Secrets of Snake-CharminS.

A snake-charmer can, by simple
motion of his hand, make a moving
snake stop instantly. The reason is
this:
The snake is a most timid animal.
His eyes, while dull to color and form,
are quick to motion, especially if it
is rapid. If any large thing moves
very quickly too near him, he gets
frightened and scurries off; while at
certain distances the motion stops him,
if he be moving
He stops from establishment fear, or
the wish to see what it is that moves.
Hence he glides on, unconscious of the
charmer's presence near him so long
as the latter remains perfectly quiet;
the snake doesn't know him from a
tree or rock.
But when he gives sudden evidence
of life, the snake is astonished, and
Immediately remains stock still.
In India and Africa the charmers
pretend the snakes dance to the music,
but they do not, for they never hear
it. A snake has no external ears, and
perhaps gives evidence of sound only
through it's skin, when sound causes
bodies in contact with him to vibrate.
They hear also through the nerves of
the tongue, but do not at all compre-
bend sound as we do. However, The
snakes eyes are very much alive to the
motions of the charmer. or to the NOV
ing drumsticks of his confederate, and
being alarmed, he. attempts to strike.
A dancing cobra land no other
snakes dance) is simply a cobra alarm
ed and in posture of attack. He is
not dancing to the music, but is maxi
ing ready to asgail the charmer.

GREATNESS OF BISMARCK.

Is history the record Of movements

multitudes and shape the future OF ma

human greatnes, and all comparison OF
