in some arsenic works near Salz
burg, the only moa who can stand the
work for any time are those who
swallow daily doses of the arsenic,the'
fumes, &c., soon killing the others.—
The director of these works sent me
the following particulars of his own
case:
"At seventeen years of age, while
studying assaying, I had much to do
with arsenic, and advisCd by my
teacher, M.-Bonsch,professor of chem
istry and.mineralogy at Eislcbe i pi. to
begin the. habit of arsenic eating. I
quote the 'precise words ho addressed
to me: "If you wish to continue the

were.precisely the same, ant
would certainly have ensiled had I
not resumed arsenic- eating." One of
the most remarkable points in this
narrative is, that.this gentleman be

of-which I have been able to -obtain
such full particulars, but several oth
ers have' been mentioned tCy ihe by
those'who know the parties- and can
voneh-for the truth:
ARA , I3. SERPENT .CICARKERS
These performers consisted of seven
i Beni-,Schicidad Arabs from _Ainad, a
town lying one hundred and three
i leagues to the, east of Karel). Six- of
1 them wertvplaying upon ; : utes when
i we came-up; but, on being requested
1 by Abd-Bekrel-Doani to exhibit their
1 serpenta to us, they consented with
alacrity.
1 Having made their arrangements,
1 all'seven -commenced by - putting up
their hands as if holding books, while
they murmured in concert a prayer
addressed to Mohler Asser, the - patron
of snak.e-charmers. This invocation
finished, the six musicians took their
flutes and began to-plar—the chief
charmer spinning great veloci
ty, in a land of wild danceiround the
palm-lei& basket covered with goat
skin, in which the reptiles were.kept.
Suddenly the dancer stopped, and,
I Phingie , his band into the basket,
drew out of it an asp, -or buBka, which
be whirled about, twining and untwin-
I ing it until it looked like a braid of
greenish-vellow silk. He then wreathL
-
ed the serpent round his head, like a
1 tAriiik, dancing all the, ;time, while
the reptilii , remain 'Where he had
I placed it, appearing to accommodate
i itself to the movements and will of
, the danaer.
The asp, then placed upon the
ground *cilia which it reared itself
perpondieigarly—the position of at
tack taken by it when its haunts are
inyaded—wating its body from•right
to left, in time with the ro.asie of the
flutes. . 1
Then the dancer, wbeeliirg - usore
amt in',:diminishing cir
cles, again plunged his band into the
basket; and again drew from it suc
eessiyqly fOuriforned vipers, or leaaa.
These reptiles, livelier and less docile
than the:46p, kept themselves half
coiled, with - their heads slanting for
ward, ready to strike;as they follow
ed, witligleaming eyes, the , motions
of the charirtin en,wherat•they•dart
ed, with' open jaws, when Itili' .- earne
within ;reach, launching their bodieit
with Wdilderful svriftness, while their
tails appetu`dd as fixed to the ground,
and then again winding themselves
into coils,
The dancer parried, with .his ab
baye, tbeie assaults upon his bare
legs, the vipers appearing to improg
nate the garment with tileir . venom.
.Ho then seized one of them behind
the head, 4Aneing round and round,
andeallfng'in a loud voice upon his ,
patron saint. ; •••• .
Opening the powerful, elastic jaws
of: thereptile with a.stick, he•showed
us its fangs, from which- oozed a *lift,
ish, oily substante. Then he held his
arm near the snake,Which struck him
immediately, updn which heredoelited
his contdftions,, as if in an agony of
pain, calling aftthe time upon Sidnb.
Aisser, the reptili , 4lll, continuing to
strike, until he withdrew liis arm and
sbocied un the, blood trickling from it.
Replacing the yiper ofn th.e.grenad,
tbe charmer now applied his kbps" to
the wound, sqtreezing it between his
teeth, and still keeping up hisedipice,
while the flutes went faster andateter,
until at length he stopped fromiheer
exhaiistation.
