Article Title and/or Image Caption: A Boy's Dirigible Balloon with Parachute
extracted text: A WESTERN novelty manufacturer offers a toy balloon consisting of a six-and-a-half-foot bag of strong tissue paper, two inflating cartridges, one tissue parachute with a cardboard dummy, two sets of time-fuse, and directions for the use of the toy. To send up the balloon, the bag is first loosened, then the lighted inflater is inserted in the bag. Before burning itself out, the inflater will carry the balloon to a considerable height.

The parachute is attached to the balloon by a time-fuse, which will burn when the inflater is burned out, thereby releasing the parachute with the dummy. The balloon may be recaptured and sent up again with the extra inflater.
