ambassador to the Italian court.
The ambassador, speaking in Italian,
alluded to the ancient bonds of union
which existed between the British poets
and Italy. He described how Chaucer,

sent as an ambassador to Genoa by
King Edward III, and how, to judge by
the illusions of his verses, he mace
the acquaintance of Petrarch, whom
he called his master" at Padua. Mil
ton, in 1898 visited Genoa, Leghorn,
Pisa and Florence, where he paid hom-
age to the blind and aged Galileo.
Thence the English poet proceeded to
Rome, where his name may still be
read in the register of the English
college, travelling southwark to Naples.
where he was the guest of the Mar
cheese Villa, the biographer of Tassc.
But, continued Sir Rennell Rodd, 1t was

AFFAIRS OF HONOR
Count Raymond de Castellane
Has Right Arm Wounded
in Sword Fight
One Duel Follows Quarrel in a
Skating Rink and Another
Caused by Letter
Especial Cable 10 The Call


PARIS, Nov. 2s.-Two duels were
fought this week by men who are
prominent in Paris society.
In one Count Raymond de Castellane,
a member of the family which provided
her first husband for Arna Gould,
wounded Count Jean de Lestang Parade
in the arm. Both men are well known
among Americans. They are constant
attendants at the roller skating rink,
which Americans frequent. society hav-
ing adopted roller skating as its fa-
vorite fad this season. It was at this
rink that the quarrel arose. Violent
words led to an exchange of cards.
The two counts met at the favorite
dueling place under the Ferris wheel.
Andre de Fouquieres famous as a lead :
er of germans, acted as second for
Castellane.
Though the affair supposedly had
been kept secret. there was a small
army of photographers on hand, who
snapped the men in various poses as
the combat progressed
After brief and lively interchange
Count de Lestang Parade got a cut in
the right arm and the duel was stopped.
The other duel was between Georges
Casella. and Jean Marnold. 1t grew out
of letter published in a royalist news
paper. Marnold was wounded in the
sword arm. Then Rouseier Dorcierres,
the director of the duel, who has served
in that capacity for more than 100 "af-
fairs of honor" declared that Marnold
was in a condition of inferiority and

TANK SCHEME INVENTED
TO KEEP SHIPS STEADY
Kaiser CongratuIates Man Who
Devised Clever Scheme

BERLIN, Nov. 26-The kaiser at
tended the annual meeting of German
marine architects today and congrat-
sulated Director Frahm of a Hamburg
ship building firm upon his invention to
prevent ships from rolling. He ex-
pressed the hope that the new device
would be introduced in all ships
Herr Frahm read a paper before the
society describing his invention and
illustrating with a model its proposed
operation The apparatus consists of u
shaped tanks extending through the
hold of the vessel from port to star
board. These admit water, which rises
and falls as the ship rolls, the effect
being to overcome the rhythmica1
movement of the vessel.
The tanks have been tested on two
steamers plying between German ports
and Buenos Aires. These steamers, in
rolling. showed a list Of Il degrees on
either side before being equipped with
the tanks. With the latter in use the
list was reduced to 2 degrees. The pas
sengers found that the invention added
to their comfort by steadying the ships.

BERLIN, Nov. 26.-Princess Victoria
Louise has just had her first hunt with
the emperors hounds.
She is an expert horsewoman, but her
mother. the empress, does not approve
of young girls riding to hounds and

ably on the custom in the English
hunting shires. So the princess was
not allowed to join the hunt until she
came out"
The ride was not a very long one
and there were only two or three
dykes to negotiate this time-much to
the princess disgust. for she is fond
of a good jump and rather prefers a
post and rails
After rs minutes OF fast running the
hounds had a wild boar down at the
foot of hill A smart lieutenant gave
the coup de grace and cut out the tusks,
one of which the emperor Immediately
presented to Princess Victoria as a
