4 Man Proposes to Make the Descent

Since the days Of the Elondin /aror,
when men and wonea stood aghast at the
foolhardy daring Of the great rope-walker
in tho performance Of his remarkable
fcats at Niagara Falls, no such excite.
ment has been known. A project has re-.
Gently bean started, however, which If
carried into execution, will eclipse any
feat Of daring ever yet attempted.
Charles Ockford, Of this city, the sixty.
hour skater, has conceived the idea Of
making tho perilous passage over tho
Falls Of Niagara in IN India rubber life
boat Of peculiar construction. A few
weeks ago the idea suggested itself 10 his
mind, and upon communicating it to some
Eastern gentlemen, IL was proposed by
them that q purse Of $4,000 bo raised
TO induce him to make the undertaking.
He accordingly perfected his scheme and
the contract for building tho boat has
been let to the Goodyear Rubber Com.
pany for $1,000. Tho boat will be an
0blong, with mean diameter Of eight
feet, six inches thick at the top and sides
and three. feet thick at the bottom. A
shaft Of the same material will extend
from side to side in che center, on which
will be swung on o pivot . seat, to which,
the adventurous occupant will be fastened,
Opening at the top will be an aperture
sufficiently large Tor him to get inside,
after which IL will be 6llsd with cir and
closed up. II il calculated that suficieI
air can be retained to sustain life about
twenty minutes. A small cable will bs
attached to the ball by which it will 'bt
towsd after the descent shall have beer
made, for which purpose parties shall be
stationed in boats imms sdiately below th'
falls.
The model Of this novel craft is nov
in this city, and there 10 no doubt th&
the attempt to carry this startling projso
into execution will be made during th'
present season. Mr.. Ockford is quit
confident that he shall succeed but th'
chances for success certainly look dubi
Gus. Should he succeed, Mr.. Sydne,
Doty, Of Pontiac, will undertake the SAM
