LEAP FROM CLOUDS.

The parachute jumper is a compar-
RtiVely recent product in the profes-
sion Of bsllooning The first parachute
Jumper, the first man literally TO make
the leap from the clouds, was Sam
Baldwin, now a successful manufac-
t,lrer of balloons at Quincy, III. Bald
win, his brother and Prof. Van Tassel,
three gas balloon men, happened to
meet In a. Los Angeles hotel in the
summer OF 1887 Each had a hard
Luck story to tell and 1t was unanl-=
n1ously agreed that the business had
gone to the dogs. As means of re-.
suscatating it and rescuing it from the
canine grasp Baldwin suggested the
parachute leap. The others did not
believe it possible for a man to make
the jump and live.
Out Of the chatting came determin-.
alton to make the experiment. None
OF them was willing to offer himself up
as a sacrifice. SO bag OF sand was
substituted. The balloon was sent up
from the commons with q long string
attached to the parachute rope When
the bag had risen in height Of three
quarters OF mile the cord was pulled
and the chute cut loose. It dropped
lake a log for a hundred feet, then
opened and came slowly down to earth.
Repeated experiments convinced each
that it was q safe trick with a man in
place Of the bag Of sand. Van Tassel
then went to Frisco to interview the
newspapers and get them to send spe-
clals to Los Angeles, but while he was
away the impatient BaldWins expert
mented themselves and Sam made the
first jump in history safely and easily.
The BaldWins were quick to realize
the money value of being first in the
field and they started east to inaugur-
ate the sport there The greatly in
censed Van TasseI broke with them
and getting an outfit began making as
cents himself. @

The new act leaped lpto popular IA
vor at once The incredible daring of
the performance and theNseeming fact
that it was more than an equal chance
that the aeronaut would be Mashed to
pieces drew immense crowds every
where the leep was advertised to take
place. The man who rode the bag
could command almost any price he
asked. For some time the three bal
# loonists who told each other hard-luck
stories in Los Angeles had the field to
themselves. Most Of the other aero
nauts were afraid OF it. With four as
'sistants and pushing manager the
BaldWins made a tour around the
world. In a year and half they net
ted a cool 100000 in cash. To this
they added big money secured from the
managers of many eastern resorts
Eive hundred dollars was the fixed
charge for one performance.
With the advent of other riders OF
the bag as the technical term OF the
profession is, prices began to drop.

very prevalent in Yale this winter.
Mrs. V. A. Lacy and two children
have been sick the past week, the little
baby quite seriously so but all are
some better at present.
Mrs. Harry VanVleet, after q severe
seige of sickness, is very much better
and her friends haye brighter hopes of
her complete recovery in the near

No interpreter was present at the au-
dience, the conversation being in Arabic
throughout. There is, declares the cor
respondent, no doubt in regard to the
soundness of the sultans views, but he
is much hampered by surrounding in
fluences, and honest viziers are required.
Abdul Ell ASH makes no secret of his
desire to see reforms in every branch of
the government. The correspondent ex-

likely that hydrogen itself. which chem
ica1 theorists have thought to be the
one element which the others would
sooner or later prove to be compounds,
seems to be Of composite nature"
Other photographs made at about tae
same time show the curious fact that the
spectrum of lightning Is not always the
same. Some of the photographs show
doubling of the bright lines. Prof Pick
ering was at first inclined to believe that
this was sort of composite photo. but
he now concludes that the doubling
looks as though hydrogen. the only ele-
ment studied in the lightning spectrum.
and hitherto believed to be the least
likely ever to be proved a compound
body, is made up of at least three COM
ponents.
This conclusion he bases upon the fact
that there were 80 lines on the hydrogen
spectrum on one photo, three in number,
and one in the third. different flashes
having been photographed under differ
ent circumstances.
Another remarkable circumstance In
connection with the study of picturing
spectrum lightning flashes Is that they
are similar to that of the second new
star in the constellation Perseus. known
as Nova Persei No. 2. which were taken

AMERICA 1NvADEs ENGLAND.
Lotus Club Speaker Says Englishmen
Do Not Regard Us as Foreigners.
(By Associated Press.

(By Associated Press.)
New York, Nov. 1S.-The sentiments
expressed at the Lotus club meeting Sat
urday night met with hearty response
in this country, says a London CORE
spondent.
The Standard perhaps scarcely voices
the general opinion of Enelishmen when
it says American invasion OF Great
Britain has been viewed without the
smallest jealousy, but it strikes true
note when it remarks:
with the best will in the world, an
Englishman usually flnds it a little diff
cult to overcome q certain insular stiff
ness which separates him from the con-
tinerital peoples, but With an American
he is 80 soon at home that he scarcely
regards him as a foreigner.
1.-The most satisfactory feature in the
political horizon. not wholly free from
clouds, is that this tendency Is becoming
national as we'll as individual.
American statesmen have during the
last two years treated US with scrupr-
lous fairness and an anxious desire to
avoid adding to our endorsements for
which we are none the less grateful, be-
cause it is based on the slight favor we
were able to tender to the United States
in their last serious international COM
plication."
