DueIing.

It is generally agreed that dueling
took it's rise from the judicial combats
of the Celtic nations. The first formal
duel in England was that between Will
liam Count of Eu and Godfrey Bay
nard about the year 1906. Dueling
was at its height in France about
1900, though it was pretty popular as
late as 1928, in which year Francis
I. sent a challenge to Charles V. In
England dueling was checked in the
army in 1892 and gradually disappear
ed from civil life with the coming Of
more enlightened public opinion. Duel
ing was never as popular in this coun-
try as it was in Europe, but never
theless many famous duels have been
fought here. The code may be said
to have received its death sentence
when Burr killed Hamilton. The de-
cline after that was steady until it

An AGED Icebero.

''When was in the arctic" once
said General \. W. Greedy. ST found
an aged foe berg in which the yearly
stratifcations Of growth could be
traced with great accuracy. l meas
ured them and by careful calculation
was able to discover that the oldest
layers of that ice probably dated back
to the years when Solomon was build
ing his temple. That temple, massive
as it was. has utterly persisted. and
men differ as to its exact site. But
that ice was still in existence when I
was in the polar seas. and it may be
there yet. You see. bit of fresh water
ice, once immersed in q salt sea that
has a constant temperature of about
twenty-eight degrees, cannot very we'll
perish. 1t is in a sort of perpetual
cold storage plant, colder than its own
melting point. And that accounts for
the long endurance of what in our
climate would have lasted perhaps but
a few brief seconds"
