DWELLING IN ITALY.
FRANCE. AND THE RESULTS
MORE SERIOUS.
From The Sketch.

From The Sketch.
In the "Foreign Correspondence Italy, a
compared with France, fills Il small space Thu
the inner life Of the country Is Htte known to
the mere reader of the morning paper For
oxample the CaNallOtti- MacOla duel, in which
Signor Cavalotti. Member of Parliament, lost
his life. was read about over here as event
of uujtc uncommon interest The man in the
street said saeely. An see the duel has sur,
vived i'm Italy too" a duel in Paris fatal or
otherwise would hardly have drawn comment
from him. bccaugc our own has posted him in
every silly passage Of arms that has given some
bodv an hours notorety on the boulevard
But the truth of the matter IS that modern
Italy fights more duels than modern france, and
fights them, on the whole, IN rather more
serious style Into the vcxcd ana n"Ver-cndng
question of me relative merits OF the French
and Italian schools of fence, here IS no need to
enter The points of present interest are, first
that duelling is more prevalent In Italy than 10
; lmost any ,ther country Of Europe, and. second,
that the Italian duel is usually IA much more
serious affair ttan the French duel
Take the second point first Given an equal
ity Of skill on the part or each combaant
the results Will bc better or worse TO the loser
of the fight according to the character Of
weapons. The weapon of all but universal use
In France is the pointed sword for thrustng
IN italy II IS the sabre which allows Of the
thrust and the cut as well III was by the sabre
that SEnor Cavallotti met his death All duel
lists and all amateurs OF the art arc agreed thai
the wounds Of the sabre are usually far worse
than those If the simple sword and the codes
Of the duel in France have taken due note d
that salient fact. In ChatauVilard's Code du
Duel" it Is laid down that the sabre may be
refused hv tho, CHALLENGER if he is n retired Off.
Ger and has ,eascd the practice Of that weapon,
II NAV always bc refused by civilian The
newest code Of all on the subject. that Of the
Socift6 du Contrc de quartz, published last
wear insists that the combat by sabre can take
place only with the consent Of both parties"
which Is in strict conformity with French usage
AT this day - recently as 1889 the sabre was

it passed out OF fashion after the Issue in that

all length Of the Canada Is fifty four rect 10

her water line length (Which may be regarded

applicable to the cupdcfender Vigilant in which
the beam Of about twenty six feet when multi

modern yachts Colonia Navahoe. Vakyric III,
the German Empcror's Meteor and many others
hover round the same proportions and as these
racing craft measured for the time allow
hnces their water-line lengths, ii will be
seen that the proportions Of the hull proper
have remained about the same for ages.
But comparatively few modern pleasure craft,

dimensions Of the old Roman yacht She

that each would remain perpendicular There
being neither tides nor currents In this
lake the correct outline Of the yacht was
thus reproduced at the surface. Those
who stood upon the neighborng shore
were delighted with the scheme which ex-
hibitcd the shape Of the ship. The whole OF
that outline had never been seen since a period
which may have been az early as the fifth
year from the death Of Christ, and was GER
tanly within the sam. century. The dimensions
thus shown were afterward verified by correct
measurements made upon the hull itself.
