Show Seen From a Balloon. I A remarkable sight to be 6een from a balloon is the bottom of lakes and ponds. While over Lake Erie Carl E. Myers, the balloonist, says he saw clearly a wreck lying under 75 feet of water. It was that of a schooner, sunk 40 years ago. At a height of half a mile the entire en-tire bottom of a small lake or pond can be clearly seen, and MrJ Myers believes that on a clear day an aeronaut of good vision could see from a height of a mile submarine objects at a depth of 400 or 500 feet beneath the water. |
