to the earth by the aid of parachute. At $50
this afternoon the balloon was inflated and
sent up with the aeronaut suspended by a
trapeze attached. The drop was made In less
than three minutes, and the aeronaut landed
about one-half mile from where the balloon
started The balloon was afterward captured
three and one-half miles east of this city. The
parachute used was made of Irish linen, six
teen feet in diameter, with hole in the top to
allow the air TO pass through. Long stoutcords
were attached to the ends at equal distances,
and the ropes brought together at the lower
end and fastened to an iron bar which the
aerOnaut used in making the descent Prof.
Sisk is a professional halloOnist, but never
leaped from one before. The aerOnaut dropped
100 feet before the parachute was inflated. The
balloon was inflated with hot air.
