had no intention Of leaving the coun-
try, and asserts that even if they did
leave Kellert would have recourse. The
petition was opposed by Mr.. Green
shields on behalf of Kellert, and Judge
Matthew fixed Monday for the hearing
of the case.
1t Is conceded In official circles, after
a careful examination of the law, that
the crown has not the power to expel
from the country. The power is re-
served to parliament. which brings 1t
into play by special act. In Great
Britain since 1S43 1t has been held that.
In the absence Of parliamentary au-
thority. the power of expulsion does not
exist.

A Playground on a Roof,

The boys Of st. Paul's cathedral

half-holidays, they play among them

week they possess what is certainly
the strangest playground in England.

inclosed by means of strong beams
and wire netting, so that balls cannot

GERMAN DUEllNC.
ItTakes the Place Of Football, Rowing
and Other sports.

One OF the most prominent features
of the picturesque side of German stu
dent life is dueling. 1t is to the Ger
man youth what sport is to the Ameri-
can college boy. There are, however,
two distinct kinds Of duels. A real
duel, properly so called, in which dan
gerous weapons, like sabers or pistols,
ore used occurs very rarely amongthe
students. The students duel is chiefly
test of skill of proves, and very
seldom has. directly fatal result.
These duels are fought for various
reasons, sometimes, too, for no reason
whatever. Any slight insult or off'ense
and q German student is very
"touchy" and frequently most will
ingly offended-may be made the occa-
sion for challenge.
The makeup of duelist is remark
able. AS to grotesque appearance
the football player cannot compare
with the German student. The right
leg and the chest are amply protected
by cushion-like garments; the right
arm is guarded by padded glove
reaching to the shoulder, the neck is
safely covered with heavy wrappings,
and the eyes are shielded with tin
goggles. The rules and regulations
regarding the combat are intricate and
are strictly enforced. The duel is over
when the allotted time, fifteen minutes
actual fencing, has passed, or when
one of combatants has received a
wound which the attending surgeon
considers somewhat serious (abfuhr).
TO receive an abfuhr is no dishonor,
while any show of fear is considered
disgraceful.
Dueling is, of course, forbidden by
the law. The authorities, however,
connive at its breach, and interfere
only when fighting is done to excess
or threatens to degenerate into mere
slashing. The offenders when caught
in the act are committed to the Car
Ger, the students special prison.
