| GULLIVER AND LILLIPUTIAN UP TO DATE. A study in contrasts is afforded by Chas. Dunbar, a Scotchman, who stands 6 feet 3 inches high, weighs 616 pounds and is just 19 years at age, and his tiny friend, Harold Pyott, who is 35 years old and 23 inches in height. The pair have been making a tour of England in this 12-horse power auto. Wide World Photos AUTO REARING UP ON ITS HIND WHEELS.—Ambition is not confined to human beings alone, as is illustrated by this automobile in Buffalo, N. Y., which, judging from its position, seems to have yearnings to be an airplane. It is supported by a guy rope which it climbed after skidding on a strip of wet pavement. International JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER PARTS WITH A BRAND NEW DIME.—Richest man in the world giving a dime to Mrs. Charles F. Langer of New York City as a remembrance gift. It is said that he carries a stock of the coins, and that almost everyone at OrmoBd Beach, Fla., where he is spending the winter, has one of the mementos. Fotograms PART OF THIS FISH GRACED THE KING'S TABLE.—Giant royal sturgeon which is said to be the largest ever captured in the North Sea. It tipped the scale at just a trifle short of 1,000 pounds and from snout to tail measured about ten feet. Part of it was served at the Christmas dinner of King George at Buckingham Palace. Wide World Photos TINIEST OF CANINE ARISTOCRATS. What is said to be the smallest dog in British Isles is this Hadley Baby Bunting, here nestling in the sleeve of his mistress. He carried off first prize recently at the Sleeve Dog Association show, held at a prominent hotel in London. International RABBIT WITH "AIRPLANE" EARS.—Extraordinary bunny exhibited at the poultry, pigeon and rabbit show in the Olympia, London, which won first prize in the lop-eared class. Its huge aural fans measure 27Mj inches from tip to tip and 7 inches across. No other exhibit in the show attracted more amused attention. roriicierw..<>rt * f'nrlcrwood © Maryland State Archives mdsa_sc3410_i_81-0908.jpg |
