Then the soles and the skin ibetween the toes are painted with equal parts of 35 percent formaldehyde (the commercial formaldehyde) and distilled water.

The effect is prompt and lasts for four to six weeks, when the application should be re- peaied." - wire, another daring human being a i Blondin’s Feat (A.

Gone is th- generatlon which it ihrillkd, bu‘. ' the Niagara. guides judged righ-l, that the story Of it would fnteres and thrill their audiences if tofu with reference to the 78th anniver- sary of the amazing feat which oc- cun-ed on August 19. Scores of people fainted on that date in the year 1859 as they saw a man, carrying another on his back. starting to walk tightrope across Niagara's brink. ' Nobody knows who began the custom of going to Niagara Falls on s. honeymoon; such is the world's careless disregard of the beautiful and ideal. But. iihere is 11o question as to who stair-ted us- ing the mighty cataract as a back- "zround for the “take a chance and win fame" business. His name Jean Francois Gra- vclet. a Frenchman who was knownl .1n the stage and in the circvs as »Charles Blondiif. His forte was, tightrope walking. He claimed w have crossed the falls via tightrope diree hundred times. but t-h: of- iiclal records speak only of three times. Be that as it may, he was the first. His initial ci-o-sing, three nundred feet above the brink. was just, simply going over 0n a wire. The second time he gave himself a few difficulties by putting each foot in a bucket and blindfolding his eyes. j m; manager then decided to g0 the limit to attract crowds. He smeared the countryside wit-h areal,- poste-rs saying that the fearless- one-and-only Charles Blondln, tightrope walker of tightrope walk- ers, would cro=s ilhe might/y falls on a thin tight/nape. A single slip, the slightest. mis- calculation, a moment-‘s hesitation the least misjudgment and so on and so on. would plunge him toin- stant and horrible death in the raging, foaming waters hundreds of feet below. And ladle; and gen- tlemen. Blondin will cam! 0n his back as he crosses this dangerous‘ Crowds came to witness the stunt. A bonus was offered to any- one who wmild let Blondiln can-y him over- the brink on his back. There were no volunteers. Blondin tumed to his manager: "You're elected," i119 said. “Clin-i‘) up!" "Who me?" the manaaw scream- ed, and started to rim. Blondiri, l big, powerful man. Famed 111m- "You promised these people I would carry 1; passenger across tzhe rope on my back, didnt 3'0"?"

He clung, convulsively to the tightrope walker as Blondin, balancing and feeling 111s way, began his lowng and dan- gerous walk. The weight. told on Blonclin. and half way across he stopped. "You'll have to get. down,“ he told his manager. ‘Iihe manager screamed "Gel, down ou- we both go over." Blondin threatened him.
