WALK IN FIRE

ENGLISHMEN TO

Indian Magic With a Trench of Flame FIVE ox-public school boys have volunteered to do a

"fire-walk" under the protection of a 24-year-old Indian, Ahmed Hussain. It will take place in Surrey next month.

Hussain claims to be able to take any number of people through the fire unscathed. He has also stated that he will roll the width of the fire clad only in a loin- cloth, and will lay a linen cloth on the coals and remove it unscorched.

The entire ceremony will be televised,

"Dozens of people have offered to accompany Hussain, but we are considering only those who combine fine physical condition | Mr. Harry Price, honorary with education and intelligence," secretary of the University of London Council for Psychical Research, told a London reporter recently.

to try the walk.

Special Instruments are being made in a Cambridge laboratory for measuring the body and surface heat of the fire. The maximum tempera-

ther about 1,100 lure .will be Centigrade (steel melts at 1,371 deg. Centigrade).

20FT. TRENCH

To measure this an opilent pyro- meter will be used. When properly. focused it records the reflected heat by the melting of a flament,

The fire will be the biggest ever made for the purpose. In a trench 20ft. by 4ft. and 16in. deep will be laid one ton of pine packing coses, 50 newspapers, 10 gallons of paraffin, 8 tons of oak logs and i ton of forest burnt oak-charcoal.

These will burn for eight hours before the walk. Then the ashes will be blown off.
