cursed his tutor and broke away from
lessons to meet one or another of his
charmers. For this conduct the king
in person welted him numerically
with rawhide whip. This effected
no lasting improvement, and the un-
happy Major Levasseur was forced to
resign.
A few months ago he was turned
out of a music hall of Belgrade for
throwing champagne bottles at the
leader of the orchestra and climbing
over the footlights to make love to
Nine. Belya.
One of his charmers in higher So
ciety was the wife of an army officer.
1t is believed that he secretly con-
tracted a false marriage with the
daughter of general.
Several years ago King Peter de-
posed his lawless son as crown prince
and proclaimed his brother Alexander
heir to the throne.
The prince is not a respector of
crowns and he frequently takes occa-

abusing or ridiculing the rulers of Eu-
rope. The car of Russia, whom he
visited, he described as an imbecile,
a stuffed doll, a man without sin
gle idea in his head. He said the Ger
man emperor had plenty of energy,
but no sense.
The advisability of combining the
prince in a sanitarium was discussed
by the prime minister and King Peter,
and the prime minister received a
horsewhipping from the irate prince
when he heard of the conference.
His lawless life has been the scan
dial of Europe, but even his worst enc
mics never believed the carnival of
crime would be brought to climax
with so shocking a catastrophe as the
assassination of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand. It's the charge that
Prince George was an accomplice in
this plot of assassination that has
brought Servia and Austria, and per-
haps all Europe to the brink of war.

fANGs OF A RATHER.
Long. Curved and Hollow Are These
Deadly Poison Syrinses.

A rattlesnake does not coil up like
ships cable. as IL is SO often pictured.
but In a more Irregular fashion. with
the rattle bearing tail free In the mid
die and the neck bent back upon itself
SO as 10 be quickly rung forward In
striking. A snake when alarmed or ir-
ritated often opens its mouth and pro-
trudes It's tongue. Many think that
the poison turks here. AS matter or
fact. the tongue Is "A delicate sense or
gan. corresponding To our ears. ana a
snake may be said TO hear with Its
tongue.
The teeth OF an ordinary harmless
water snake are like little needles, and.
although such snake may strike and
bite viciously, the wound amounts TO
nothing. On the other hand. in a rat
tlesnake or other venomous serpent
there is pair Of long curved hollow
fangs In the fore part of the mouth
that are very different from the other
teeth. These connect with the poison
ducts. and when the snake strikes and
closes its jaws the apparatus works
like hypodermic syringe. the pressure
Of the closing jaws squeezing the We
nom from the poison sac through the
hollow fang into the wound. Some
makes have only grooved fangs instead
Of hollow ones. but the effect is the
same.
Treatment for the bite OF rattle
snake should be prompt and drastic.
The time honored whisky treatment is
useless. The poison works In the blood,
and the first move should be TO tie a
ligature between the wound and the
heart, so as TO keep II out Of the cir
culation. The next step should be to
cut open the wound and by squeezing
and sucking get rid OF the venom as
quickly as possible. The wound should
be thoroughly washed out with solu-
ton Of permnganate OF potash and
kept moist with an antiseptic dressing.
Travellers who are apt to be exposed
to bites Of poisonous serpents should
carry a hypodermic syringe and as
soon as bitten inject permanganate
solution literally all about the wound.
This requires nerve. but people with
out nerve should avoid the vicinity of
rattlesnakes.-St Louis Republic.

Action of the Air When an Electric

II a small lump Of ice is placed on a
plate and light allowed to fall on II
through an ordinary reading glass SO
that the burning focus comes within
the ice very interesting thing may
be seen. The ice will begin TO melt
inside at the point Of focus. AS ice
shrinks on melting, space will be left
on account Of the melted ice not taking
up SO much room as II did when II

um and Is filed with water vapor OF
very small pressure.

hole get thinner and thinner. As the
pressure of the atmosphere Is fifteen
pounds to the square inch and az the
pressure inside the hole Is very slight,
there will come time when the out
side air pressure will collapse the ice
with an explosive sound.
The same phenomenon Is apparent
when an electric bulb is broken. Peo
pie say II explodes, but as a matter OF
fact It Is crushed inward on all sides
by the atmospheric pressure. But 1t
Is known by every one that pieces OF
glass fly to every corner Of the room
when bulb explodes, and the fact OF
Its being crushed is not so easily seen
The only explanation as 10 why glass

lapsing into closely packed mass OF
cracked glass at the center OF the de

opposite sides are hurled inward to
ward the center they do not always
exactly strike each other and may miss
each other altogether. When they do

REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE DAY
purltans Of England Made Christmas
Illegal and Declared It Il Mis-
demeanor to Be Gay.

English Puritans OF the seventeenth
century guarded against looking upon
the rosy side Of life.
Because Christmas is really q sur
yival OF the Celts' Yule, and Is not
the actual anniversary OF the birth of
Christ, they refused to countenance
Christmas festivities. Not only did
they refuse to recognize the day. but
they made laws 10 that effect.
The parliament of 1914 passed an
act ordering ell law abiding citizens
TO observe December 25 as a solemn
fast. to be spent in silent atonement
for previous Christmas days that had
passed in riotous living and merry
making.
Naturally the community did not
share In these hard and fast rules,
and many a turkey was surreptitious-
ly killed. and many n plum pudding
quietly boiled. But woe betide the
unfortunate offender against the act
were he luokless enough TO be dis.
covered.
Soldiers were sent to search the
houses Of those suspected of harbor-
Ing such dcliCGCies as mlnce pies,
etc, and many were tho pitched bat
ties between disagreeing sections of
the public.
