The Somerset House registers testify to the existence of a Mineral Waters. d Frosty Winter and an Alfred Day Weeks. There is something to be said in favor of naming children in the order of their arrival - Primus, Secundus, etc.-but it is unfortunate for a we'll known Canadian named Cum Der that it should have fallen to his lot to be Quintus.

A Rapid Heart Beat.

Along with many other discov- cries of greater or less importance scientific men have proved the law that the rapidity of the heart beat is in inverse ratio to an animals size. Thus in a man it is about seventy-two to the minute, whereas in the elephant it is only thirty, and in the horse forty. The dogs pulse, on the other hand, counts about ninety beats to the minute. and the rabbits over l5O. Most remarkable of all, the heart pulsations of a mouse have recently been counted and recorded by an ingenious ma chine and found to number nearly 70V every minute.

OXEN AS POLICEMEN.
Curious Methods of Caring For Span.
 ish Fighting Bulls.

Whatever ones views may be in regard to bullfighting there is one feature of the national sport of Spain which is particularly interest ing to the visitor and sightseer. The bulls for the arena are usually kept in large paddocks, wild and unfettcred, for, as Sir Albert Rol- lit, who has visited one of these paddocks near Seville, says, "The animals know nothing of ropes or chains during lifetime"
 It is dangerous business, how ever, entering these paddocks. Sir Albert stood some fifty paces from the bulls and in his interesting let ter describing the scene, published in Country Life, says, eve entered with our lives in our hands"
 The bulls, however, are kept in order by d cordon of tame oxen, which, if bull attempts to escape, at once prevents it doing so. acting skillfully and effectively as d species of bovine police. "The night be- fore the spectacle in the bull ring at Seville" to quote Sir Albert, "the bulls are driven, still quite at large, by picadors along the boule- wards, intermixed with the oxen and restrained only by them. On my asking if there must not be danger to the public using the boulevard, the reply was that occasionally a bull might hide in the bushes of the central gardens and fall foul of a workman in the morning, but such incidents did not seem to be regard ed as matters of much importance compared with the popularity of the national amusement. At times many of the aristocracy and others of both sexes ride on horseback in ad- vance of the bulls, which is regard ed as fine, but rather dangerous sport.
 "When at or near midnight the bulls thus enter the bull ring, the scene is one of great turmoil, noise and excitement. In rush the driven animals, bulls and oxen, hclter skel- ter, motley crowd of men and beasts, veritable pandemonium. The last scene is most interesting of all. Stables with open doors en- compass the arena, in front of each of which is a sliding door and at the back a lighted lantern. These lan- terms the bull makes for one after another, smashing them and ex- tinguishing the lights, and as each light is observed by an attendant to be put out, he slips down the door of the stable and the bull is thus cncaged and ready for the Spanish holiday of the morrow. succcssively the lights disappear, and when all are out and the doors of the stables closed the police oxen are driven out of the bull ring to return to their more peaceful pad docks and to render similar serv- ice to other bull and other dcvotees of the bull ring.

DECATUR'S FATAL DUEL.
His Memorable and Dramatic Meeting With Commodore Barron.

His Memorable and Dramatic Meeting
 With Commodore Barron.
 On March g, 1920, was fought one of the most memorable duels in the annals of the United States. Commodore Decatur and Commo- dorc Barron met on the fatal field near Bladcnsburg that day. Both participants were wounded, Decatur mortally, dying within a few hours after the encounter.
 The causes which led to the ill feeling between these two naval heroes have never been accurately deternined, but it is generally sup posed that Decatur's harsh criticism of Barron on account of the latter not returning from abroad to take part in the war brought about the breach. Certain it is that Dccaturs $ words were repeated to Barron, and a correspondence between the two ensued, which probably resulted in the challenge. The impending duel was kept profound secret. Only a few of the most intimate friends of the respective participants had even an nkling of it. Decatur was the first to arrive upon the scene. He was accompanied by Commodores Rodgers and Porter and several oth CT friends. Barron arrived few minutes later. The combatants bowed stif1ly to each other and stood waiting for their friends to measure off the ground and make the final arrangements.
 q hope, sir" said Barron as they took their places, ''that when we meet in another world we shall be better friends than we have been in this"
 Decatur is said to have haughtilv regarded his adversary moment and then replied:
 "Sir, have never been your enc my"
 A moment later the word was given, and two shots rang out simul- taneously. Barron fell almost i'm mcdiatcly. Decatur straightencd himself, but the pistol fell from his grasp, and in moment he was upon the grecnsward writhing in agony. He was raised by his friends and carried nearer the road, where Barron Was lying.
 w wish 1 had fallen in the serv- ice of my country" Decatur nut 1 tered, whereupon Barron looked up. l "Everything has been conducted most honorably," he said. Then, turning his eyes upon De catur:
 q am mortally wounded. Com modorc Decatur, forgive you from the bottom of my heart As Decatur was being lifted into a carriage Bainbridgc, whom De catur had once rescued from Moor ish prison, stopped down and kissed his cheek.
 Decatur was driven slowly back to the city and carried into his resi- dcnce on Lafayette square, where he died few hours aftcrward.
 Barron ultimately recovered from his injury, but it is said the mem- ory of the fatal duel darkencd his life ever afterward He lived until the year 1851 and had charge of several vessels. At his own request he was court martialcd upon the charges made against him by De- catur and exonerated.-Exchange.
