A STRANGE DUEL.


How a Texan and an Indian Killed
Zach Other.
The particulars of recent novel duel in
the Indian Territory have just been published
The affair come off at Tishamingo in the
Choctaw nation Tishamingo is a small vii
lage where the Indians do their trading, and
is the frequent resort Of hard characters
from Texas and other parts Of the United
States. That region is full Of outlaws Among
a dozen or more outlaws sitting in saloon
was a tall Texan named Chalmers. An Indian
police officer named Brown entered the saloon
and Chalmers insisted on treating. As they
were about to drink Brown managed TO spill
Chalmers liquor on the floor, telling him he
had enough. This enraged the Texan, who
demanded blood. and pulled bis revolver with
one hand and his dirk with the other. Brown
also drew his weapon. and fight was about
to open. when the spectators interfered and
attempted to settle the matter
Nothing would satisfy the wounded honor
of Chalmers but blood, and SO the other
white men and Indians fixed up fight on the
following terms: The two men were to stand
back to back in the middle of the floor. At
q given signal each man was to run out or
the room. the Indian through the front door
and the Texan by the back door. They were
to turn in the same direction after clearing
the doors, and begin firing promiscuously.
Both principals agreed to these terms and
took their positions The signal was given,
and both started from the house, pistols in
hand. They faced each other on the north
side of the house and opened fire at almost
the same instant Three rounds were fired
in quick succession. Then the Indian began
to stagger, and, running toward Chalmers
with drawn knife, plunged it into the Tex
ans breast just as the latter fired his last
bullet, which penetrated the Indians heart
killing him instantly. Chalmers die1 half

Declined to Live.

Ia the Middle Ages there were two
chances of life at the last moment ac-
corded to a malefactor condemned to
death, beside free pardon from the
sovereign. One of these was the acci-
dental meeting Of cardinal with the
procession to execution; the other was
the offer of maiden to marry the con-
demned man, or, in case it was woman
sentenced TO death, the offer of man
to make her his wife. The claim of the
cardinals was curious one. They pre-
tended to have inherited the privileges
with which the vestal virgins Of old
Rome were invested. In 1909 man was
condemned to be hanged in Paris for
some offence. AS he was being led to
execution down the street of Aubry-l le-
Boucher he met the Cardinal of Saint
Eusebius, named Rochette, who was
going up the street. The cardinal i'm
mediately took oath that the meeting
was accidental, and demanded the re-
lease of the criminal 1t was granted
In 1876 Charles Y. was appealed to in
case of man who was about to be
hanged, when girl in the crowd cried
out that she would take him as her hus-
band. Charles decreed that the man
was to be given up to her.
Another instance we quote from the
diary Of Partisan citizen of the year
1880. He wrote: ssOn Jan. 10, 1880,
eleven men were taken to the HalIes to
be executed, and the heads Of ten were
cut of. The eleventh was handsome
young man of twenty four; he was hav-
ing his eyes bandaged when young
girl BORN at the Halles came boldly for
ward and asked for him. AS she stood
to her point, and maintained her right
so resolutely, that he was taken back to
prison in the chatelet, where they were
married, and then he was discharged. =
This custom has SO stamped itself on the
traditions Of the peasantry that all over
France it is the subject Of popular tales
and anecdotes; with one of the latter we
will conclude. In Normandy man was
at the foot Of the gibbet, the rope was
round his neck, when sharp-featured
woman came up and demanded him.
The criminal looked hard at her, and
turning to the hangman, said:
IA pointed nose, bitter tonguel
Proceed, I'd rather far be hung

A Rin Tortoise

Ae discovery of the gigantic extinct
sea-turtle found near Fort Wallace, in
western Kansas, first observed the large
bony shields projecting from bluff
near Butte creek. They were carefully
taken out and brought to Philadelphia,
where the restoration was made. The
fore-fippers alone were nearly five feet
long, while its expanse from the tip Of
one extended iipper to another was
about seventeen feet The question
may arise how did this sea-turtle be-
come buried in a bluff in the State of
Kansasa A natural supposition would
be that Kansas is the bed of former
ocean, and so it is. Ages ago, in what
is called by geologists the Cretaceous
period, that part of the world was the
bed Of a great sea, in which the great
turtle swan, together with other mon
sters of curious shape and appearance.
Gradually the crust of the earth was
raised, the water fell back, or became
inclosed, and left the inhabitants Of the
Cretacious sea high and dry, to be COW
cred BY the earth and preserved for
US to study ages afterward.
The shores Of this ancient ocean are
easily found and followed by geologists.
It's extent has been traced on our West
ern plains by the bleaching and disin-
tegrating remains that have been found
upon and beneath the surface.-St.

