How Duels Start In Germany.

Arthur Thiele young student at the
High School of Technology in Charlotten-
burg, near Berlin, has been sent to fort
ress for nine months because he provoked
and fought a duel with DR.. Brockelmann.
Brookelmann was Thiele's second In a
sword duel, and in his comments on the
meeting criticised severely one of Thiele's
strokes. Thiele regarded tho criticism as
an insult. He challenged the doctor, but
a court Of honor decided the doctor was
under no obligation to accept the chal-
lenge. This decision angered Thiele. He
was determined to have a duel at any price.
So he sat down and wrote what to his
German mind, was the most insulting let
ter he could think out. This letter reached
its climax in the sentence:
"You may regard yourself as morally
boxed on the ear by the undersigned.
To Brockelmann's German mind, too
this seemed an insult that only blood could
wipe out. Thus 1t came that early one
morning Thiele and Brookelmann found
themselves ten PAGES apart in the Grune-
wald and shot at each other until Thiele
fell with dangerous wound in the abdo-
men. Thiele fingered for days between life
and death, but after once taking turn
for the better recovered rapidly. With
nine months rest In a Prussian fortress
he will be fully restored to health.

Creased Tracks.

For some time past o spirit of enmity
has existed between the State college stu
dents and the officials of the Bellefonte
Central Railroad company because the lat
ter have on several occasions refused to
run special trains to suit the students. A
coolness has also sprung up between the
students and society people of Bellefonte.
On the occasion of the seniors recent
reception and hop at the college the rail-
road company ran special train to the
college for the benefit Of all Bellefonters
who desired to attend the affair. This
was the opportunity the students had been
waiting for. About ~ miles from the
college there is quite step grade, and
when the special struck the incline there
was buzz and O whir-r-r-r, and the train
soon came to a standstill, although the
wheels were spinning until the fire flew.
Steam was shut off, and an examination
made, when 1t was found that the tracks
were creased with butter for distance of
several hundred feet, and it took the united
efforts of all on board to get the train up
the grade and into the college station, an
hour behind time and this was only ac-
complished after the tracks had been thor
oughly wiped and sanded.
And when the train was started home
ward it encountered the same trouble on
grade In sight of the college and was
again delayed a long time. The butter
that the students used in the greasing act
was taken from the college creamery

A Flen Works the Hammer.

At Essen, Germany, in the great
Krupp gun works, which are situated
at that place, there is a hammer that
weighs 80 tons. This hammer works in
connection with an anvil weighing so
tons, which, in turn, is placed on an
anvil block weighing 1870 tons. Profess

Bern, Switzerland, visited Essen and

about making model of the great
hammer which should be complete in

that the hammer could be raised by a
flea instead of by 100 horsepower en-

as providentially favored in this direc-

for matters of this kind-for example, if
you are writer, with keen sense for

that you should meet with more of them

I know of persons who detected the
gradual growth of such habits in them

WHITE WOMEN IN UGANDA.

Big Crowds Gather to See the First Eu-
ropean Ladies' In That Country.
Oct. last was a great day at Mengo
the capital of Uganda, for on that day the
tlrst white women to enter the country set
foot In the capital They were two Eng
lish missionaries who had made the long
journey from the Indian ocean to the
northern shore of Victoria Nyanza under
the escort Of Bishop Tucker of the Church
Missionary society. The natives had nev-
er seen q white woman before, and the
coming of tho ladies was heralded for days
before they arrived within view of the
crowds that greeted them at the capital.
King Mwanga was II anything more ex-
cited than any Of his people. Five days
before the bishop andYthe ladies arrived at
Mengo the king sent messenger with
lettor for Bishop Tucker, in which he said:
MANY greetings to you. rejoice
very, very much to hear that you are COM
ing, and that you have now arrived in
my country with ladies, because, even
from my childhood, have never seen Eu-
ropean ladies. My greetings to the ladies
and oil the Europeans who are with you"
This letter was from the royal young
person who some years ago murdered
Bishop Harrington and slaughtered hun
dreds of the native Christians at his capt.
tai. Times have changed in Uganda.
On the day the ladies entered the capital
crowds covered every hill and lined the
road along which the caravan entered the
town. Bishop Tucker writes that he saw
great crowds in Mengo on the day that
Sir Gerald Portal entered the capital, but
they were nothing to the enormous con-
course Of people that welcomed the first
women missionaries In Uganda. The mass
Of people was so great that it was difficult
to make a way along the road. Every
body was out to see the remarkable spec
taole. 1t Is presumed that the ladies had
a royal welcome from the king when Bish-
op Tucker introduced them, but tho report
Of that event has not yet come to hand.
A wonderful change has been wrought
In Uganda within the past few years.
Fifty thousand of the people can now read
and write, and the largest church in Men
go will hold more than 2,oO0 people. The

