ANIMAL MESiMERISM
CIRCUS ARTIST'S ORDEAL.
(United Preas Association—Copyright.l (Australian-Now Zealand Cable Assn.) BEELIN, 3rd April.
A huge python, rejecting mesmerism, sank its fangs so deeply into the hand of Labero, a professional circus hypnotist, that one of the snake's teeth broke and stayed in his flesh. Labero, undaunted, continued to put crocodiles, hens, guineapigs, and rabbits to sleep. Ho easily conquered a boa constrictor, after which a big eaglo drove its beak into hjs wounded hand. Laboro peristed until the eaglo toppled unconscious, after which Labero faintod from loss of blood when about to attempt to mesmerise a lion.
