it belong ?.
