He landed safely just behind the foot lights but he had a narrow escape, missing the edge of the stage by only a fraction of an inch.

Mercer Goes Into Hligh And Exceeds
 All Speed lLiuaits

G. A. Mercer is not the manufae- turer of the famed automobile of the same name, it is said, but tho police declare that he has demonstrated tho feasibility of tho theory that a Mer- cer may consume alcohol just as weII as gasoline. The same amount of power is forthcoming also, it is asserted, although it manifests it. self, in the case of alcohol, along di- versified channels. In fact it is en- tireIy the converse of the fundamen- tai principal of light, which radiates in straight lines, as do automobiles propelled by gasoline-sometimes.
