Dear sir: There's twice as much horse
IN one horse-it may be mare--as there
is in two or three others together
So with paints too. II painter can
do your lob with 10 gallons Devoe for
$50; it'll take n, 10 or 20 of other paints:
and the cost of job is about IS gallon,
whatever the paint may be.
There are paints adulterated three
quarters-oniy one quart OF paint in q
gallon-he's got to paint four gallons Of
rubbish to get one gallon OF pant. The
worst horse you've got is as good as
that paint, and he'll 60 as far.
The less-gallons paint is the paint, az
the most horse is the horse.
Yours truly. F. w. DRvoE & Co.

An Accidental Parachute

THE balloon rose higher and higher In this ex-
tremity, it appears that Wise lost his head and
did not know what to do. The experiment, however,
performed itself for at the height of fourteen thou
sand feet the silk bag dstended beyond its endur-
ance by the expanding gas within it, burst with a
terrific explosion.
Within ten seconds according to the acronaut's s
calculation, all the gas in the balloon had escaped
The entire apparatus began to fall toward the earth
with alarming rapidity. Presently however, the
lower part of the bag, doubling upward and inward
exactly the aeronaut had planned, formed
perfect parachute, in which the daring sky traveller
descended safely to the earth.
Another interesting balloon explosion is that
which occurred during ascension made by two
well-knOwn aGrOnauts of England, Albert Smith and
John GypsOn. The ascension was made at night
from VauXhal Gardens The account of London
seen at night from elevation of four thousand
feet, given by Smith is most interesting.

balloon was becoming too tense,

the valve rope in order to allow
the escape of gas. Owing to some

the first attempt had been made,
we heard a noise similar to the

of the pioneer aeronauts of this country "a
Wise had become convinced that with
properly constructed balloon there was
little danger to be apprehended from either
the bursting the ripping OF the balloon if it
was at a great height. In order to make clear the
truth of his theory, Wise had constructed for him
a balloon specially provided with ripping cords,
which, instead of opening up a tear down the SIDE
would make great rents in the top, so that the gas
would escape with greatest possible rapdity
On the occasion of this ascension, Wise took with
him in the cat and dog. The cat attached
to a small parachute, and was dropped out at a
height of about two thousand feet. The parachute
osCillated from side to side, but the cat reached
the ground in safety. The dog placed in the car
of a small balloon which was a miniature facsimile
of the one in which Wise making the experiment
Before being dropped this balloon was punctured

balloon, and then dropped from the The

down to the ground, which the dog reached in
perfect safety.

provided for the escape of gas, which always

air On being released the balloon had risen rapidly
to height of about thirteen thousand feet. At this
point, the air in which the balloon floating had
become so thin and the atmospheric pressure so
light that the balloon diStcnded to a point
which Wise felt to be dangerous. To cOmplcate
the situation, there occurred at this moment a
severe thunderstorm in the strata of clouds just
