DOWN WITH A PARACHUTE.
A CIRCUS Balloon Man Says It's Gen-
tie and Not Hazardous.

Coming down from the clouds in a
parachute is like a Dream" said a cir
Gus balloon artist. Ever dream Of
falling from a high place? You come
down, alight quietly and awake, and
you're not hurt. Well. that's the para
chute drop over again. No; there is no
danger. A parachute can be guided
readily on the down trip, but you can't
steer a balloon. To guide a parachute
out of harms way a practiced hand
can tilt it one way or the other, spill
out air and thus work it to where you
want to land or to avoid water, trees,
chimneys or church spires. Circus as
tensions are generally made in the
evening. When the sun goes down, the
wind goes down. The balloon then
shoots into the air, and the parachute
drops back on the circus lot or not far
away. a balloon is made of 4 per cent
muslin and weighs about 500 pounds.
A parachute is made of 8 cent muslin.
There is much more danger is COM
ing down in a balloon. When it strikes
the earth, it's like a big ball and
bounds up again, taking you with it.
Not long ago in McKeesport, Pa, I
came down in a balloon because the
parachute would not let go. nearly
came down in a big stack of a blast
furnace, but the hot air drove the bal
loon away. After that l never intrust-
ed the parachute arrangement to any
one, but attended to it myself.
ssIle rome that SecI1ras tho narachn+o
is cut. with a knife. The aeronaut
drops fully 100 feet before the para
chute begins to fill, 1t must fill il
you're up high enough. There are sew
eral hundred parachute men in the
business, and the accidents are less in
ratio than railroad casualties. A man
can't shake out a parachute if it don't
open. A man in the air is simply pow
erless. Invariably the fall is head first.
When the parachute begins to fill, the
descent is less rapid, and finally when
the parachute has gradually filled it
bulges out with a pop. Then the aero
naut climbs on to his trapeze and
guides the parachute to a safe landing.
In sever cases out of ten you can land
back on the lot where you started from.
The first performers must have had
nerve to make the drop. Now it is a
regular business, not considered haz-
ardous at all. The hardest work is to
bring back the balloon with a wagon.
Sometimes it tears in the trees or
wherever it may land when not in the
open."-New York Sun.

COLTS INVENTION.
The First Great Improvement Made
In Repeating Pistols.

In Repeating Pistols.
In this day of improved firearms the
fact that the first great improvement
made in repeating pistols by Colonel
Samuel Colt was patented in the day
Of our grandfathers is seldom recalled.
1t was Colonel Colt, then of New York.
to whom was granted the patent, Feb.
25, 1886. The original petition In the
case was destroyed by the fire in De-
cember following. The letters patent
were returned when application was
made for the reissue, Sept. 1, 1913. The
original letters are signed by Andrew
Jackson, president; John Forsyth, sec
rotary of state, and Benjamin F.. But
Ter, attorney general.
After describing his invention Colo
mel Colt claims as new ''the application
of caps at the end of the cylinder, the
application of a partition between the
caps, the application of a shoulder over
the caps as a security against moisture
and the action of. smoke upon the
works of the locks, the principle of the
connecting rod between the hammer
and the trigger, the application of the
shackle to connect the cylinder with
the ratchet" etc.
There had been q revolver patented
about 20 years before by one Collin,
but until Colts invention little head
way was made. Indeed it was not I'M
til Colts invention had been given a
trial by Major Sam Walker and his
Texas rangers that it gained popular
ity and was regarded rs a success.
About the time Colonel Colt was APP
plying for a reissue, in 1S4S, Mr.. Wes-
son had filed an application for a re-
peating frearm, by which the Smith &
Wesson pistol of today is represented.

The Magical Mirror.

An ordinary mirror of any size or
shape, a piece Of French chalk, pointed
so that it can be used to write, and a
silk handkerchief are the requisites.
Draw upon the mirror, with the chalk,
any design or words you choose. With
the handkerchief wipe the glass light
ly until it is perfectly clear and
10 writing or design is apparent. Hav-
ing all this prepared beforehand, show
to some oae and request that he
breathe gently on the face of the glass,
when he will sea- picture of his flu
ture wife. for the design drawn will
show very distinctly. This can again
be wiped off, and il breathed upon the
design will be again visible.

At 10 the next morning I walked him,
and we went to see Harper. The story
passed through the mill, and Hatfeld's
claim was met in time to avert a ca

The Porto Rican story is out, and it

night Blake kept his word, given to me

days, having found the necessary in

that would really make q hit.
