Surya Prakas Ras, writing in the Hindoo Spiritual Magazine, says that the impossible becomes possible to the man who has practised steady gaze! A French peasant, he asserts, was able to kill small birds by steadily looking at them. But the most striking story is that of |an opera singer who, under the Second Empire, was a great favorite with the ! public. Although he was a man of small intellect, he had a wonderful voice, and ian eye which slew. One of his greatest t successes was bis rendering .of the ; "Cure" aria in an opera called "King I Charles VI." During the singing of this aria, if his eye if ell .-accidentally upon any ' one in the audience or on the stage, that person died. After he had killed a scene shifter, the leader of the orchestra, and an unfortunate merchant from Marseilles, the opera was excluded from the repertoire. Trained falcons, to carry despatches in time of war, hay* been tested in the Russian army. Their speed is four times as rapid as that of carrier pigeons.
