FOR BALLOON ASCENSION.
The Best Time to Start, Says an Elk.
pert, Is at the Going Down
of the Sun.

did you ever know why II Is that a
balloon ascension at a country fair
promised for 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
never occurs until about CT" Harry
Bindley. expert parachute jumper. ask.
cd a st. Louis Globe Democrat man.
ut always happens, and the expla.
nation generally is that the prepare.
tons for the ascension could not be
made in time. This Is rarely the case,
for the balloonist never had any In.
tention OF going up earlier than just
toward the close Of day. The reason
for this Is that not only is an ascen.
sion at any other time fraught with a
little more danger on account of the
winds which usually prevail. but also
because by these same winds the bal.
loon and parachute are apt to be car.
ried too far away. perhaps SO far that
injury may befall them before they can
be recovered.
THE old and experienced balloonist
never makes an ascension except just
at shutdown. Because with the going
down of the sur the winds subside con.
siderably; lie can go almost straight
up. break away his parachute. and
come down in the very lot from which
the ascension was made.
There Is really little danger In
parachute leaping when the man who
does 1t Is experienced. The parachute
must open and bring him down safely.
though he will have q hair raising
drop like a chunk Of lead for about
100 feet, the distance usually covered
before the big bag opens. Then he can
guide his descent readily by raising OF
lowering this side or that in order tc
spill a little air, and thus keep 1t from
drifting.
"A balloon can't be guided. but Q
parachute with a man Of experience
! hanging to 1t can be controlled as
easily Is q boat. for the reason that
by fitting 1t on one side you can force
1t in the other direction. and thus
maneuver so that II It IL desired you
can deposit yourself on the very spo'
Of the ascension. II IL only the inex-
perienced men who drift. or those who
fear they may incline the bag too far
for safety"
