An Extraordinary Duel.

One of the most remarkable duels ever
fought, perhaps, took place in 1903 be-
tween two Frenchmen. OF course the
quarrel arose about lady-a certain
Mile. Tirevet-who, it appears, was un-
able to decide on which of the two she
preferred. She finally found q way out
of the difficulty by promising to marry
whichever Of them worsted the other.
They thought over the matter in calm
and judicial spirit for month, and at
the end decided to fight dnel in = ,e
air. Accordingly two balloons were
made exactly alike, and upon tb an
pointed day each scared aloft, accom-.
panied by his second.

derbuss, the agreement being that thew
were to fire, not at each o her. but al
the balloons. They arose to the heigh,
of half mile, and then the preconcert
ed signal was given. One fred and

more disastrous effect6. He hit his Cd
ponent's balloon, which instantly col.
lapsed, with the result that the occu-
pants of the car were dashed to the
earth with frighLful rapidity and in

The Elephant Among the Egyptians,


The Carthaginians appear to have
tanned the African eleptant-a feat now
regarded as impossible. On the other
hand, Thothmes III encountered herd
of 12O elephants in Mesopotamia, and
shows an elephant as part of his Asiatic
spoils. Possibly the Assyrians may even
at that early period have obtained ele-
plants from India. The Persians used
them at Arbela, and the Greeks brought
them to Palestine, as Pyrrhus unless in
deed his elephants were African) did to
Italy.
But the range of the Asiatic elephant
may have been wider IN early times than
it now is, for it survived with the rhi-
noceros in Honan down to 600 B. c. The
elephant is correctly represented on the
black obelisk of Shalmanezer II (860-a25
3. CO with the rhinoceros; and other
Bactrian and Indian animals, notably
monkeys, occur on Assyrian bas-reliefs.

ACCIDENT TO No. L ENGINE.
A Bad Corner and a Wet Street
81 Topples Her Over.

On Saturday afternoon at about
4 80 o'clock No. l Engine, while
turning the corner of Maunakea
and Beretania streets, toppled over
on it's right side, but luckily very
little damage was done the ma
chine. From eye-witnesses it is
learned that the engine came along
Beretania street at an ordinary rate
of speed on it's way to No. 5 Engine
house, where drill was to take
place when rounding the corner
into Maunakea street, which is a
dangerous turn to make, the hind
wheels of the engine would not an
swer the brakes as the ground was
very wet, and they commenced to
slip, and before the driver could
avoid it the engine turned over on
its right side, damaging the nickel
plate sheathing around the top of
the boiler and bending the pipe
connected with the steam whistle.
The damage in all will not amount
to 800.
Jack Warner, the driver, was
thrown to the ground and received
a number of bruises, but he pluck
lily held on to the lines, thereby
preventing the frightened horses
from breaking away from the en-
CINE. Pat Hughes, the engineer,
Jack Hughes, and the stoker, who
who were all on the rear platform,
were thrown off, each receiving
some slight injury.
Jack Warner is an old San Fran
cisco fireman, and is looked on as
one of the best drivers here, and
| people who witnessed it claim that
he did everything in his power tc
avoid the accident.
