Poisonous Snakes,
Jagged Glass Bed
In Faster's Coffin
Lille. France, May 5 (U.R)
Indian Fakir Merinhdrah Bur
nish sealed himself in a glass
coifin today along with 100
poisonous snakes, settling down
half-naked on a bed of jagged
glass, and began an attempt to
break the world record for fast
ing. "I am convinced that by the
Joghu method of reducing the
heart beat I can stay without
food for 1,083 hours, or about
six weeks," he said.
The present record is 1,042
hours, set by an Englishman,
Kalph Worms.
The six-foot fakir, wearing a
white silk turban and black
silk pants, began his fast before
an audience of 150 in the main
hall of a cafe. First he smashed
a lot of bottles for his bed. Then
h took his snakes into the
glass coffin, crooning to them
and caressing them.
He said he will exist on two
to three pints of salt water a
day, piped through a special
tube, and on fivt packs of
French cigarets,