TRANSMISSION Of Blood.

The public mind has been much as.
tonished and bewildered during the past
few weeks by the reports, through the
general press, Of certain experiments on
transfusion of blood said to have been
carried on at Denver, Col. The popu-
lar mind has been astonished and be-
wildered many times before now on the
subject of transfusing restoratives into
the circulation OF men and animals. The
operation starts, indeed, in mystery.
4sson, the father of Jason of the golden
feece, becoming in6rm, Media, after
drawing the blood from his veins, retills
them with potent fluid. and the old
man, SO runs the fable, rejuvenates.
Libavius of Halle, in the early part of
the seventeenth century, improves on
this fable by suggesting the actual
TRANSMISSION Of blood. Sir Christopher
Wren, in the eighteenth century,
gives the idea more distinct
form; and Richard Lower, Edmund
King, and Denis, actually bring it into
practice, with such effect that the world,
startled by the first results and filed with
admiring wonder, soon turns round, in
disappointment at failure, and lets the
pope prohibit the operation in all parts
where his mandate was law. Over and
over again the wonder has, nevertheless,
revived. Early in this century, Professor
Harwood, of Cambridge, revivifed a
pointer that had been bled, as it seemed,
to death, by transfusing into it the blood
from sheep. Later on in the century
DR.. Blundell made some remarkable ex-
periments precisely similar in character,
and now we have the same retold in a
new dress, either by repetition Of mere
narrative or by repetition of experiment
which it is difficult as yet to say. Of
the report going the round Of the press
it is quite impossible, at present, to
speak with any certainty. -L0ndoa Lancet.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

I Arsenic having been found to act as a

Mattieu Williams has suggested that the
4 generally condemned arsenical wall pa
pers may be useful as a protection against
the dangers Of regions subject to ma

/ A Asingular case in charge of DR.. Strum-
pell, Of Leipsig, a few days ago, was that
of q young man in whom brain disease
had destroyed all sensibility Of touch,
and also the functions Of one eye and
one ear. The youth was wide awake,
conscious and intelligent when the re-
manning eye and ear were open, but at
once became unconscious when they were
carefully closed.
DR.. Fothergill says that patient dy-
| Ing Of exhaustion is generally dying of
starvation. 1--WE give him beef tea,
calf's foot jelly, alcohol, seltzer and milk {;
that is, a small quantity Of sugar, of
milk and some fat. But the jelly is the
poorest sort of food, and the beef tea q
mere stimuIant. The popular belief that
beef tea contains the very strength Of
the meat is terrible error, it has no food
value.n
In new French apparatus the heat Of
the sun falling upon metallic plates
tightly covering a thin layer Of volatile
liquid, like ammonia, is combined with
the natural GOODNESS of water to generate
power for pumping. With plates hav-
ing surface Of forty square yards such
an apparatus would hourly raise 792 gal
Ions of water sixty-fve feet in warm eli
mates, and at Auteuil raises over 800
gallons per hour.
In some recent scientific experiments
on the effects of cold, two frogs were
frozen solid in temperature of about
twenty degrees Fahrenheit, and kept it
in that condition for half an hour. On
thawlng slowly they recovered perfectly,
but it was found that longer periods Of
exposure invariably killed the animals.
The experiment was tiled of freezing
hermetically sealed meat, so as to kill its
bacterial organisms, and thus render it
Incapable Of putrefying. 1t was found,
however, that SO low temperature as
eighty degrees below zero would not de-
stroy the vitality Of nitro-organisms. 1t
was thus made clear that the attempts to
preserve meat for long time by mo
mentary freezing of it must be aban-
doned
Morgan, of Manchester, England, has
remarked upon the healthy condition Of
the Highland crofters, who live in
s'bothies," the atmosphere Of which is
iinpregnated with peat smoke, and are
yet not troubled by disease, being par
ticularly free from consumption and
other lung infections. Their rooms are
warmed by peat fire kept constantly
burning in the middle of the floor; and,
their being no means of escape for the
smoke except hole in the corner of the
roof, the atmosphere is often pungent
enough to make the eyes and nostrils
smart. Yet the inhabitants are well and
vigorous, and are liable to lung diseases
only when they go to i've in houses with
chimneys. The explanation of the phe
nomenon is not hard to find. Peat
smoke is heavily charged with antisep-
tics-with far, creosote, tannin and vari-
GUS volatile oils and resins and the salu-
tary influence of these more than makes
up for the adulteration of the air.
