BOLD AERONAUTS WHO MAKE WHAT IS CALLED THE "COLD CUT." MOW IT FEELS TWO THOUSAND FEET FROM TERRA FIRMA. So loag as the love of money finds a lodging place in the breast of man kind there will not be lacking those who are willing to risk both life aad limb in the attempt to rapidly ac cumulate the "root of all evil." This remark, by way of preface, is inspired by the recent Edenton Fair, upon which occasion, Prof. F. L. Thompson, an Aeronaut, made two balloon ascensions and parachute leaps, which feature was one of the principal one by many people who had never before had the priviledge of witnessing such a spectacle. Of late years aeronaulism has be come quite popular with daring men who seek fame and fortune. The last decade has broaght out many professionals who make a business of taking trips to the clouds, and they are not confined to the sterner sex, either, for many of the most sue cessfnl and famous aeronauts in this country being females. Despite the accompanying dangers, these pro fessional! are becoming more num erous year by year. An aeronaut rau9t necessarily take hU life in his hands every time he makes an ascension. From the time he waves farewell to the spectators until t he again sets foot on terra firm a he is constantly beset by clan gers seen and unseen. The man who mukes an ascension must be a nervey fellow, who is not liable to eatily loose his presence of mind. Tke aeronauts of the present day are gifted with this quality in various degrees, and the amount they pos - seas may generally be determined by the manner in which they go about making the leap after the balloon has attained a height of two or three thousand feet. or instance, the , boldest and most nervy make the 'cold cut," as it is termed. What is a oold cut? It is a leap directly from the balloon while it is yet going up. An ordinary balloon will hold 150,680 cubit feet of air. and, with an ordinary man aboard, will rise to a hdight of from S.500 to 5.000 feet. Then it begins to flatten and descend. At the same time the narachnte will fill, and when itiscnt r . loose the aeronaut experiences no .sensation in leaping. But in the 'cold cut one drops fully one hundred feet before his Uurachute Smallest Sair Throws a Shadow." N. C, FRIDAY, Novmeber 20, 1891. takes air and begins to open, can readily see the difference. You No matter how many rehearsals he may have had there are three periods when a young aeronaut experiences real fear when his knees come to gather in spite of his exertions to keep them apart and when his heart seeks a lodgement in his throat. The first of these is the night before he is to make his first public ascension. The second is when he hears the man inside the balloon tell his companion to put on the cover, meaning that the bag is sufficiently inflated. A mo ment later he is being jerked sky ward. The other point of terror is when he decides to cut loose and begins to pick out a good place to land. As a man sits there looking up into the mouth of the balloon forty feet above him, tbn at the little para chute, which may or may not work all right, he begins to get cold, and as a role he cuts loose right then. Otherwise he would not have the nerve left to do it.J There is one curious feature of ballooning. After the aeronaut has left the ground he never feels a breeze He can breathe all right, but the air seems dead. This is because he i traveling along r with the currant of air instead of opposing it. EDENTON FAIR. ITS THIRD EXHIBITION. Four Days of Amusement, Speech by the Governor, Balloou Ascen sion, Fine Bacing. Ac. &c. The Edenton Fair was, decidedly, a grand success, and we belie. -e it is universally aid to be the largest and best ever held in the First Dis trict. The attendance was indeed large, and the attractions immense. Tuesday, the first day, the gates were thrown open at about 9 o'clock. 'and large crowd entered. At about j0ne hour later the Edenton Silver ' Cornet Band entered, rilling the a ir j with swat musical echoes, to the i v and de.ight of all present. In the. afternoon races were announced, which consumed the balance day. of the Wednesday, the seeond day, was one of the best and mostly enjoyed.
