an eye-opener,' is swathed is so many
bandages 'today he resembles a
mummy;
Law yesterday attempted to pull
off a stunt for a moving picture con

New York to Paris in 160 Minutes."
Jules Verne's hero, Ty Qpbb, numer
ous rich men'i sonB and other speed
boys were, to be made to look like
pikers.
Law's ascent was to he accomplish

means of 800 pounds of powder. His
patent folding parachute was
stranned to his back. He expected to
go up several thousand feet andEen
float gracefully down on the end of
the parachute.
The cloudbuster climber into a cyl

"Hell, the damned thing didn't

soon as he recovered his senses.
He will try again as soon as a
strongerrocket is constructed
