Spends His Life In Prison.

Count Rocco Dianovitch has made the
getting into prison the chief business
of his life for thlrty-four of the forty
seven years he has lived, for a book he
is anxious to write on the subject. At
10 he left his home and went into Prus-
STA, where he was arrested for tres
passing and sent to prison for three
months, working at chair-making.
From that time to this he has never
been free from the desire to continue
his prison explorations.
From IS till he WAS 90 he was In and
out of more than twenty prisons In
Belgium, Prussia, Poland and Russia.
His first experience Of jail life In Eng
land was In Liverpool, which was one
of the worst he was ever In, filed with
drunken sailors from all over the
world. He stayed there six days, when
he paid his fine and got out, the first
time he failed to serve his sentence.
Then he went to Ireland, France, Spain,
Italy, Greece and Turkey, then to
Egypt, where the jails are the worst
In the world except Australia; next 10
India and Japan, and then to America,
where he remained for more than a
year, spending most of his time In jails
and penitentiaries. Pittsburg Dis

GERMAN DUElING.

1t Takes the Place of Foot Ball, Row.
ing 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 Amer
lean college boy. There are, however,
two distinct kinds of duels. A real
duel, properly so called, in which dam
gerous weapons, like sabers or pistols,
are used occurs very rarely among the
students. The students duel Is chiefly
a test Of skill and prowess, and very
seldom has a directly fatal result.
These duels are fought for various rea-
sons, sometimes, too, for no reason
whatever. Any slight insult or offense
and German student Is very
''touchy" and frequently most willingly
offended-may be made the occasion
for challenge.
The makeup of duelist Is remark
able. AS to grotesque appearance the
foot ball player cannot compare with
the German student. The right leg

cushion-like garments; the right arm Is
guarded by padded glove reaching
to the shoulder the neck is safely COW
cred with heavy wrappings, and the
eyes are shielded with tin goggles. The
rules and regulation 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 the
complaints has received 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, con-
nive at its breach, and interfere only
when fighting is done to excess or
threatens to degenerate into mere slash
ing. The offenders when caught in the
act are committed to the Career, the
students special prison.-Chautaqu

How CANYONS We're Formed.

The secret of the great denudation
and of this wonderful achievement of
the Colorado In carving out of rock a
series of canyons about 500 miles long
and, In one place at least, more than q
mile deep. with a multitude of tribu-
tary chasms and gorges, Is very simple
when you know 1t. The old lake bed
slowly rose. At first the Colorado Riv-

less monstrous ancestors of these,
sweeping over the slowly rising sur
faces, planned them down in most re-
lentless fashion, and then began wear
ing out broad shallow stream beds.
But then the country rose more rapid
ly, and the water had to cut deeper
channels In the rocks In order to get
out and away to sea. Owing in part
to the wear of the water itself, but
more to the ceaseless bombardment of
the suspended sand which 1t bore from
the up country, or picked up as 1t went
along, and to the thump of pebbles
and powders which 1t swept on In
food time, the river kept cutting down
as the strata rose, until finally, when

An Artificial Man.

A doctor has calculated how much II
would cost to make an artificial man.
He estimates that pair of arms cost
500, or, with the hands articulated,
cost about $175; pair of legs, also
articulated, cost about $40; false
nose In metal from $50 to 500. For
S130 he believes that he could get a
pair of ears just like natures handi
work, fitted with artificial ear drums
and resonators. A complete set of
teeth. with palate In platinum, costs
from $40 to 500, and for good pair
OF artificial eyes about $50 would hav"
to be paid. Thus the actual cost of
restoring a battered veteran who has
lost most of his separable parts would
be about 5000.

the cat takes Its food is sign that In

Indeed, no greater contrast in natural

for time a military instructor at
West Point. In 1860 he became assist