darker days than in Uganda decade ago,

was phenomenal, and the result Is a part

Bluffing a Bjshop.

Bishop Thorburn, the great Methodist
Episcopalian, on the Sunday evening after
the steamer Caledonia left Bombay on her
last voyage, preached on sin. In showing
that sin was simply the generic term for
many evils he pointed out that charcoal
and diamond we're composed of the same
elements differently combined and said
that If you were to place chunk of char
coal on the deck and leave 1T there till the
ship reached Suez 1t would be found to
have depreciated IS per cent, whereas q
diamond similarly treated would bs found
as pure, as bright and as valuable as when
first deposited in Its position. The promul.
cation of this theory had the effect Of rails
ing an excited controversy on board, and
Mr.. Archer, described as O great Yankee
authority on ''books," offered the bishop
to place q piece of charcoal ON the deck on
condition that his opponent supplied the
diamond and he would bet Rs. 5000 that
when the boat reached Suez there would
be more charcoal and less diamond visible.

ing of Mr.. Edison s visit to this city,
said: "He does not think of letting up

far as he could. During the last year or
so, while busy with the ore concen-
traitor, many thoughts and ideas as to
improvements in the various forms of
electrical machines and uses had occur
red to him; but he had simply made q
note of them and put the matter aside
until his return to the laboratory. Some
Of them that he mentioned to me were
startling. If he lives few years longer,
the world can be sure of many new in
ventions. Among other things that he
will follow up he mentioned the fact
that he had thought out a, means Of pro-
ducing incandescent light at half of its
present cost. This is very important
matter, needless to say. He says he had
experimental enough to satisfy himself
that it was practicable. "-Philadelphia

MIR. BARNES' NARRATIVE.


Gentlemen" began Mr.. Barnes.
rising. II am only an ordinary man,
following a profession at which some
are disposed to sneer, but which to me
seems but the plain duty of one who is
endowed with the peculiar qualities
that are essential to the calling. Our
host would make a magnificent detect

a higher duty to perform. Begging you.
then, to forgive my manner Of address

/ will tell you the little that have
done, prefacing my remarks by saying
that without the valuable assistance of
Mr.. Mitchell / should have been power
less.
"There was curious button which I
found in the room where the murder
was committed, and which matched a
set owned by Mr.. Mitchell so closely
that it seemed to me to point to him as
one who had a guilty knowledge. l
spent much time following the clews
that turned up in that connection, all
of which, however, was not entirely
misspent, for discovered the true name
of the dead woman to be Rose Montal-
bon, and that aided me greatly in my
later work. At last, then, / abandoned
the idea that Mr.. Mitchell was guilty
and frankly admitted this. He then told
me the name of the jeveler from which
the buttons had been ordered, and I
went across the Atlantic.
""The button which I had was imper-
feet. This was my starting point.
Through letters of introduction which
Mr.. Mitchell gave me I succeeded in OBJ
tanning the assistance Of the jewelers.
They gave me the name of the man who
had carved the canoes for them, but
they knew nothing of the imperfect but
ton. They had also lost track of the
cameo cutter. 1t took me over a month
to trace that man, even with the aid Of
the Paris police. Finally I found him,
and he told me that he had sold the
