TOOK LONG CHANCE
Moving Picture Star Risked Life
for Scene.
Jump From Moving Locomotive Is
Something That Frank Powell 10
by No Means Anxious
to Do Again.

Frank Powell, Pathe director, is tell
Ing Of some exciting times that he has
been having in connection with his pic
ture, "The Taint," which has just
been finished. He bought modern
locomotive for the sole purpose OF
turning it into scrap iron before his
cameras. Edward Jose, his leading
man, was to make his escape from pur-
suers by confiscating the engine, start
ing it and letting it run wild. Mr.. Jose
showed his nerve by asserting to this
decidedly ticklish venture, and Mr..
Powell and his camera man showed
theirs by standing on a small platform
only a very few feet away from where
the locomotive was to be ditched.
Everything went off smoothly at
the start. Mr.. Jose got the engine
started on it's wild career and just be-
fore it left the rails of the siding
where the accident was to take place
made the thrilling leap for life. The
number Of somersaults he took on the
steep bank would have been marvel
to a circus acrobat. When he picked
up his aching body he found that he
had left a good part of the skin of his
face upon the embankment. In the
meantime Mr.. Powell and the camera
man found their platform had been
placed dangerously near the derailing
point. The engine charged down up
on them like mad bull and landed
beside them in a roar of escaping
steam and a shower of earth and
stones. To the 5000 spectators it
looked as though the two men could
not escape, so when they emerged
from the cloud of steam cheer of
relief went up and everyone pressed
forward to extend their congratula-
tions.
Besides Mr.. Jose the cast includes
the well-known Ruby Hoffman,
Creighton Hale and Ben Hendricks.
1t is interesting to note that New Jer-
sey railroad made big feature of the
engine wrecking and ran excursion
trains to the scene.

Cure for Snake Bite

Many are the curious methods
adopted for curing snake bites, but
surely none can be more so than a
way Of which our Bhavnagar CORE
spondent informs us. Two natives in
village near that station were, he
says, brought back to life after being
bitten by cobra.
The victims were seated on the
ground and then held, while from a
height Of 16 feet gallons and gallons
Of hot water were poured on their
heads. Presently, according to the cor
respondent, the victims took a new
lease OF life," and are now as we'll as
though they had never been in the
jaws of death.
The explanation to this "cure" prob.
ably Is that the snake, as often hap.
pens, bit it's victims, but injected no
poison into them. Thus the men were
merely frightened, and continued to
be frightened until the pain caused by
the douche of hot water gave them
something else to think about.-Civj'
and Military Gazette.
