The propagation of smell through

showing that the fast propagation
ordinarily observed in free space is

example, with ammonia diffusing
through a tube a meter and half
long, over two hours elapsed before
the smell could be detected at the

MAY PART FROM
HIS AMERICAN Wife
Duke and Duchess of Marlborough
Disagree.
Mr.. VANDERBILT AS cONCILIATOR.
Father of the Duchess Trying to Pre-
vent a Separation-FOr Sometime the
Couple Have Been Living Apart. Ow-
ing, 1t Is Reported, to the Disagree
able Disposition of the Duke.

London (By Cable). - Disagree
ments between the Duke and Duchess
of Marlborough, which have been
prolonged over period of Is months
'or more, English society is convinced,
will result in their separation unless
the earnest efforts now being made
by the father of the Duchess and 9th
er relatives result in a reconciliation.
w. K. Vanderbilt, the father of
the Duchess, arrived in London on
Tuesday and went directly to Blen-
helm, where his daughter is with her
children. The Duke is not at Blen-
helm, and all negotiations for
reconciliation have been conducted
through Mr.. Vanderbilt.
Incompatibility is the only reason
assigned for the strained relations
existing between the Duke and the
Duchess. This has become acute dur
ing the past Is months, and they
have been apart for increasingly long
periods. The Dukes relations with
his wife's family have not been cordial
for sometime, chiefly due, it is said,
to the disappointment to his expecta-
tions caused by the second marriage
of w. X. Vanderbilt.
OiShthCS
The Duke, according to all &C
counts, is not blessed with a very
amiable temper, and affects an in
tense dislike for Americans, which
is most trying to the Duchess, who
has many American friends of whom
she is fond.
Nothing annoyed the Duke so much
as the frequently printed reports of
hic ox-i,, ,-onnit-n1 ,1oDfGnnnf
entS from his father-in-law. He
never neglected an opportunity to
deride these rumors. When Sunder-
land House was being built it was
published that this was being done
with money furnished by w. X. Van
derbilt as a Christmas present to the
Duke and Duchess.
The Duke, angered by the publica-
tiOn, gave out a sharply wOrded de-
nial. in which he intimated that w
X. Vanderbilt had not given either
himself or the Duchess anything be-
yond the marriage settlements.
No Trouble Over Money.
Close friends of the Duke say he
is one Of those men who could never
be contented or consistently agree
able, and that the question of money
lCdllN hCCN llOuOlC lACul uOl dl all
If it were not for other sources of
disagreement. Believers in the doc
trine of heredity point out that the
Dukes father and mother both dis
played incompatibility in their mari
tai relations as proof of their theory.
The two children-the Marquis of
Blandford and Lord Iver Spencer
Churchill-are, of course, q power
full deterrent TO the SenaratiOn Of the
Duke and Duchess. Their friends
sincerely hope that a reconciliation
may be effected, although it is said
that the family of the Duchess has
foreseen the ultimate result for sew
eral years.
Because of the fact that the Duke
and Duchess have been so much be-
fore the public since their marriage.
the report of their disagreement and
possible separation naturally spread
quickly in London society.

The Spencer rifle was a powerful gun that

picked body of men was a Captain Blazer;
and only do him justice when | say he was

mand was regarded as great distinction
in the Shenandoah army. He belonged to

reputation of being a successful partizan and
a brave as we'll as humane soldier. Personally
