no gambling place which the police of
the Austrian capital shut up but an up
to-date dueling parlor, first class in all
its appointments and run for the conye-
nience Of the nobility and gentry of the
city and empire. There were really sew
6ral parlors, in the establishment, and
In any one of them a man could pink
or shoot a gentleman with whom he had
quarreled In the most elegant. manner
and surrounded by all the luxuries-sur-
geons furnished if desired and surgical
instruments always On hand. These
dueling parlors were kept by a woman of
heroic mold, one Frau Pietsch, who de-
rived good income from them and al
ways witnessed the gentle and joyous
passages at arms. In court she admit
ted that she had been a witness to over
two hundred duels in her rooms. She is
as well versed as any one in Vienna in
the intricacies of ~"the code, and her
expert opinion was ften sought by the
young bloods of the CITY when questions
der discussion. She was a master of the
foils and the pistol herself, but, as far
as Is known, never fought a real duel.
When she saw a really superior fencer,
however, she would ask him, after he
had concluded his more serious business,
to do her. the honor of crossing swords
with her in a friendly way. For num-
Der of years Frau Pietsch has been we'll
known in certain circles of the capital,

with an especial show of Difference and
begged the favor of meeting with him
at the house of their mutual friend, Frau
Pietsch, every one who was really in the
social swim knew what it meant The
good frau's house stood in a secluded
court, and the fashionable hour for Wis
iting it was 6 o'clock in the morning
When in the early morning hours two
carriages would drive up to the frau's
hospitable doors and the principals, the
seconds and the surgeons alight, they
would be greeted with stately courtesy
by the woman of the house and ushered
into any one Of the richly furnished par
lors which happened to be disengaged at
the time, and the little affair on which
the party had come was arranged with
neatness and dispatch. After ''honor had
been satisfied" the survivors were served
with refreshments, paid for their enter
tainment and went away. It was fas-
,cinating way Of making a living for Frau
Pietsch, for she lust adored" the duel

Pcculiuritieh of \ RAYS.

There are many curious things about
Y rays which seem to puzzle even the
scientists. Signor Briguiti. who has
been making experiments with them at
Rome. says that the visibility of a sub
stance to the eye is no criterion OF its
visibility to the Y rays. The rays CAN
not see through glass. which is trans
parent to the eye, whereas aluminium,
which is opaque to the eye. is transpar-
eut to the X rays. The rays can see a
splinter of glass in the hand, but not a
splinter of wood. Most inks are trans
parent to the rays, including printers
TAX. but some of them are Opaque. The
rays can see through poStotiice direct
Dry. but if paper with words written
on it be put in the middle of the direct
Dry the rays will reveal these words
and nothing behind them.
