SNAKE STORY FROM ABROAD
Nature Faker" Story That Will Test
the Credulity of the Most Pro-
found Geologist.

London, England.-GCod snake sto-
ries are rare, but the Roumanian dis
tricts of Hungary are responsible for
the best. A telegram has just been re-
ceived from Mehadia by a Budapest
scientist, affirming the honesty of the
Hungarian viper. Away among the
Wallachs in this quiet and quaint lit
tie township lives a schoolmaster
named Juon POpescu, whose daughter
is the heroine of the story.
1t appears that every morning the
schoOlmasters wife placed her little
daughter in the court garden whilst
she busted herself with the duties of
the house and for her consolation a
cup of milk was placed beside the
child.
Children, as a rule, are not afraid of
animals or reptiles, and the more
harmful such are reputed to be the less
harm is realized. One morning a viper
wriggled its way to the child, who sat
amusing herself there, but instead of
attacking the child, contented itself
with drinking the cup of milk This
amused the little girl, and after a day
or so the two became quite friendly
and every morning the viper appeared
for it's drink of milk.
Finishing her work rather earlier
than usual one morning the mother
went to fetch her daughter, but was
Mortified to find her playing with the
snake. Fearing that noise might i'm
peril the child, she waited until the
viper started foI it's home. Then rails
ing an alarm, neighbors appeared who
Immediately destroyed the snake The
little child on hearing of what had &C.
CURED Immediately burst into tears.
declaring that the viper had been its
constant playmate for over a fortnight.

Fleet Will Steam $4,000 Knots.

To traverse this distance the ships must
steam 1S6 knots. From San Francisco
to Manila the fleet will have to cover
l.24O knots. Because of the possibility the
Suez canal cannot accommodate battle
ships of the draft of the Louisiana type.
it is possible the ships will have to round
the Cape of Good Hope. Coming via canal
the fleet would cover 1900 knots. Pass
ing around the Cape of Good Hope the
distance would be about 5000 knots long
er; so, to sum up, the total distance the
fleet will have to make. unless the pres
ent program is modified, will be about
5000 knots.
Steaming at an average speed of ten
knots per hour the vessels would have no
difficulty in making the trip within the
time fixed, though they will not have
much opportunity for target practice, coal
ing and visiting en- route. The belief at
the navy department is that the trip will
last well into the fall of the next year.
1t is an undertaking, however, into
which the officers have thrown them
selves with the greatest zest. Not only is
it necessary TO arrange for coal for the
entire trip-an enormous quantity must be
provided-but other stores are necessary
and arrangements for repairs are essen
tiaL Moreover, the fleet always must be
in such condition that if in the middle
of the Indian ocean the government
should find ii necessary to send il back
to the Pacific to defend American inter-
ests in that ocean, or to hurry it to the
Atlantic for a like purpose, it will be able
to start instantly and find ample pro-
visions along the route. All these consid-
eratiOns are making the navy department.
hum like a hive.
Successfully executed, the cruise will be
monument to American efficiency,
which, it is declared, cannot be Overesti-
mated. There is no nation in the world
that would dare adopt such a plan. The
impeTtinence of it is making foreign at
taches gasp. England would not denudc
her shores of fighting strength for an in
slant Germany. taking advantage of the
absence of steel walls, promptly would
throw an army into the tight little
isle" France maintains two squadrons
one in the Mediterranean and the other on
her west coast. Germany keeps her bat
tleships at home.
Indeed, the policy of all great European
bowers has been ana is to concentrate
their entire naval fighting strength in
home waters. where they can be utilized
for home defense. Russia deemed it nee
essary during the war with Japan to dis
patch a fleet from the Baltic to TSushima
straits, where it was destroyed. The
United States not only will dispatch a
fleet of far greater power, but will trans
port it more than double the distance. The
splendid geographical isolation of the
United States makes this action possible
without the element of danger which it
would possess for European powers.
