approaching the chances for success ara not first
class. Representative Olcott Gad conference with
the President today. which the subject was dis
cussed and suggestions were made for Il hHal eHort
to secure tho much needed appropriation.
we Will do our best to hitch the appropriation
or at least part II. the Postoffice Appropra-
ton bin IN the Senate" said Mr. Olcott after his
talk with the President. II could get only
enough money to start the foundations and pre-
pare plans for the whole building something would
be accomplished. OF course we arc laboTing under

arate bill there would at once be a howl from n
Thousand other localities, which would demand that
their claims be heard and needed. But II VIII be a
great saving the government 10 provide the
money right away. The site FOR the new post

terest on that big would be wasted. But this
argument, good u II is. is not TO be mentioned In
the same breath with the loss that the Postoffce
Department viii sustain by being kept out OF the

of Mr. OVerStreet, chairman OF the House commit
tee, that the amendment carrying the money bs
allowed to remain uumolested by the confcrrees'

A SCHOOL, OF DUELING
Frenehmen Taught How to Behave on
the Field Of Honor.

Although dueling has long been
laughed out Of court in this coun-
try, our continental friends by no
means share our opinion of this
method of settling affairs Of honor,
saws a writer in the Wide World
Magazine.
Though the French duel is usual
ly carried through without any seri-
Gus injury to either c%ombatant, it
is regarded with grave oonsidera-
ton, and every detail has to be
attended to mos punctiliously.
In order that gentlemen who may
be called upon to defend themselves
at the point of the pistol may have
some training for the ordeal, there
has been established in Paris a
school Of dueling, one prominent
member being ex-President Casimir-
Perier.
This academy is conducted by Dr..
de Villers, and combats frequently
take place there by way Of practice.
In these mimic duels wire masks
are worn to protect the face and
bullets made of wax are used, so
that no injury may be sustained by
the eombatants.
In all other respects, however, the
conduct of the affair is carried
through as on the field of honor, so
that when the time comes-if ii
ever does come-for the scholars ia
take part in a serious duel they may
acquit themselves with credit tc
themselves and disaster to their adj
yersary-although this latter point
is not of much importance.

ga curious story is told of a cat

underground stables of a coal mine.
It was always to be found in the
stall belonging to an old donkey

"One day, owing to the careless
ness Of its driver in unloading it,

and was quite unable to perform its
daily work.
"For nearly a fortnight the
donkey lay in agony in its stable,

steal back again, and when the
donkey died as a result of its in.

shining light of the New York bar
and had no small idea Of his own
Importance. On one occasion he
was arguing a case before the court
of appeals when a country lawyer
asked Charles 0'Conor the name of
the gentleman who was speaking.
"That, sir" replied Mr.. O'Conor,
who was rather nettled at something
Lord had said, "is Daniel Lord, Jr..

FACTS ABOUT THE OCEANS
Interesting Things Concerning Their
Nature and Qualities

If a box six feet deep was filled
with sea water, which was then al
lowed to e%yaporate, there would be
two inches Of salt left in the bottom
of the box. Taking the average
depth Of the ocean to be three miles,
there would be a layer of salt 40
feet thick covering the bottom, in
case all the water should evaporatc.
In many places, especially in the
far north, the water freezes from
the bottom upward.
Waves are deceptive things. To
look at them one would gather the
impression that the whole water
Travelled. This, however, is not so,
The water stays in the same place,
but the motion goes on. In great
storms waves are sometimes 30 feet
high and their crests travel so miles
an hour. The base Of a wave (the
distance from valley to Valley is
usually considered as being Is
times the height Of the wave.
Therefore, a wave 25 feet high
would have a base extending 3i5
feet.

the shore is II tons to the square
