TRYING ORDEAL.
MESMERISM UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. BERLIN, April 2. A huge python, rejecting mesmerism, sank its fangs so deep into the hand of Labero, a professional circus hypnotist, that one of the snake’s teeth broke and stayed in the flesh. Labero, undaunted, continued to put crocodiles, hens, guinea pigs- and rabbits to sleep; He easily conquei’ed a boa constrictor, after which a big eagle drove its beak into his wounded hand. Labero persisted until the eagle toppled over unconscious, after which Ldbero fainted from loss of blood when about to attempt to mesmerise a lion.
