PARACHUTE FALL.

New York Sun: Coming down from
the clouds in a parachute is like a
cream. said a circus balloon artist.
Ever dream of failing from a high
pace! You come down, aiight quietly,
ana awake. and you're not hurt, We'll,
that's the parachute drop over again.
NO. there is no danger. A parachute can
be guided readily on the down trip, but
you cant 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. eaimneys or church spires. Cir. as
ascensions are generally made in the
wind goes up. 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 four-cent muslin
and weighs about 500 pounds. A para
chute is made of eight-oent muslin.
There is much more danger in 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 iol.g
in Mckeesport, Penn. l 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 balloon away. After that I
never intrusted the parachute arrange
ments to any one, but attended to it my
self.

fully 100 feet before that parachute De-
gins to fill. 1t must fill. if you're up high
enough. There are several hundred par
chute men in the business and the SC
cidents are less in ratio than railr )ad
casualties. Our business is new at that.
A man can shake out a parachute, If
it don't open. A man in the air is simply
powerless. 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 sew
en- cases out of 10 you can Ian back ON
the lot where you started FROM. The first
! performers must ave had nerve to make
the drop. Now it is a. regular business,
not considered hazardous, at all. The
hardest work is to bring back the ball
loon with a wagon. Sometimes 1T tears

porting back this bill, cut the amount
down, to such dimensions that the bill
would meet the approval of eve interest
ed parties. The addition of this herd Of
btffalO, instead of being an injury to
New Mexico, will be of positive advan-
t4ee. because it adds an additional indus
try or. rather, restores one which has
been destroyed. The lease is a Temporal
~ one, and runs but 20 years. If it is
found that the animals sufficiently in
crease under this arrangement the lease
could be renewed otherwise there would
be no harm done in terminating IL.
In. 1878 congress passed a law to pro-
tect the buffalo. but the president of the
United States failed to sign it and it did
not become a law The failure to sign
this. bill might be called another ''crime
of '1S." Action then would have been in
time. The failure to act now in this mat
ter Will be fatal. The government should
make this experiment. 1t ought to be
made even il 1t had to be made entirely
at public expense. but under the plan
pr0posed the government will not expend
q single dollar The land to be used for
the purpose is public land. 1t belongs to
the people. The whole people Of the
United States are concerned in saving
the nation from the reproach of allowing
the entire extinction of the American BIZ
son.

making such a provision has been favor
aply reported in congress and is now

the famous petrified forests of Arizona.
The vast tract of interesting country thus
set apart for the people and preserved

the ground seems to be everywhere
studded with gems consisting of the
broken fragments of all shapes and

There Is no other petrified forest In
which the wood assumes so many varied

is these that present the chief attrac-
ton to the general public. The state of
naturalization in which much of this
