A Fir and Water TrlHc That la Pretty Hard to Explain and an Ap parent Display of Strenetn Tbat Passes Understanding. The question of how the- fakirs of India perform their wonderful tricks Is a matter that has for centuries interest ed scientists, and the best explanation that has yet been offered of the matter Is that.it Is doiie by hypnotic power) that is, that the fakirs simply hypno tize the entire audience and make them think thut they saw trees grow uutxjfH the ground in a second. Libraries have been written on the subject In his book entitled "Quaint Corners of An dent Empires" Mr. Michael Meyers Shoemaker deals in an interesting manner with the Indian fakirs. In writing about the fakirs he Says: "The statement has been made by such. prestidigitators as Herrmann and Kel lar that they had never seen any tricks by these men of India which they could not explain., Be that as it may. these common street" magicians of In dia do some very clever tilings. "Certainly the performance before the Gland hotel. Colombo, this morn ing, under the blazlug sunlight and not three feet from the looker on was re markable. As to the mango tree trick, there appeared a strong resemblance between a tree grown yesterday and the one produced this morning. But it W03 In the other performances that the observers were most interested. "In one Instance the fakir took a small jar; of metal and handed it around to show that It was empty, Then, placing a copper coin between his teeth, he began to blow, and smoke soon issued from his mouth and nos trils. The jar, which was held aloft all the time, was found filled with wa ter, which commenced to boll furiously. "Passing It aside, 1 he opened his mouth and ejected jets of living flame. Indeed the whole cavity of the throat appeared to be filled with fire, which ignited anything wltli which it came fn contact. We all saw the empty jar. the filled jar.tfhe boiling water and the fire, but the fire never approached the "Another trick consisted In causing a dead- and dried up cobra to come to life, or so it appeared. The snake Is usually kept In a small, round, flat basket with a closely fitting cover. This we saw; was empty, and lnt it the fakir laid the flat dried skin of a dead serpent. "I'lacing it not tnree reet from our circle hnd In the brilliant light of the southern sun, he covered the basket with its lid and then made the usual passes with the Inevitable cloth, about a yard square, which he held by two corners to show that it contained notn ing. v. .--' v.'. :.;-.', .. ,.';. -. - uis costume consisted or one gar ment of the shirt order, the sleeves of which were tucked up at the shoulders, affording. It would seem, scant oppor tunity to hide anything, yet when, after a few waves of the cloth, he removed the lid of the basket the dead snake was gone and 14 its place rose the ma jestic head and neck of one of the lar gest of cobras. , "It must be remembered that when we see such work In England or Amer ica It Is done at a distance and on the stage, with all the assistance of stage lights and shadows, but In this case we were out in -the plain air and near enough for the serpent to have stung US.

At the ends of these cords were hollow brass cups about the size of nu acorn. The fakir, raising the upper lid of each of his eyes, in serted these cups thereunder, with the j hollow side next to the eyeball, after which h pulled the eyelids well down. "Then, with bauds on hips and head well back, he arose to his full height. lifting the boy n foot or more oT the ground and swinging him from side to aide, the entire weight of course falling upon the brass cups.
