For these men all knew that De la Tour
was bungler. Being a woman, al
first her nerve failed her, and she came
very near losing her life by single
thrust of her adversary. The thought
of her two innocent children, who
would be rendered motherless II she
did not control herself, made her per-
fectly cool. aud, though she did not do
what she was capable Of doing, she DID
all that was necessary. She dreaded
killing her adversary or even wound
ing him. She therefore sent his weap'
on flying In the air.
De Fontayne picked 1t up with the
intention of continuing the fight but
his second interfered. claiming that
il was not now his part to fight. BY

Yvon had worn her mask up to this

with icy sarcasm:

OBLIGING CRABS.
Pysssnt Their Claws to Fishers Who
Shake Hands With Thorn.

Present Their Claws to Fishers Who
Shake Hands With Thorn.
Visitors In Seville see women carry
ing baskets full of crabs claws. The
claws are cooked, and people nibble
at them more for fun than sustenance,
just as Russians nibble sunflower
seeds What becomes of the rest Of
this crustacean especially If he is q
crawtish, of his tail?
AS n matter of fact the crawilsh has
no part In the business. The claws
are taken from n salt water crab
which lives along the shores Of Mo
rocco, Spain and Portugal. Each little
crab, with Its one little mate, has
cave for home, and, adopting the
eastern estimate of the other sex, he
usually keeps his wife shut inside the
cave, meanwhile staying about the
threshold himself and making brave
show with his big claws.
When the tide runs out the crab
fishers prowl along the beach looking
for crab holes. Either the crab Is
stalking up and down seeking what
he may devour and thus showing
still at home, and the size of his door
way indicates the size of the house
holder. In one case the fisherman cuts
off his retreat by blocking his front
door with mud; in the other case he
digs him out. Anyway, he deprives
him of his pincers and sets him at
liberty to grow some more.
Right here appears the quaintest fea-
ture Of the whole affair, for the pin
GERS are not torn away from the crab
at all, Instead he presents them to
the fisherman, perhaps even with his
compliments. 1t is fact easily de-
monstrable that the crab can detach
his claw by muscular effort, thus max
ing no hemorrhage. but leaving the
stump in such condition that new
claw is soon grown. The fishermen
simply take the crab by the hand,
whereupon 1t let's go, leaves the claw
with them and romps off home with
ont it.-Chicago Record Herald.

PRESSURE OF WATER.

cred Into Ocean Depths.
A bottle partly filled with fresh water
and tightly corked can be lowered into
ocean depths, and ON being raised to
the surface 1t win be discovered ON
opening il that the fresh water has
been replaced by salt.
This really extraordinary phenome-
non Is explained in the following way:
The pressure of water increases as
the distance from the surface In
creases. Thus at the distance of n fool
beneath the surface the pressure of the
water a square inch will be about half
pound; Mt distance of, say, 200
feet II viii be 1875 pounds TO the

sure of the atmosphere is little over
fourteen pounds. Thus IL bottle con-
tanning air were lowered thirty feet be

ter would more than counterbalance
the pressure of the air, Ordinarily al
this depth therefore, the pressure OF
water should be sufficient to drive the
cork within the bottle, but the cork
is tightly wedged in position. To
squeeze it within the bottle 1t. too
must first be compressed. and also

Lieutenant Jacques de Fontayne to
mortal combat for having despatched
his boots. Madame promised to deliver
the message. and the officer withdrew.
When De la Tour returned to his
quarters his wife asked him to drive
with her TO their country place near
Paris to assist her in laying out some
changes she wished to make. Jean
consented. and the two drove to a
house and grounds near st. Cloud.
Jean was surprised to see several
servants there. including Francois,
whom his wife had brought with her
from her own family when she was
married. WON took her husband to a
room on the top story, with but one
window near the ceiling, and, while
telling him of the change she proposed
to make in 1t. suddenly stepped into
the hall. Jean heard the key turned
I'm the door and his wife going down
the staircase He was prisoner.
In few minutes Francois came up
aud told his master that Nine. de la
Tour desired that her husband should
remain In seclusion for few days,
and she hoped he would not worry.
He would be given whatever he wish
ed for. De la Tour, at loss to know
the cause of his Imprisonment, was
thunderstruck.
Nine. de la Tour, returning to Paris,
sent word In the name Of her husband
that In view of the cardinals order
he would only meet Lieutenant de
Fontayne ON the promise of all con-
cerned not to diyulge the affair and
would insist on fighting masked.
reply came consenting to the
terms and asking that De la Tour
would name his seconds In order that
the terms might be agreed upon. In
reply to this word was sent that De
la Tour, fearing a second might be-
tray him to the prime minister, would
trust no one with his interests. He
would appear ut dawn the next MORN
ing at the village of ", few miles
from Paris, ready to fight De Fon-
tayne with rapiers. The reason given
for this unusual course was that De
la Tour was more afraid of losing his
life by the cardinals AK than De Fon-
tayne's sword An assent to this was
received by Nine de la Tour. and the
prellminarics were closed.
The next morning WON. dressed In
a suit of clothes belonging to her
husband. was driven to ". arriving

but two seconds attending him.
Pardon. monsieur" said one OF
these men. but II Is not usual for af-
fairs like this to be fought out alone
by the principals. Since you have no
seconds. In case you disable Lieuten-
snt de Fontayne II is expected that
you will fight with me. and IL you dis
able me you will have to fight my
confrere."
Yvon. not daring to speak lest her
voice betray her. simply nodded an as
sent She wore her husbands rapier
at her side and, drawing 1t. put herself
in position of defense.
Now. Nine. de la Tour, though she
expected to meet skillful swordsmen,
knew that II she showed her own pro.

set of racing wings. They were the
smallest surfaces It was possible to
fly with even at the maximum speed,
and We're made with as little span
from tip to tip as was absolutely nee
essury, so that there should be the
smallest conceivable head resistance
when the machine was In motion.
On the day when the Gordon Bennett
trials took place had had these little
wings put on. l had never flown with
them, but knew that 1t would be use

try to compete against the two 100

The Greatest Danger In Flying.
In flying an aeroplane the greatest
danger comes from the constant tend
cncy of the machine to tip over to one
side or the other A gust of wind, a
movement of the aviator's body-any-
thing and everything tends 10 throw 1t
Off It's balance. and the minute 1t be-
gins to tip downward on one side 1t
must be righted
There are two ways OF doing this.
A mechanism Is provided by which
the rear edges of the ends of the
planes can be pulled down a few
inches. thus offering on that side where
this depressing or wrapping" Is done

consequently developing a greater lift
