LECTION OF RARE ANIMALS, Has Largest Private Museum In Exist• 'nee.- Book on Extinct Birds to Cost $lO0,000--Big Price For a Flea %--Employs Zebras. for Driving, and Farm Purposes -- Possesses Many ,Unique Specimens. Ordinarily when an author publishes a book he expects to make something out of it, The Hon, Lionel Walter Rothschild of London and Tring Park, England;" does not depend on litera- tare fora Hiring. Like some other members of the famous• family of fin-, anciers, he has a hobby, and a rather expensive one at that. In the col, lection of rare animalsand insects and in publications about them he has spent what to • many would seem .a very comfortable fortune. His ' zoo- logical museum at Tring Park is per- haps the ' largest private museum of the `kind in existence. • He edits re- ports on the collections of this mu- seum which cost him a great deal, but he is now engaged in the publica- tion of a book about "Extinct Birds" which as a sort of literary and scien- tific luxury promises to beat the re- cord. .This work is. said tohave cost the- author about $100,000, and only 3Q0 copies, of it will be issued. These will be printed in English and sold at $125 a copy. Thus, even if he sold all the- books at the price named, he would be a loser to .the extent of over $60.000. : But $60,000 is nothing to the eldest son of Baron Rothschild. •He' spends. about ais much as that every, year in keeping . up his wonderful zoological gardens and museum. • He has fitted out expeditions to go, hunting in the tropics for rare animals, paying high prices where necessary toobtain them HON. LIQNEL WALTER' ROTHSCHILD 114D . Iris MaseUM .and buying : out whole collections sometimes -just to obtain one., extra ordinary specimen. " His • younger bro- ther Charles, whose hobby is: the• co lection of fleas, once. commissions some Arctic whalers to obtain for him specimens of the fleas of Arctic ani mals, and there was a story . 'th Charles had offered "prize of $5,000. for. a' single example of the flea of the' Arc* fox. This.was denied, but it was not denied that. he had made special inducements . to the Arctic • fishermen to find for. him, speciinena of insects. from .the polar regions. Charles . ,Rothschild • has' -manifested strange devotion to::his singular hob-' by. • He says that,every• mammal and bird. has a; particular 'kind of :flea and that some of them, have several kinds, so that. the flea affords more diverse Material for a collector than any liv ing creature. He has fleas from•. every corner, of the world, over 10,000 dif- ferent varieties.'it affords. . him as great delight to secure a new kind of flea as it dyes J.P-ierpont--Morgan to Obtain a rare specimen of the work of an old master. Imperishable Paper. • In the . publieation ` of the work on 'extinct. birds great care has been tak- en to; render it so far as possible` im- perishable. The mast expensive paper. is used, and the blocks, for the color. plates cost over a thousand' pounds. Among the birds now extinct, or prac-_ tically so, of which'the book has il- lustrations are the great auk, the. whale-headed stork, the .King Albert's bird of paradise. from New Guinea, the Labrador duck and: Manteil's kiwi. . The Hon Lionel Walter Rothschild, though 38 .years. of age and though occupied with` business 'cares and his duties as.a member of Parliament, has attained reputation•as a. scientist. The study of animals and insects and their collection are with him no'?mere Bobby, ar d -he has. written several works on natural history• which have been' accepted as' authorities in their field. I Zebras. in London. • He was one of the first Englishmen to. employ :the zebra fttrs-driving and farm purposes. He startled the staid British . public a .few; years ago by driving zebras four abreast: through the streets of London. His collec- tione embrace a wide variety of speci- mens belonging to the animal king- dom, living and dead, but perhaps he takes the greatest interest in birds. Among stuffed specimens of. the lat- ter in his museum at Tring Park is an example o€ -the great auk, with two eggs, bird and eggs together be- ing valued at' about $1,700. Another tare and extinct bird d int rd in the museum is the grotesque whale -headed- stork from the White Nile. a a 1 d at • • • Ashes For Horses..

Villa Suveret, says The London Tribune correspondent, is a ccsy, red -brick, gabled cottage, much more English in style than•. French, It is quite hidden amid the pines. • MiI, JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN. Yen can only catch a glimpse of it by crossing the thick wood which,' surrounds it. The carriage drive from the road is long, and ziz-zags throug1 avenues of mimosa and eucalyptus,. The entrance is smothered under the overhanging branches of a. : thick clump of the same trees. VilIa'Suveret is :a veritable haven of seclusion into which no prying or curious eyes mar penetrate. . • Within this screen lives Great Sri-. tain's former Colonial Minister; en- deavoring' by' Spartan effort and mode of existence to win. back :the health. he has. lost. -"Ts he suffering?" isa question thousands are asking.. Few .can answer, for Mr. Chamberlain sees no one but his family and . his servants, His life is; indeed, almost that of a hermit. And he imposes the a same- mariner of living on his nine servants, of whom only two are Eng- lish.._Mr:-. Chamberlain is -certain better thanl 'he was a few months ago.

THE FATHER OF CLUBS: White's`" Famous Institution HasaEx- isted For 232 Years: White's club, one of London's .old- est and most famous institutions, has just secured itself • against possible dissolution'by renewing itslease of its . present ,quarters in St.. :James' street: The club, remarks The Bell man, is one year older than the Bank of England, dating back to. 1675. In those days each branch of trade or society 'had its particular : place : of resort, and White's • chocolate house in ` St. 'James street was the acknow- ledged meeting place of men of fash- ion. Some fifty "of these drew up a set Of rules, hired: a morn in the chocolate house, and paid a guinea a. year each. "toward having a good cook.,. • So London''s first club was" formed, and its list of members is like a ros- ter of all the great families of Eng- land. Its collection of portraits of members, from its foundation to the present• title, is an extraordinary one, and: constitutes the chief glory . of the present clubhouse. -• Another of the club's most valued. possessions is an old, betting book which has been carefully preserved and 'forms an extraordinary comment on the social.side of Londonlife from the days of Queen _Anne onward. Mat- ters ' social' . and domestic were the principal subjects of bets, and' the mimes 'of. ladies: both in and out of society were made the subject of most personal wagers.:- Marriages, births and deaths, along with separations, divorces and the paternity of chil- dren were asfrequent as political and sporting bets. One very characteristic bet was en- tered November 41754 -"Lord Mont- fort Wagers Sir John. Bland one hun Bred" guineas that Nash outlives Cib- her.
