FIRST PARACHUTE DROP,
Point of Mew Different from That nf Hie
Terrestbvl Observer.
The great balloon which was to bear
me on my first Journey up Into the
azure height", nnd from which 1 vvnt
to mnke my tnnldcn leap from a pnrn-i-htlli-,
was tugging lit Its moorings
upon the broad lawn I conftt thnt
It vvns with some net votisnets I took my
scut In the little car behind Joseph Not
cruss, n skillful neronnut, who had fiom
dlzry heights innde miiny n. Might earth
vvnrd through the nil. With this same
bnlloon he hnil, during the putt jenr,
wifely made slxt -seven H.scenslons,
ntul hnd each time successfully de
scended with the iMtrnchute. Set why
should I four?
Not cron.s smilingly welcomed me, nnd
tit he gave the order to enst loose the
line, nnd the men on the ground re
leased the grout iierlnl traveler, I felt
myself nlloat In a little boat upon un
ether sen There was no sudden Jolt
or Jar nbotlt It, n oleverl) was the re
lease effected I'uttltig my head over
the side of the enr, I looked below und
wns sui prised, for, npparentl), we were
not nscendliig, but the grcnt world,
with nil her gloiy of green nnd gold,
wns diopplns from us nwny down Into
space. I looked In pleased nmnzemunt
upon the wonderful panotnmn ptestnteel
ns the earth kept receding. Notcross
smiled.
Then I gazed upvvnrd nt the great
bird-like bnlloon soaring tiliimphuntly
on. Again 1 looked down, and the
houses und barns seemed to crouch
closer lo the ground, and the villages
to clutter together. Streams nnd hikes
nt lust looked like mere Mi remit or blots
of silver. Awn) In tho notth the range
of motintnlns looked like un emetalel
wall, while that dark blur on the earth
below wnt the thriving nnd populous
county seat Wo weie fnr fiom the
world Suddenly we were In a cold, 1I1I7
zllng rain, and the earth wns shut from
view I Inquiringly looked at Xoictoss.
"We hnve entered the clouds," vvnt
his smiling explnnntlon, "nnd we arc not
yet a mile high."
In five minutes we emerged Into
beautiful sunshine. Renenth Iny n
heaw bank of fog, burnished by the
ardent afternoon sunlight, but the
earth for n time was not within tight.
Stiddenlj-, thtough a 1 If t In the clouds,
I caught n glimpse of It far, far below.
So distant vvns it that onlv here and
there could nn object on its surface be
discerned Trulv, we wero getting well
up In the world The thought at onco
attracted my serious attention to the
balloon Suppose it should spiing a
leak or collapse, what would be the fate
of the daring skx travelers? Or. on the
other hntul, If the valve Hue failed to
operate, would we go on upvvanl for
ever'' Tho thought dlstmbed me not a
little The neionnut surmised whnt was
passing In my mind, smiled genlallj,
nnd said
"I haxe mn tie a thousand ascensions
unhaimed From whnt height vvoulel
j-ou like to leap?"
".Mnke It nbout 1,000 feet," I replied de
termined!). "AH right," Noiciott responded, ns he
scanned the neiometer nnd piomptly
pulled open tho alve, preparatory to de
scending Placing my hand out over the side of
the car, the rush of cold air against my
down-tinned palm indicated that wo
weie agntn swiftly journeying earth
ward Suddenh we were en eloped
In the tog of .1 c-loudbniik for
a minute or two, nnd then
emergc'd with the distant earth In view
The glance at It fiom my peicli thete
away up near the clouds only Increased
my nervousness.
"Look up' Look up!" exclaimed the
neronnut, "or you'll lose j-our nerve "
A glance downwind when descending
with the parachute might, I knew, turn
my hair white or bilng on n stroke of
p.ual)sis, us It had done In the case of
some other men
"Twenty -live hundred feet from heio
to tho ground," exclaimed the smiling
Noicioss "fiet leadv."
Hi- then bound lountl my body under
the nrms .1 stout tope, tho othei end of
which was. seemed to the trnpezo bar
In my hand, which bar in tuin was at
tached to the parachute thnt hung at
the bottom of tho cnr.
It was now rapidl) apptonching tho
time when 1 should make the leap of
mj life, nnd, grasping tho guy lopes of
the car, I htood upon the sett in loneli

"Lean as far nut into the nit- ns tins.

line will 1 elt use the pnrnc-hute, which
will open Its ilfteen-foot sprend in a sec
ond or two," he said, "then nil you've
got to do is to look up and hnng on "
"Twelve bundled loot," shouted Nor
cross. I tightened my grasp on tho
trapeze liar, looked steadfastly upvvnrd
and nwniteti tho wuid to leap. It was
the most trying time of mj life, but I
was determined to make the Jump,
"fin!" suddenly ex-clnimed tho aero
naut. Closing my eyes I made a great
leap out into space nnd could feel my
self rapidly shooting downward Then
the trapeze line tautened with a slight
Jerk thnt Indicated the release of the
closed parachute, nnd I looketl up just

parachute did not open Tho seconds
passed Into 11 minute and then thtee,
lour, tlvo minutes Would tho parachute
never open? .Must I bo dashed to death
on the giound 1,000 feet below?
Suddenly theio came a shntp ellck
from above, and my speed perceptibly
slackened. All, the patachuto hud

Then, a few seconds nftervvnrd, to my
delight, my feet struck tho ground, nnd
the most thrilling Journey of my life wns
ended,
Calmly I folded the parachute nnd
then looked up for the balloon. I saw
it gracefully sinking to tho eaith In an
adjoining Held, and 11 few minutes later
had the satlsmctlon of receiving the
hearty congratulations of tho aeronaut,
who told me, to my great surprise, that
