Mastered Twenty-Five Languages.

Sir Richard Burton, explorer and
linguist, was the master of 20 Ian
guages which he understood perfectly.
He made 1t a rule TO study or read
something in one of these languages
every day and managed to keep them
separated in his mind. He had seven
work tables and switched from one
TO the other every day. At night he
banished all work and devoted him
self to novel. When he became sick
he would go to bed with a bunch Of
novels and stay there on a starvation
diet until he felt ready to get up and

Fourteen reptiles were laid low with

Of snakes that had gotten twisted to-
