THE FRENCH DUEL.
A Bluff That Won and Averted Com
bat With Swords.

A Bluff That Won and Averted a Com
bat With Swords.
Another duel story from Paris The
principals were an actor and jour
nali:st, the latter being the challenger.
Now the actor was a stranger to the
sword save as stage property, but
the man of the pen was a proficient
in the fencing art, all of which gave
the actor pause until he bethought him
to enlist the services Of a fencing mas
ter to repair the deficiency of his edu-
cation. What he wanted, he explain
ed, was to be taught just enough to
enable him to fight.
The fencing master did his best, but
soon shook his head and declared the
case was hopeless. But" he said,
"you shall not risk your life. will
prevent your duel with our friend, who,
as I suppose you know. is one of the
most formidable duelists in France
And then the actor was presented
with large photograph of the fenc-
ing master bearing this legend in star
ing red ink: ITO the best fencer have
ever made and the best pupil have
ever had"
When the journalists seconds called
on the actor the first thing they saw was
this warning photograph. Nor was its
lesson lost, for, not wishing to risk the
life of their friend, they managed to
extract form Of apology which the
actor seemed somewhat reluctant to
grant.
So the climax does not disturb the
tradition Of the French duel.-Argo-
naut.

Alcohol vapor In Pneumonia.

A small metal box containing an

ton from which much is expected as
last aid treatment of diseases such
as pneumonia when it becomes neces-
sary to keep up the hearts action un-
til the lung symptoms subside. For
some time it has been recognized that
the best way to supply alcoholic slim
ulant to the laboring heart in pneu-
monia is via the lungs in the form of
vapor. Now Professor Leonard Hill
Of the London hospital has invented a
little apparatus by which a mixed va
por of oxygen, water and alcohol is
carried directly to the lungs. whence
it reaches the heart from the pulmo-
nary veins. Thence the stimulant is
