ABOUT BALLOON! NT,.
SOME CURIOUS FACTS RELATED BY AN
OLD AERONAUT.
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.

"What was the heaviest fee you ever
got?" asked the pert young lawyer of
the Nestor of the bar.
"A yearling calf and a load of punip
i kins; aggregate weight a ton and a
quarter."

It is said that many people in Maine
are so offended at the advertisements
painted on boards and barns along the
country roads that they refuse to deal
with firms which so advertise.
