COLORFUL DUELS.
Queer lnitiatory Ordeal of New Art
Students In Paris.

The most curious of the many
practical jokes perpetrated by the
art students in the Latin quarter is
kind of initiatory ordeal which
the two newest comers of class
are sometimes compelled to under
90 by their fellow students Of the
Beaux Arts. 1t is a painters duel,
in which neither combatant, no
matter how small his experience
nor how great his nervousness, need
fear for fatal termination.
The reluctant duelists are provid-
ed with tall stools and seated oppo-
site each other at arms length.
! They wear old clothes, and in the
hand of each is placed a large paint
brush charged with coDr, the one
dipped in prussian blue, the strong
est and most vivid of azure tints,
and the other in carmine lake,
which is fine rich crimson. The
word is given, and the two men
begin to daub. Being usually stran-
gers to one another and without the
least cause of quarrel, they COM
monty show at first great deal of
caution and consideration, not to
say timidity, and do not make much
effort to inflict conspicuous streaks
or to touch each others face.
Soon, however, one or the other
gets smear which he does not like
and attempts to retailiate upon his
opponent. Then the contest wakes
warm. The spectators hasten to
take sides and urge on their favor
ite with shouts. cheers and encour-
aging cries. The tall stools totter;
the wet brushes spatter; the antag-
onists daub more and more fercely
and furiously until frequently men,
stools and all 60 down together in
a struggling red and blue heap upon
the floor. The duelists are then as
sisted to their feet, shake hands,
laugh at each others appearance
and adjourn to the laVatory, where
they good naturedly help each other
to remove the traces of the conflict.
The knight of the red brush is
found to have smeared his adver-
sary until he might pass for a hero
of the goriest field Of history, while
the victim of the blue brush, if only
blue blood were fact instead of
figure, might pose for survivor of
an equally desperate fight.
1t speaks well for the temper and
good comradeship Of the students
that so rough a kind of fun ends
where it begins, in the mock duel,
and never. it is said. leads to resent
ment or i'll will.-New York Press.

The Round Earth.

The globular form of the earth was
not discovered. but simply redlscov-
cred, by the moderns. The globular
form of the earth was taught by Thales
OF Miletus as early as GAO B. G.. and
Pythagoras. about $50 b. c., demon
strated from the varying attitudes Of
the stars that the earth must be round.
Arisarchus of Samos maintained as
long as $50 b. @. that the earth was
globe shaped and turned on its own
axis. So far as we moderns are con.
cerned the rotundity of the earth was
first proved beyond all cavil by the
great voyage Of circumnavigation by
Magellan in 1922. Since that time there
has been but one side to the question
Of the earth's shape.
