position the body is placed inside the balloon occupying an air tight receptacle which connects with the balloon interior thru only a gas tap This casket rests on a rubber cushion which has a expan sion and thru the cushion a rough pin works thru an inflammable com position The coffin is lined with wax and before it is put into a fine balloon a strong acid is poured into it and over the body Dissolution begins at once and a gas is forineV which flows out thru the top and as the weight of the coffin grows less the rubber cushion expands drawing the rough pin attached thru the in flammable substance In the mean- time the balloon has been rising with its lifting power of nine hundred pounds furnished by ordinary illum inating gas As the Are catches the gas rushes in and the balloon al ready at a great height rushes up ward with tremendous momentum In an experiment made with the body of a big dog the reached a height of three thousand feet pouring clouds of white vapor from the valve in the casket For two hundred feet more a black smoke came from it Then a light broke from the lower end of the It was on fire and with a fiery streak like that left by a rocket the whole
