Women Who Was Hypnotised

By Gipsy

Gipsy With Green Eyes

Rome, Feb. 20.

Police are searching forest and wood- 'land round the little town of Novara, in northern Italy, for a Gipsy Woman With Green Eyes..

In the town to-night the door of every house is locked and bolted.

Shutters are

drawn across every window. Not a woman or child will venture out of doors.

The Gipsy with the Green Eyes had been seen in the town, begging from door to door, for some days.

HYSTERICAL CRIES

Then yesterday neighbours heard the sound of weeping inside the cottage where Signorn Riat Cravelli, aged fifty-five, lived alone.

They ran in and found the widow hysterical in a room where all the, drawers had been opened and their contents strown over the floor.

The policó were called, and between her sobs the widow told her story.

"The gipsy knocked at the door," the widow sald. "She had a baby in her arms. She was crying. She said the baby was hungry and Ill. So I gave them sume food..

"But the baby did not want to cnt, I then noticed the baby had very fair hair and a white skin. I was going to ask her about the baby, but she looked at me su strangely that I was afraid,

"She said, 'Have you any old clothes?' I wanted to any 'No,' but the gipsy was still staring at me. Her eyes were so green....it was terrible.

"I did not want to, but, I moved away from i her towards the bedroom and she followed me. Then she held out the baby and I took it. I did not know why. She emptied all the drawers and took a bag with my life savings. It was alt I had.

"She also took some of my nov linen. Then she took the baby nway from me and backed towards the door.

"I do not know how long sho was here. I cannot tell. It was terrible."

No sooner did the widow's story become known than many other complaints from women, who said

408 Deaths From Rabies In Year

Geneva, Mar. 26. Human and animal bites, in flicted on 118,062 persons, caused 408 deaths by rabies in 1933, a League of Nations study reveals. The jaws of 339 dogs, 16 jackals, IG wolves and two cats were mainly responsible, the investigation shows, Of 1,501 human bites, one death was recorded at K-snuli, India. Another death was caused by a deep bite in the arm by a cow. Several also hyena and leopard bites are noted. Diligent search through the report however fails to reveali any record of a man biting a dog. Somo 1,244 cases were reported in New York and 448 cases in Paris, with no deaths. Europeans and non-Europeans, necording to the statistics, were victims of rabics to an almost equal extent, but deaths among non-Europeans were about doublo those among Europeans.

PERILOUS FLIGHT IN GIANT BALLOON

Brussels, Mar. 31. ROFESSOR Auguste Piccard, the scientist, famous for his stratosphere flights, discuss- ed. to-day the details of his latest plan to reach the highest altitude aver attained by man. In a sealed gondols, attached to a specially constructed balloon: Professor Piccard aims at an ascent of 94,000 feet almost 18 miles above the earth's surface.

It will be one of the most hazar- dous undertakings ever attempted,

When the Professor tukes f from the ground the balloon will be filled only to one or two per cent. of its total capacity.

No wireless will be carried, so that weight can be reduced to af minimum.

The balloon will soar to an altitude of 94,000 feet in less than one hour, if all goes well, When a correspondent talked to

Piccard Professor

to-day in his little office close to Iaboratory of Brussels University, he was confident that he would succeed. But as a scien-

Two-thirds of the bites were deep and were most frequently inflicted on bare arms and legs, Thetist, he is well aware of the perils highest percentage of deaths re- that threaten his balloon, sulted, however, from head bites.

The report notes that ton methods of treatment were used and that 60 per cent, of the victims received prompt aid.-United Preas.

"When I made my first record ascent," he said, "It was to a height of 50,000 feet. At this al- titude the pressure is about one- tenth that of the atmosphere.

THE BRITTLE BOY

London, Mar. 26. Eight year old Kenneth Swartz, of Bath, otherwise quite #1 normal child, has exceedingly brittle legs."

he is now in hospital for the eleventh time with # broken leg, having spent 500 days there since 1932.

The Danger

It ja-probable thaten-this-at- tempt the balloon will encounter pressure only one-hundredth that of the atmosphere.

"That is why my balloon will be filled only to one or two per cent, enpacity. But there is danger in having a large balloon filled to so small a capacity.

"In the early stages of the ascent will be entirely at the mercy of the winds, and might be destroyed.

"I must have a great many men at my disposal, and they may have to be kept waiting for days for suitable weather conditions.

"A balloon about 200 feet in diameter, with a capacity 112.000 cubic metres, will be suflicient for my purpose.

"That compares, with capacity of only 1,400 cuble. metres in the first stratos- pheric balloon.

"As on previous flights, I shall have one passenger accompany- ing mo in the gondola.

"He will have to be light-not more than 10 stone. I have not yet made a definite choice.”

The cost of the flight, Professor Piccard said, will exceed $1,000.
