Parachute Jumping as a Pro fession.

The first parachute jumper, the first j man to literally make the leap from j the clouds, was Sam Baldwin, now a successful manufacturer of balloons at I Qsmcey, 111,TJ,8. Baldwin, bis brother, and Prof. Vao Tassel, three gas balloon men, happened to meet in a Lm Angeles betel in the summer of 1887. 1 Esicfe bad a hs.rd luck story to tell, and 1 ft was unanimously agreed that the! business had gone to the. do^s. As a J means of resuscitating it and rescuing j it from tbe canine grasp, Bildwia sug* j gested the parachute leap. The othars did not believe it possible for a man to SB«ke the jump and live. Out of the chaffing came a determination to ruako th. experiment. None of them was willing to ofier himself up as a sacrifice, 10 A BAG OP SAND Wa8 jmbatituted. The balloon wa% cent up from the commons with a long string attached to the parachute ropp. When the bag had risen to a height of three-quarters of a mile the cord was pulled and the chute cut loose. It dropped like a ■ log' for a ■' hundred' feet, then opened and came down slowly to earth. Repeated experiments con vinced each that it was a safe trick witb » man in place of the bag of aand. V»n Tassel then went to 'Frisco to interview tbe newspapers and gat them to send specials to Los Angeles, but while he was away the impatient Bald-1 wins experimented themselves, and S^m j made TH» FIBST JUMP IN HISTORY safely and easily. The B-Udwins were quick 60 realise the money value of being first in th© field, and they started East to inaugurate the sport there The greatly incensed Van Tassel broke with them,and getting an outfit, began making ascents himself. Tbe new act leaped! into popular favour at once. The incredible darin? of the perform arjoe amlthe seeming fact that it was more than an equal chaocfi that the aeronaut would be dashed to pieces drew immense crowds everywhere the leap was advertised to take place. The man who "rode the bag " could com mand almost any price he asked. For some time the three balloonist* who told each other hard luck stones in Lob Angeles had the field to them selves. Most of the other aeronauts were were afraid of it, With four assistants and a pushing manager the Baldwins mad© a tour around the world In a year and a half THEY NETTED A COOL £20,000 io cash. To this they added big money secured ftom the managers of many Eastern resorts. Five hundred dollars waa the fixed charge for one perfor mance. The public craze for novelty, combined with the desire to excel, canted a number of startling inno vations First came the man and a woman, then later the dog was added. First the man and woman rode ou the same bar. Later they had separate parachutes, tied to the same bar. When tbe dog arrived on the scene he wai given a chute of his own. It was tieel to the bar, and when the signal came all that was necesaary was to unloose it. Then came the man mmm a bicycle in mid-air. When he left the ground he was pedal. tog at a great ratp. This he kept up as long as he was in sight. It" looked very roky, but it wasn't. The mac hine was tied stoutly to the parachute, with the cut-off rope dangling down within reach, while the rider himself was as-cured by hidden safety appli ances to the wheel. Later came the man who find himself out of a cannon in mid-air. This was spectacular ond taking, but a great deal of a f»k'\ The Mded chute was first placed inside a big tube of tin moutted on stanchions and carriage of the same flimsy mater ial, painted black to resemble iron. This was attached to the parachute. Then the performer crawled in. He had corj~e*led in tbe breast of his leo tard, tbe half coat used by all tumblers and Crap'ase artists, a pistol provided with blank cartridges. The balloon was released in the ordinary manner, And.. when it reached a proper heioht the aeronaut exploded his cartridge, and THS HUMAN CANNON BALL. dropped into view. Down in an Indiana tawnae aero-ant with a gas ballon Successfully made an ascension with a big farm waggon attached. To add to the realism, the performer sat on the front leat and plied a long whip. Then came the 'gang chute.' Four men, each with .a little chute of hts own, went up with the balloon. A big bar like a wbiffietree was attached to the balloon. To this tbe chutes were tied in a r>w One by one they were droppeil safrly to the earth. The parachute jumper, as a rule, is not inclined to speculate bn his chances of getting back to eirth sifelyafter he has 'on-co startrd en thf» upward j"nraey; Being a rather philo sophic sort of fellow, he makes up his mind before adopting it as a steal? profession that it Is wrrse than idle to trouble himself about that pert of the work, Ifae nun who is quitting the eirth at such a pace is curiously enough the oa'y one who dorsn't compr hend thtv-iie is doing anything of the kind. Ah "he sits in his trapeze aud gsaes downward there .is no sensation of motion or of giddinos?. The earth is dropping away from him. Ks is sitting etili ■ • SUSPENDED FKOM HOTniNG. It is just as though he had gat himself in a high swing and dropped • broad ob ject downward. Tho spectacular part of the 180008100 is to be f >uud in tho icrcbitic feats white the outfit is 'mount ing heavenward. This is nerve-racking to the spectator, but not disconcerting to tbe performer. It must be remembered that-he feels--no sensation of tho rash through tho-air. To him everything appears stationary, save the earth, whi.h'is dropping away from him. if be holds by one baud he knows, though the crowd doesn't, that tho web bandage which gr'ps liitn by the wrist will grip him st'cure, and if he hangs head down ward, ho knows that a par of hoi sib could not pill! him -way from a traprza into the corners of which-he hasplatUcd his toes.

Then continue the Cherry Pectoral a few days until your throat and lungs have completely healed and all danger of future trouble is past.
