The strange tricks Fate plays with the lives of men is illustrated by the recent case of diver who met bis death through drowning In cui or- dinary bath. The incident calls to mind the case of a sword-swallower who used to pel-form outside public- houses, thrusting a formidable blade several fuel long down his throat as ofton s his admiring audience re- quired him to do so. Yet this re- doubtable, sti-el-eater tiled from uf- focatlon as a result of swallowing a small fluh-bone. There is uu sw- count of n Spanish bull-fighter who had named considerate repute in one quarter of Spain only to receive a fatal kick from a young steer on the farm of one of hU friends. A simi- larly unlucky end was that of cir- cus perform ,>r whose particular feat was to plunge Into a pond, chained and manacled, and liberate hinvself before appeal-in* on the surface. While taking a bath one evening this performer took a dive into river and, becoming entangled in some, weeds, 'lost his life.
