MUSIC AS A LURE.
The Way the Deadly Cobra II Cap-
turcd In India.

The Way the Deadly Cobra IN Cap
turcd In India.
The death dealing cobra is passion
ately fond of music, and it is through
this means that its capture is often ac-
complished. The men in India who
can effect the capture Of this deadly
reptile must be possessed of remark
able skill or their lives are the forfeit
When a cobra takes up its abode in the
neighborhood Of a dwelling house 1t Is
customary to send for the professional
snake charmers. One Of them strikes
up a tune near the place where the
snake is supposed TO be located. No
matter what the creature may be do
ing, 1t is at once attracted by the sound
of music. 1t emerges slowly from its
hiding place aud strikes an attitude in
front Of the performer. There 1t is
kept engaged with the music while the
other man creeps up behind with a
handful Of dust. At a convenient mo
ment, when the cobra is standing mo-
tionless, this man suddenly throws the
dust over the head and eyes of the
snake. Immediately the cobra falls its
length upon the ground and remains
there for one short second, but the sec
ond is enough. With a movement like
lightning the man selzes the body Of
the PROSTATE serpent just below the
head. In great anger the cobra winds
itself round and round the arm of its
caDtOr but to no purpose, for 1t cannot
turn its head and bite. If the fangs are
to be extracted at once the captor
presses his thumb on the throat of the
cobra and thus compels it to open its
mouth. The fangs are then drawn
with pair of pinchers. If, however, he
wishes to keep the snake intact for the
present the musician comes to help
him and forcibly unwinds the coils and
places the body in basket, all but the
head, which is firmly held by the other
man. He presses down the lid to pre-
vent the cobra from escaping, and sud
denly the captor thrusts the head in
and bangs the lid.
A very expert performer can capture
the snake single handed, though 4"
highly dangerous. While playing with
one hand he throws the dust sideways
with the other and captures the snake
| with the same hand. The whole action
must be like flash of lightning, for Il
half seconds delay or the merest bun
Cling in throwing the dust or catching
the snake would prove fatal to the
operator.

years salary I'm any case. In addition
to these matters, the suits against
West Chester, Downingtown and
Coatesville, for polluting the Brandy
wine, viii require the services Of n
stenographer for a long period of time.
Incidental to the construction of the,
proposed reservoir and filtration plant
will be the drawing of numerous con-
tracts. This work must necessarily
be done by a stenographer. The work
of the Street and Sewer Department
Water Department and the Board of
Health, which / have to perform. also
requires a considerable amount Of
stenographic work. For the informa- -
ton of the members of Council who
have to vote on this proposition, L
have written to the city solicitors Of
all the cities east of the Mississippi
river which have populations ranging
from $4,000 to 100000, making inquir-
les Of them concerning the salaries of
their respective city solicitors, and
whether or not these officials are al
lowed for the services Of a stenog-
rapher
The solicitor then quotes replies
from Dayton. Ohio; Albany, n. "
Cambridge, Mass. Atlanta; Troy. N.
" Lowell. Mass; Lynn, Mass; Yon-
kers. n. y; Utica, n. Y; Syracuse,
n. Y; Wilkesbarre and Omaha.
He continues: by comparison Of
the before mentioned cities with our
own it will be seen that the provision
made for the city solicitor of Will
mington is considerably less than is
made for any city east of the Mis-
sissippi river with a population of
from 10000 to 100000 people. Yon-
lxers, n. Y, which has but a trhe
more than one-half of our population,
lallows S77OO and the right to secure
additional counsel and addition
/ al stenographers. During Mr.. Con-
RAIDS incumbency of the office OF
I city solicitor and during Mr. Har-
mans first term, the city solicitor was
ALLOWED a stenographer who received a
salary Of $500 a year. That was be-
tween 1895 and 1900. The work at
I the present time is probably double
what it was then. While the ordinance
was repealed during Mr.. Conrads ad-
iministration, yet his assistant city So
llicitor was also a stenographer and
acted in that capacity for him. There
are various other reasons that could
advance to sshow the necessity for the
passage of the ordinance, but 1 deem
the reasons herein set forth should
be sufficient and / hope that the or
dinance will meet with your APPROX
al and that the same may be passed
by a unanimous vote"
! Some action in the matter may be
taken next week.
