INNSBRUCK, May 27. Fears for the safety of Professor Picard's halloon, which hovered at

No report has been received of. the landing of Pivard's balinon and since it is hermetically sealed with mere ten hours' supply of oxygen, it is greatly fenred that the enthu Riusts have drifted to death.

HELIN, May 29, Daylight brought no news of the Balloonist Picard and his panien, Doctor' Kipfer.

Coin-

It is now regarded as practically certain that disaster has overtaken them. One theory is that the cold night air may have forced down the balloon and caused it to crash on the Austrian Tyrol. Another view held by many scientists is that the airmen in their sealed gondola met their death by suffocation, possibly through failure of the oxygen ap paratus. The fact that no reply has been received to rocket signals fired from the ground when the balloon was righted near Innsbruck

this theory.
