Whole World"

NORWAY. Me. March 1.-Evelyn
Chandler, the Swear daughter of
e H. Chandler, of this town, is a
snake charmer. She has a colony of
snakes to play with, and she studies
their habits and enjoys playing with
her strange pets as most girls of her
age enjoy their dolls. She has pre-
served five big snakes in formaline-the
water snake and field snake.
She also has several live ones" in
her room, which are kept in specially
arranged cages. She frequently opens
the cages and allows the reptiles to
crawl about the room at will.
Her father is an enthusiastic student
Of nature, and for the last three years
the precocious child has been his con-
slant companion and assistant in his
zoology work.

HUGE AUTO RACE-TRACk
Six Machines Can Run Abreast, and
the Turns Are Safe.

LONDON, March 1.-The great priv
ate autO race course, which is being
built at Weybridge in Surrey at the in
itiative of the English Auto club, is
nearly finished, and has proved a great
enterprise.
The race-track will allow six ma
chimes to run side by side, as the width
of the road is little more than 100
feet. The total length is three miles
and a half. The curves have been SO
constructed as to afford a safe turn for
machines going at full speed. More
than 100000 tons of earth had to be re-
moved from an excavation in order to
make the track level and bridge had
to be constructed over the River Wey
The grand stands will accommodate
many thousand spectators.

HIS LESE MAJESTE.
The Rough Old Admiral Who Dined
With the Kaiser.

WIN the NAJSeTs
A good story is being told in Berlin
Of the kaiser and an old admiral, who
is a fine old sea dog and an uncommon
good trencherman. The etiquette of
courts prescribes that when the sover-
eign has done eating the course has
to be removed, whether the rest of the
diners have finished Or not. Tie kaise'
was very fond of the rough old ad-
miral whose sea talk amused him i IL
mensely, and on one occasion when
the admiral was dining with the en-
peror a dish was served to which the
admiral was inordinately devoted. 1t
so happened that the emperor did not
care for it, and had very sooE finished.
The foOtman began to re move tne
plates, but the old admiral, who did
not mean to be baked of his favOrite
dish, raped the servant who tried to
take his plate over the fingers with
his fork and cried out, "Geschte veg"
much to the amusement of the emperor
and the rest of the guests, who were
bursting with laughter as this terrible
breach of etiquette.-London P. T. O..
