SNAKE CHARMING.
Tricks OF the Hindoo Fakirs In Hand

The exhibition of the East Indian IA.
kirs, during which the deadly cobra -

have created n popular impression that
these creatures are extremely sensitive

son says that demonstrations Of this
character are only tricks on the part
Of the clever Ilindoo. and the cobra, IN.

cinated condition as il waves its body to
and fro. Is really in az OF intense an.
ger. The trick is simple. Whenever
the reptile Is annoyed II has the habit
Of elevating the forward part OF the
body from the ground, spreading it's
neck or hood and glaring fercely at the
object of Its anger. II Is then watching
for a chance 10 deliver deadly blox,
observing every movement of the object
In front of II. II one moves, no matter
how slightly. there il a corresponding
nervous movement OF the snake. When
the Hindoo opens his snake baskets the
cobras rise naturally 10 their position
OF attack. lie commands them TO dance,
and ut the same time begins lively
tune on the flute. swaying his body
from side to side in time TO the music.
The excited cobras follow every motion
Of the supposed charmer. They are not
dancing to the music. but, intensely an.
gered, are seeking TO revenge them
selves on their captor. The handling OF
giant bOas and pythons, as seen In cir
cuseS. IL still more simple. These huge
snakes are usually lazy and sleepy. and
the secret of handling them Is 20 avoid
anything like nervous movement. II
they are taken up gently. but without

not the slightest danger OF arouEing

The Expert Witness.

One of the besetting sins of the. expert
witness is the habit or tendency TO use a
lot of Latin words in describing an injury
to the jury, says the Albany Law Journal.
In some exceptional cases, doubtless, this
is done without affectation or for a pur-
pose, but we have no hesitation in saying
that in the majority of instances il is a
very good index of the learning and ca
pacity of the expert, on the assumption
that the more words of this sort are used.
the more probability there is that they
cover a deficiency of knowledge and thor
ough grounding on the part of the user. A
really able man in his profession will al
ways accommodate himself to crcum-
stances, and realizing the capacity OF the
average juror, use very different forms and
methods of expression in testifying before
court and jury than if he were making an
address or delivering a paper on some
scientific subject before an audience of his
professional brethren.
A physician, for example who, when up
on the stand, is asked to describe some
thing TO the jury, uses all the high-sound-
ing terms and expressions he can muster.
deserves to have very little attention paid
to his testirhony-and usually gets mis- de
serts. An amusing example of this truth
is given in the following account of an
actual happening in an English court. 1t
Advocacy" published first in England:
81 discovered considerable ecchymosis

ton of blood beneath the cuticle" said a
young house surgeon in a case of assault
at the assiZes.
Baron Bramwell-I suppose you mean the
man had a black eye?
Scientific Witness-Precisely my lord
Baron Bramwell-Perhaps if you had
said so in plain English, those gentlemen
would better understand you.
"Precisely, my lord answered the
| learned surgeon evidently delighted that
the judge understood his meaning.
This incident which might be paraleled
many times in court in this country, car
ries its own comment What the jury
wants is to be enlightened on disputed
| points, and the way to do this is not to use
| purely technical expressions, but to ex-
| plain in plain, homely language. There is
no danger that in doing this the expert
| will be liable to detract from the genera
| estimate of his own abilities, but rather
! the reverse will be the case.
