DUEL OVER A sAUsAaA

French Cavalrymen Settle Differ

Two French cavalry officers have
been fighting a dues because one Of
them ate sausage in a cafe on Good
Friday. They were both station.

regiment at Mazamet, southern town,
where there had been trouble in con-

ultimo. as LIE Petit Meridional relates,
Lieut.. Gand, whose republican and
free-thinking opinions are we'll known
to his acquaintances, was in the cafe,
when he was invited by some men
whom he was in the habit Of meeting
daily to take champagne with them
On the table was a big sausage, of
which he partook, like the rest, and
this proceeding shocked some Of his

de Bourmont, called that same even.
ing at the cafe and found fault with
the proprietors for having allowed it.
This came to the ears of Lieut.. Gand
who asked for an explanation. High
words followed and Lieut. Gand sprang
on M. de Bourmont and assaulted him.
For this quarrel both the lieutenants
were punished and back they went to
their headquarters at Carcassonne, in
the neighborhood of which they fought
the inevitable duel yesterday. DR..
Sempf, the deputy major, and M. Ca
bines, the Petit MeridionaIs CORE
spondent at Carcassonne, were Mr.
Gand's seconds, while NM de la
Baume and Mignot, both lieutenants
in the dragon regiment, acted in a
like capacity for M. de Bourmont. In
the first encounter Lieut.. Gand was
wounded in the right arm and, al
though the injury is not serious, it
was enough to put an end to the duel.
The two officers left the ground with.

or ordinary hay.
The Hon. G. A. Parsons SAYS that at
the beginning of his experiments with
turbines, in 1884, high steam velocities
had to be avoided because of the cut
ting action on metals of minute drops
Of water entrained by the steam, and
hurled against the surfaces at We
locity Of $500 feet per second. This
was sufficient to erode hard file one
thirty-second of an inch in 145 hours.
But in the compound turbines now
used this erosion Is practically elm
mated, so that brass and copper blades
can be used. Advance has been made
in the reduction of steam per horse
power. In 1897 the Turbinia con-
sumed 16 pounds per shaft horse
power: in 1901 the King Edward con-
sumed the same amount; but in 1907
the Lusitania consumed only ~
pounds and the Mauritania 11h
pounds. In large turbines there is a
loss of about 30 per cent in the total
energy, but 1t may be possible to re-
ducs this.
The growing use of metallic flla-
ments for electric lamps, formed Of
the rare metals tantalum and tung-
stem, attracts much attention to those
metals. Tantalum Is pure white and

exceeds that of steel. For lamp fla.

so that the filaments have to be much

usual 110-volt lamps. Tantalum lamps
have high efficiency and long life, and
give a brilliant white light. Sometimes
when filament breaks 1t can be
mended by tapping the lamp while
the current is on. The ends coming
into momentary contact are welded.
