Mimic Pistol Dueling.

Mimic pistol dueling, now popular
in England and on the continent. has
become possible through the inven-
ton of DR.. Devillers of wax bullets
with cartridges to fit the modern
French dueling pistol and the regula-
ton army revolver. The cartridge is
fitted with cap which contains suf-
ficient charge to insure accuracy of
fire, and the projectile strikes the OBJ
ject at which it is aimed with consid-
cradle force. The combatants, how
ever, wear wire masks with thick glass
to protect the eyes, and they are at

lection of body and limbs Affixed to
the pistol in front of the trigger is a
steel shield for the hand.
Pistol dueling is a sport in. which
physical fitness and self discipline are
essential to success. 1t is necessary to
be a good shot and something more.
for there is considerable difference
between taking a deliberate aim at a
fixed target and shooting at an armed
opponent at the word of command
within a period of about second and

THE BUFFALO.
A Good Surveyor and One of Our First
Roadmakers.

A Good Surveyor and One of Our First
Roadmakers.
The buffalo was a good surveyor. 1t
did not reason out why 1t should go In
certain direction, but Its sure instinct
took it by the easiest and most direct
paths, over high lands and low, to the
salt ticks and water courses which
were its goal The authors Of 1.-THE
Story OF the Great Lakes" Edward
Charming and NJ. F. Lansing, sag that
the buffalo observed something like
the principles which today govern the
civil engineer.
As soon as the explorer landed on
the southern shores of Lakes Erie,
Michigan and Superior he came upon
buffalo roads or traces" Sometimes
these were narrow bitches, a foot wide
and from six inches to two feet deep,
trodden down by the impact of thou
sands Of hoofs as herd after herd of
buffaloes had stamped along in single
file behind their leaders.
When the first path became too
deep for comfort because of repeated
travel the buffaloes would abandon 1t
and begin a second path alongside the
first, and thus the frequented traces
would be gradually widened.
Again, an immense herd Of these
heavy animals would crash through
the forest, breaking In their rapid
progress a broad, deep road from one
feeding ground to another. As this
route would be followed again and
again by this and other herds, 1t would
become level and hard as rock, SO
that there was great rejoicing In pio-
neer settlements when the weary road
makers, struggling with log causeways
and swampy hollows. came upon a
firm, solid buffalo trace. Nor was this
an uncommon experience.
The line of many of these roads is
followed today by our railroads and
canals. as it was followed by our log
roads and turnpikes.
The buffalo followed the level of the
valley He swerved round high points
whenever 1t was possible, crossing the
ridges and watersheds at the best nat
ural divides and gorges. and he crossed
from one side of q stream Of water to
the other repeatedly In order to avoid
climbing up from the level after the
fashion Of our modern loop railways.

real live, juicy oyster.

In mis- agony. He begged some one to

He grasped the bottle with avidity
and took draft. His condition, which
before had been alarming to the vic

the perpetrators of the hoax.
The man gasped and choked. He
became black In the face, and tears
were running down his face, when
some one thrust a bottle of oil into
his mouth, and he was forced to drink
copious drafts.
The effect was magical. The oyster
was evidently dead" He became
more composed, and when he finally
recovered his breath he said:
