House Of 1000 Rooms.

"A maze which forms happy hunt

of thieves and the military and police
seem unable to keep them out. Or

the course Of his wanderings, meets
anyone, he simply pretends to have

comes TO an unoccupied room, there
he quickly gathers together anything
he can lay his hands on, and departs.

Curious Speed Contest Reported by

Seals are quick Of movement, and
anyone who has ever watched them
teeding cannot but marvel at the speed
with which they dart about in the

which they are able to overtake their
prey, says a Bulletin Of the American

a seal and a p1ed-billed grebe, when
each contestant was apparently doing
his best, "the seal looking for his
supper and the hell-direr intent ON
seeing that he didn't make up the
menu"
"WhiIe we were engaged in studying
the habits of a fish hawk" Mr.. Pennl-
man writes, "our. attention was at
tracted by a great commotion III the
water off shore. From our blind we
could see that. the splashing was
caused by a seal performing the most
curious antics in his attempts 10. catch
bird which we later identified as a
pied-billed grebe.
'The seal made rapid progress, por-
posing in and out of the water in
quick diving leaps and was fast over
hauling the bird, which was swimming
franticaly to escape his plirsuer. but.
however, made no attempt to fly. At
ter straight-away race OF some fifty
yards or more, it seemed as. if tile
chase was over. as both bird and seal
disappeared in the same splash rs the
seal struck the water. When the
splash subsided we saw that the grebe
had cleverly lodged to one side and,
after twisting and turning quickly
around very. small circuit to eiude
the seal, he headed straight for shore.
"The bird now began to use its
wings, and, skittering rapidly over the
water, soon distanced the seal, which
continued the chase until within i'O
feet of the beach, where the water
was no more than knee deep.
There ne sat with his shoulders out
of the water, watching the srebe as
the latter ran along the edge OF the
shore. Then. as though he hated to
give up his meal, he slowly pursued
the bird on a parallel course in the
water, paying not the slightest atten-
ton to the men on the beach until he
was frightened off by our intervention
