Men Who Plertf llie >ki*-s Kfarleml.v < MM- | not l.ook Owr tin* KIIK*' of uu Oi*tlitmr> Huildliitf Without Terror—'Trouble l*n«- Jo Sttlf'CoilHtlwUAUCSS. "Few men or women who sail up to , the skies in balloons with entire r—ar lessness could stand on the lertge of .t third story window without experi , encing that faintness and nausea which terror inspires or feeling; an almost ir resistible desire to llins themselves headlong to the pavement below." s.iiil the old aeronaut. "Why is it thus?" 1 asked iu sur prise. "it is, I think," returned lie. •"dm; entirely to the fact of self-conscious i ness. Balloonists are all more or less self-conscious. It is that way with every person who is favored with con stant public notice or with supersensi tive, highly cultivated or intellectual folk. In close proximity to their ret low men and things of earth their sen sibility to surroundings is invariably acute. There are few of such persons who could walk along the edge of a tall building or who could peer down from the brink of a precipice withont suf fering vertigo and that strange hysteric impulse to jump off. This is because they are too thoroughly aware of their own personalities, or, in other words, because they are always thinking of I hemselves. "Now, a person who is not self ion- j scions may parade up and down on the tops of cliffs, climb steeples or clinfj to the ridge of a skyscraping building without the slightest degree of fear or inconvenience. His sensibilities are blunted: he is not sufficiently imbued I with the idea of his own personal i worth to heed the perils and discom forts of a lofty position. But put that I same individual into a balloon and ' send hint up into the sky for a couple of ruiles and, most paradoxically, lie at once becomes nervous, restless and eventually evinces the liveliest fear He is liable to become sick and faint, and manifests all those disorders com mon to the self-conscious man at an eminence of a hundred feet or so. "The latter, however, the moment you get him a thousand feet above the earth, the moment all familiar objects begin to recede from his view, loses all fear and tendency to vertiginous dis turbances. A strange exhilaration possesses him, and likewise an impulse to dare and do. If there be a trapeze ; attached to the balloon lie wants to climb down and swing in it. "That is why professional aeronauts ascend to great heights and swoop 1 down to earth by means of the para- j ! chute. They have lost all conscious- j ness of themselves among the clouds, ! and boldly trust themselves to the by- > pothetical safety of the big umbrellas j without a tremor of fear. Yet I ven- j ture to say not one of these profession- I als would trust himself to leap from a I building 150 feet high with a para ' chute. 1 doubt if many of them at j such a height could be persuaded even | to venture close enough to the edge to i peer into the street." A Trick riiotnKi-H|>li. A correspondent sends a very re- I markable photograph. If held upright it looks exactly as if a man were stand ing on the side of the house, and view- j I ed iu the ordinary way it appears as if j he were projecting from the wall of the house, without any visible means of support, as the police say about the tramps, it might even do tor an "ani- THK THICK IMIOTOI.Ii t I'M. mal magnetism" photograph. The ex planation is quite startlingly simple. The young man is merely lying on a scaffold pole stuck through the wall. Paper Floor*. Now we have paptu' floors. An ini portant advantage of paper floors con sists in the absence of joints or seams, whereby an accumulation of dust, ver min and fungi is done away with. These new paper floors are bad conduc tors of heat or sound, and have a soft feeling to the foot. The costs are con siderably lower than of hardwood doors, the paper mass is shipped in bags in powder form, with a small ad dition of cement as a binder. It is stirred into a stiff paste, spread out on the floor, pressed down by means of rollers, and painted the oak wood or mahognay color, after drying. To 111 Out n( Court.
