The Secret of .Snake ('harming.
in India, the lavorite snake lor exhi
bition I the Cobra, partly became ol
lis mure striking apitearanoe, and part

pctr to the uninitiated public the more

their marvelousneast lor courage of a
high order, arising partl' from the win
tltlcnco aciiulicd by long practlc, l
manifested In selling and bagging the
dreadful ophidian.
lu mot cae the charmer renders
the reptiles harmless by drawing their
poison fang, and the exhibition then
liccomos morvlvonoof the snake's high
iy trained condition. On the other hand
it hapiHMi that the basket contain the
eritalile death-dealer, and a cohra

money Is suiiieieuiiy uoug, nut in
handling the creature when once e
Nied there Is no hesitation, for hesta

Ing and sudden release then I daring
of an exceptional kind.
A cobra strikes, when It ha really
made up Its mind to strike, with light
ning rapidity, and to dodge lightning
successfully 'require considerable ag.
ity
"The snako charmers, however, whrn
put on their mettle, rill grasp tho erect
cobra with Impunltj'. owing solely to
tlw suterlor speed of their movement,
for by a feint thev provoke the reptile
to strike, and before It can rn-oVer lt
attitude scire It Mow the laws.
In the same way the Ichneumon or
mongoose secure in contest with en
omous snake a comparative Immunity.
It wa for a long time an article of faith
with writers of popular works on nat
ural history, that this auliunl enjoyed a
complete Immunity, but sclentllic ex
periment has corriH-ted this fallacy, A
mongoose and cobra confined together,
fought freely, and though the latter
scorned tolheejeto strike the former
repeatedly, the mongoose, on Mug ex
amined after killing the sifhko, wa
found to be untouched Another cob
ra wa then brought iimiii tho scene,
and iHilug made to close It lang on
tho nuimar leg, the mongoose conies,

ing lii'ulMiut lour intitules.
It was thurcfuro- by It superior activ
ity alone that In a fair light with the
reptile It had escaped unhurt, and to
the same cause the snake charmer owe
the Immunity that attends his exhibi
tion. Hut, as lu the case of the tnon
gooe, the nake charmer, when actu
ally bitten, dies as rapidly as any other
creature, iiud In splUi of "all the powers
of his chat ins, root and snake-stone.
The Hindoo spectator refuses toMlcie
this, and enjoys, therefore, by his cre
dulity, a pleasure denied to more Intel
ligent audience, for If we could only
accept a truth the charmer's statement
that he has really been bitten, and that
tiie red drops on the bltlrn wit were
actually blood eui.ing from the fatal
puncture, and could then Mleve that
the root ho studied, the stones he ap
plied to the wound, and the charms lie
mutt'Tcd were veritably counteracting
the magic ol the cobra's poison, the
sjMH'iaclc. would be of surpassing In
terest, lnce it would Ik a miracle.
For the cobra' bite there Is no reme
dy except Instant amputation, and (he
snake charmer hlmelf knows this
well. A a mean of general ctirity
