the most daring balloon feat ever per-
/ formed in this section. He is going up
in condemned balloon which he will
destroy by fire in mid-air
The work of destroying the balloon
the release from it and the parachute
d1cp will be done through the medium
Of an electromagnetic battery which
will be operated by Dynamite Dick

electric spark he will set off FIVE
pounds of dynamite which will blow
the balloon into a million sparks. En-
closed in the cabinet he will then drop
some 200 feet before the parachute
opens. From this parachute he will
cut away another and smaller one
opening and the aeronaut falling with
great speed.
Mutually will fall inside the White
City The daring act will be per-
formed under the rays of an immense
searchlight.
