TOY BALLOON
PICKED UP IN HUNGARY. A Budapest paper reports that the Meteorological Institute has received notice of the arrival of a toy balloon from England. The balloon was picked up at halfpast eight in the morning, and a card attached to it stated that it had been sent up by an English schoolboy at half-past six on the afternoon of the day before. The balloon, therefore, had come an aerial distance of 1.900 kilometres in 13 hours. (An hour is lost in the journey between England and Hungary.) The balloon’d speed is calculated to I have been 150 kilometres an hour.
