Or all persons in the world there is
none with a calling more weird than
that of the snake charmer of India
Our picture today shows two of these
Hindus sitting by tie roadside, while
their peculiar pets. tho snakes. sport
before them for the amusement of the
passers-by. The serpentS shown in the
picture are the terrible cobra-di-ca-
pellOs, or hooded snakes. of the East
In their native state they are deadly
creatures, but the jugglerS, before
handling them, first extract their
fangs. Then they teach them to dance
and keep time to music. In some of
the Hindu temples the cobra is an
object of worship, being carefully fed
with milk and sugar by the priests.
The natives have many SuperstitiOnS
about this snake, and even believe that
the Deity sometimes assumes that
form. When kindly treated the cobra
becomes quite tame.
Music has a special attraction for
the cobra, and he will often come from
his hiding place when a flagolet or
flute is played in his hearing. When
house becomes infested with the ser
penis the snake charmer comes into
use He plays his fageolet, and the
serpents come forth and are killed.

When one considers the general plan
for the proposed illumination OF the

of the great success that is to be at

ton OF light and decorative effect, By

many units as possible and still keep
