DUELlNG IN ENGLAND.
The Last Encounter Between Officers OF
the British Army.

Dueling received its death blow in
England by IA fatal encounter which
took place the LIST of July. 1913. Two
officers, Colonel Fawcett and Lleuten-
ant Munro, who were brothersin-law,
had a quarrel. Colonel Fawcett was
elderly. had been in India, was out of
health. and was irritable in temper. 1t
came out afterward that he had given
his relative the greatest provocation.
Still Lieutenant Munro hung back from
what up To that time had been regarded
as the sole resource of a gentleman. es-
pecially military man. He showed
great reluctance to challenging Colonel
Fawcett, and it was only after the i'm
preston mistaken or otherwise-was
given to the insulted man that his regi-
ment expected him to take the old
course, and that if he did not do so he
must be disgraced throughout the scrv-
ice. that he called out his brother-in-
law. The challenge was accepted, the
meeting took place, Colonel Fawcctt
was shot dead, and the horrible anomaly
presented itself of one of two sisters

their father had slain. Apart from the
bloodshed Lieutenant Munro was ruined
by the miserable step on which he had
been thrust. Public feeling was aroused
to protest against the barbarous practice
by which a bally had it in his power to
risk the life of man immeasurably his
superior against whom he happened to
have a dislike. Prince Albert interest,"

peciaily as it concerned the army. Nari-

INGENIOUS CRIMINALS.


Masters of the Art of Escaping from Of
fetal Custody.
A Frenchman named Delattre is
professional burglar of great experience
and exceptional talents, and an all
round criminal. He first gained public
notoriety by scaping from the panier
salade, or Black Maria, as it is called
here, on the way from Mazas to the
palais de justice. He simply cut trap
door in the Lotion of the vehicle and let
himself drop into the street. Some time
afterward he was captured again, tried
and sentenced to death. A commute
ton followed. and he was condemned to
penal servitude for life. In 1880 he was
sent to New Caledonia, but he went
back to France again in the same
vessel that took him to the penal
colony. This vessel was the trans
port Loire. The very day before she
weighed anchor to return to France De-
lattre escaped from the penitentiary,
and in the night he reached the waters
edge, threw off his clothes, and struck
off for the Loire, that was still at anchor
at a considerable distance from the
shore. Unseen by any body, he climbed
into the chains got on board, and hid
himself in the store room. There he
had plenty of biscuits and water, but he
was not satisfied; he needed a suit of
clothes. When the vessel was three
days out at sea he was captured in the
act OF stealing a sailors trousers He
was Immediately recognizedoand put in
irons. When the ship arrived at Brest
he managed to get the better of the Wig
lance of the guard of honor that the
captain had appointed for him and dis
appeared again. Then there was gen
eral hubbub on board. The yes
sci was searched from stem
to stern, but no trace of
him could be found Fate was against
him, however for one of the sailors
happened to look into an empty wine
cask in the store-room. There was De-
lattre crouched in the bottom of the
cask, naked as a worm, and ready for
another swim when darkness came on.
He had succeeded in getting rid of his
irons, and his travelling kit consisted of
a little box of biscuits and a bottle of
brandy. He was sent back to New Cal
edonia, and it is now said that he has
escaped again.

THE PATENT OFFICE.
How Uncle Sam Protects the Interests of
His inventors.

Next April the Patent Office will be
one hundred years old 1t was the work
OF Thomas Jefferson, who was an in
ventor himself. The English, to their
credit, did not destroy the Patent Office
when they captured Washington during
the war of 1912. Before 1886 it was in
8mbroyo, and there was but little sys.
tenn, but in that year the first commits
sioner was appointed, but fire unfortu-
nately destroyed over 1000 models and
many valuable papers. Many of the
models were replaced in after years.
There was another fire in 1877, which
made sad havoc in the model-room,
where there was an accumulation of
over 200, 900, made of wood as dry as
finder, and only needing a spark. This
los7 awakened the authorities to the
benefit to be derived from photolitho-
graph which has grown to be an i'm
mense business, as nearly 25, 900 patents
are granted every year. The applica-
TONS come in to the commits
sioner by the scores every day. The
financial clerk then collects SIS for the
entrance fee, and then puts the model on
Its course through the office, and com
plants are many that this process is
rather slow. If the drawing is defect
i've, the inventor is notified. After ex-
animation, if the device is found patent
able, the examiner forwards the papers
to the issue division, where they are ar
ranged and sent to their respective di-
visions. There are thirty subjects of in
vention, divided into lightweight
classes, and assigned for examination to
the thirty examining divisions of the Of
lice. The patent is then allowed. and
the inventor notified of it's allowance
upon receipt of SO, the final fee. The
drawings are then autographed, and the
specifications printed. The voyage is a
long and tedious one, sometimes reouir-
ing years. Over 3, 500 patents have been
granted to ladies. OF these the novelist,
Blanche Willis Howard, has patented a
