that when young man the great
astronomer fought n duel in which
he had the misfortune TO lose that
important member and was obliged
to wear n silver one instead, says the
Washington Post.
"This," DIR. Bolton stated, 'he was
in the habit of removing at night
when he slept, and one night his
favorite. dog managed to gain pos
session of his masters silver nose,
which, nfter he had played with it all
night long. was of very little service
the day following. Tycho was in
great distress the next morning
when. after an hour search, he
found his precious nose battered and
chewed out of all shape and service.
In order, therefore. to avoid future
accidents Tycho hied him to the sill
