GREAT FEAT OF INDIAN FAKIR.
Sustained Weight of Boy Attached to
His Eyelids.

Recently an Indian fakir appeared
at circus in Berlin, where he aston
ished the audience by lifting a boy
with his eyelids. The boy made him
self as small as possible, and was put
into a net to which was secured a
string that was provided on each end
with a little cup just large enough to
fit over the eye. The fakir pressed
these little cups over his eyes, where
they held fast, then threw his head
back and slowly Strengthened his body,
thus lifting his burden, which he then
carried about-his arms being out
stretched all the time-and finally
lowered it slowly to the ground again.
How is it possible for any man to DO
this? The only explanation is that
the cups were fitted into the eye
sockets so that they held on the
edges of the sockets, but it is not like
ly that the trick will be initiated by
even those prestidigitators who con-
slider themselves very expert.
