Gus balloon artist Ever dream of
falling from high place? You come
down, alight quietly and awake, and
you're not hurt. Well, that's the para

danger. A parachute can be guided
readily on the down trip. but You can't
steer balloon. 10 guide Il parachute
out of harms way a practced hand
can tilt it one way or the other, spin
out air and thus work 1t 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. TIE balloon then
shoots into the air, and the parachute
drops back OH 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 cent muslin.
"There is much more danger is COM
ing down in balloon. When it strikes
the earth, it's like big ball ana
bounds up again, taking you with it.

came down in balloon because the
parachute would not let go. nearly
came down In big stack of blast

loon away. After that never ntrust-

one, but attended to 1t myself.
"The rope that secures the parachute
is cut with knife. The aeronaut
drops fully 100 feet before the para

you're up high enough. There are sew

can't shake out n parachute IL 1t don't

When the parachute begins to fill, the
descent is less rapid. and finally when
the parachute has gradually filled 1t

guides the parachute to safe landing.
In seven cases out of ten you can land
