Mr. C. Hubbard, the aeronaut, says that he usually goes up from 3,000 to 4,000 feet before he cuts the parachute loose, and that it is a mistaken idea that the higher up from earth the colder it gets. During the winter the air is much warmer at 4,000 feet than at the earth's surface; the cold winter air only rises about 500 feet, and it is very noticeable in coming down in the parachute as it nears the earth.
