FAMILY OF SNAKE CHARMERs
Women Have Peculiar Power Over
Reptiles Which the Ordinary
Person Holds in Dread.

Possibly nowhere else is the art of
snake charming brought to such a
pitch of perfection as at Mount Popa,
Upper Burma, India, and strangely
enough by women. Here two famous
sisters. whose fame is a bywoyd
throughout Burma. make their home.
AT special requests they will conde-
scend to bring their proteges down to
the towns for exhibition Of their skill,
but as rule they prefer the vicinity
of their mountain. This particular
family has carried on their profession
for many years past, keeping their
secret always within their own circle.
The snakes they use are the deadly
hamadryad or naia bungarus (naia
ophiohagus), the king cobra. The
task, possibly would not appeal to
many, as these reptiles are the most
dreaded of their kind, Measuring up
to - feet in length, they possess a
deadly poison In their fangs, and an
alarming speed. IT Is said of them,
also that they are the only snake who
will attack Il human being on sight
chasing him for miles until one or the
other is bound TO give in.
The snakes are fed on fowls, and
appear ameEabe and tame to handle
The origin of the family and their
work is probably unknown. lost Ii
the dim passages of years, but their
zeal is not one whit less today than
1t has been since the profession was
first heard of. How long they Will
continue to carry it on is a matter for
conjecture, but undoubtedly they stand
for one of Burma's chief curIosltles,
and mark for the enterprising tourist
who cares to scale the mystic heights
of Mount Popa.

Not until last night did Nazzaria re-
port She robbery. Then he was only
able to give meager description OF
parties involved to Detective Joseph

said to be responsible for the whole
affair.
According to the story told Detec-
tive Borphy, Nazzaria met young
Italian outside of saloon on Third
avenue, Watervlet, Friday night. This
man represented himself as a fore
man employed by large construct
ion company, and asked Nazzaria If he
desired a position. Nazzaria told him

him TO take short walk in order to
talk for the position in this section.
While taking this walk they met
another Italian, who was introduced to
Nazzaria.
1t was suggested that they come to
Troy. This they did. They visited
a cafe in the vicinity of the Union sta
ton, and later in the evening went to
the Calumet hotel. where they engag-
ed a room. They left the hotel at
1880 o'clock Saturday morning, and
after having breakfast Nazzaria took
the two strangers to the Manufacturers
bank, where he drew out his savings.
The two men then suggested they
walk to Prospect park and take a
seat After seating themselves on a
bench, Nazzaria states he felt drowsy
Iand fell asleep.
Awakening at 11.30 o'clock he found
his companions, as we'll as his money
gone. The police in cities in this
section have been furnished with a
description of the men.

R-34 BUILT TO USE
IN BOMBING BERLIN
Great DirisibIe Is e1o Feet Long and
Has Capacity of 100000 Cubic
Fee. OF Gas.

New York, July 7.-The R-34 is
about $40 feet long, with beam of
about 70 feet and from the top of her
cigar shaped gas bag to the lowest
point of her five gondolas she meas
ures about 80 feet. The capacity of
her gas bag is about 100000 cubic
feet. A sister dirigible is the R-S3.
The two airships were built originally
to bomb Berlin and other German
cities. The two vessels are the largest
dirigibles in the world, as long from
end to end as the ocean steamship Ad-
ratio.
Under her cigar shaped bag the
R-34 has five gondolas to carry the
members of the crew and the motors
to furnish power. The forward gon-
dola is for the use of the commander
and the navigator and also carries the
radio instruments. The FIVE motors
are of the Sunbeam Maori type, of
about $50 horse power, and with $500
revolutions enable the airship to
make 40 miles an hour under favor
able conditions.
All the gondolas are inclosed by
glass and are connected by a huge
platform so that the commander and
the members of the crew may pass
easily from one gondola to the others.
The gondolas are equipped with cook
ing apparatus so that hot meals may
be prepared for the thirty members
Of the crew.
When the war apparatus was strip
ped from the vessel six extra gasoline
tanks were added and il was estimat-
ed that this gave the dirigible cruis-
ing radius of about 5000 miles
Changes made her total freight and
fuel capacity about twenty-one tons,
the weight of the balloon itself and
the other equipment amounting to
about thirty tons.
Shortly before tho signing of the
armistice the British Air Ministry
called into conference some of the
best aerial experts among the Allies
and announced that it had been decid-
ed to build lighter-than-air bombing
machines, larger even than the Ger
mans had sent over London II was
reported unoliicially at the time that
some of the ideas for the super-dirigi-
bles were to be taken from .one Of the
Zeppelins that had been brought
down in flames near London while on
4 bombing raid
Although the war ended while
work was being carried on in the con
struction OF one of the dirigibes, or
ders for the speedy construction of
the twin aircraft were not Cancelled.

station where it rolled over an en-
bankment into the ditch, overturned
and pinned the occupants underneath.
The machine caught fire almost in

LOCAL BUSINESS
MAN HELD UP AND
ROBBED OF s275
Frank SomerviIle, Cigar Store
Owner the Victim
ONE RoBBER IN UNIFORM
Two Hishwaymen Lay in Wait on Elm
Street and Make Quick Job
Still at Large

Frank Somerville, proprietor of the
cigar store on North sreet, near La
Fortunes restaurant, was held up by
two highwaymen on his way home
Saturday night and relieved of nearly
$275. The men have not been appre-
hended as yet, but all possible efforts
are being made to bring them to JUS
tice.
Mr. Somerville. left his store shortly
before one o'clock Sunday morning
and started for his home on Putnam
street. He had with him nunusual-
ly large sum of money, a fact which
must have been known by the men
who lay in wait for him. AS he went
up Elm street and reached the top
of the hill opposite the nome of Har-
rison /. Norton two men stepped out
of the darkness just at the entrance of
the COW pasture owned by DIR. f. S.
Pratt. One of the men who was wear
ing soldiers uniform stepped in
front of Mr. SomervilIe and pressed
two reyolvers against him, requesting
him to put up his hands.
The other man who was dressed in
a dark suit stood in back of Mr..
Somerville and relieved him of his
roll The victim of the robbery was
then told to cross the street with his
hands up and proceed to his home.
The robbers then made their get.
away.
Neither of the hold-up men wore
masks, but had soft hats pulled down
over their eyes. Mr. Somerville says
that he could recognize the man in
uniform should he see him again.
The other man was more timid, at
first hesitating to come out to the
sidewalk and taking pains all of the
time to keep from being observed
1t is quite evident that the hold-up
was carried out by local men who
knew that Mr. SomerviIle carried a
considerable amount of money with
him and that he was in the habit OF
going home along Elm street. 1t is
particularly dark just at the spot
where the robbery occurred and any;
one held up at that place would have
no alternative but to give up his val
uables.
There are several ways of tracing
the hold-up men and the local author
tiles are exerting all possible means
to bring them to court
The fact that the street lights were
put out of commission by the thunder
storm facilitated the job.

Columbus, The motion picture of
the Willard Dempsey fight taken at

in Toledo Friday, was completely re-

chairman of the Ohio board of NOV

the only member of the board of three

night that it was entirely possible
that she will reject the picture. The
