MORE THAN 5000 CONTESTS DUR

Nuisance Knows No Bounds in uni
verslties In That couatry-stu-
dents Slightly injured About
Face Try to Retain Scars.

Berlin-Baroness Won Escllinger,
young and romantic. was courted BY 4
student in the University Of Luebin-
gen, but before consenting to be his
wife she exacted as condition that
prior to the wedding day he must
fight a duel and get SCARED face,
Among the students in the German
universities the duelling nuisance
knows no bounds and is increasing at
such a rate that alarm has begun to
be felt by the university authorities,
but the difficulty of distinguishing be-
tween duels carried out as sport and
those in satisfaction of honor is very
great. It is computed that In 1906
more than 5000 duels were fought.
Students only slightly wounded in
the face take care to rub vinegar or
some other irritant into the wound
that the scar may retain fine, bright
red color. There is nothing the ordl-
nary student is prouder Of than these
facial adornments.
A number of German aristocrats
with Prince Lowenstein and Count Err
bach at their head. have resolved to
begin systematic agitation against
duelling among university students
and In the army. They are promised
the support Of two Of the most infiu-
ential Of the rulers of Germany, the
king Of Saxony and the grand duke Of
South Germany.
Although recent edicts OF Emperor
William have done much to stop duel
ing in the army, 1t is we'll known that
he practice still fiourishes and that
he newspapers mention only very
small proportion OF the duels which
actually are fought. The emperor s
'eal opinion of duelling has often been
discussed, Officially he is opposed to
end more than once has issued a
iecree against it, but the impression
PREVAILS that in his heart he approves
# it as manly and knightIy way OF
'ettling points of honor among sol
iiers, especially where the honor OF
an officers wife or daughter is con-
,erned. With a word the emperor
could stop the practice. but this word
ne has not yet uttered.

sunds of volts are released upon the
wings Of the air, many Of them are
expected to rush straightway to the
trolley wires and trolley poles. to he

and even TO the bayonets and metallic

striving to reach the earth and to re-
turn to the generators in the power
house by the path Of least resistance,
such as a metallic gas pipe, or a con-
duit OF a trolley wire.
Last summer at times when atmos-
phere was surcharged with natural
electricity, as well as with manufac-
tured energy from the wireless sta
ton, the marine guard at the Sands
street gate were perceptibly affected
by the fluid. They absorbed It into
their systems so that their hair stood
out on end. The metallic insignia on
their caps was tarnished and when
ever they came in contact with or
even near an old cannon or a trolley
pole there was a swapping sound as
of electricity rushing from their
sheathed bayonets to the trolley pole
or cannon.
The trolley wire on Navy street
will be freighted with the electrical
fluid this summer. And when troll
ley car comes along there may be
brilliant displays of electrical flame.
The switch in the top Of the forward
platform of the car may slam back;
there may be disturbances in the car
motors. 1t is to ward off contingen-
cies of this kind that Newman and the
other electricians Of the department
are adding their pates for ideas.

company Is carrying on extensive ex-
perlments. II has established nur-
series in Negaumee and Alger coun.

success. White pine trees grown from
seed are ready for transplanting two
