A Bismarck Duel
A duel in which Bismarck was once
engaged had a very amusing origin
It occurred when lie was chief secre
tary of the rrussian legation at Frank
fort Ho went much into society and
one Christmas attended a big ball
During the height of the festivities
Bismarcks attention was directed to
an exceedingly pompous individual who
strutted about the room This was a
M do Clancy a noted French duelist
Later on this important individual
took part in the dance but having
omitted to leave his hat at the proper
place had perforce to hold it out al
most at arms length while he danced
The spectacle tickled Bismarck im
mensely and as the Frenchman came
sailing majestically along Bismarck
stepped forward and dropped a coin
into the hat A duel was one of th
nest days events Though it was with
pistols Bismarck escaped unhurt while
his adversary was wounded j

At Washington senators not only
smoke in committee rooms but in the
senate itself Often a Washington or

ipatetic speech attending to his cigar
at regular Intervals and followed by a
crowd of reporters eagerly taking down

In
Herding Sheep
In the west they tell this story about
the east perhaps by way of retalia
tion for some of the tall stories about
the west that they tell down east
A young man just graduated from
an eastern Institution of learning
went to the west and applied at u
large ranch for n job
What can you do asked the
owner
Nothing much but Im willing to
work and can learn replied the eager
applicant
Know how to ride a horse
No I never rode one In my life
Rather n slim chance for you to be
useful here Im afraid
What have you to do for a man If
he could ride
Herding sheep
I think I could get along at that
very well without a horse
Young man Im afraid you dont
know much about this business I have
a large ranch here and some thou
sands of sheep A man without a horse
would make a pretty poor show
Well Ill tell you when I was at
college I was the champion sprinter
of the Institution I believe I could
do you some good service I have a
long distance record too I wish youd
give me a chance and let us see what
I can do
With a good natured but pitying
smile the ranchman said all right and
bade his new man to get some supper
turn in and be ready to go to work
early the next morning
When the employer rose next morn
ing he saw the new employee coming
in from the direction of the sheep
quarters Somewhat surprised at the
young fellows enterprise in getting up
so early he accosted him
Well youre up and ready to go to
work are you
Oh my yes Ive been at work
for two or three hours
Then the ranchman noted that the
tenuertoot was dressed In working
clothes a sweater and already looked
rather flushed What have you been
doing he asked
Driving those lambs into the cor
ral
What lambs I have no Iambs This
is not the lamb season
Well I chased eighty five of them
in and I tell you I had a time of it
too
The ranchman went with the young
tenderfoot to see what the story he
told was about
And sure enough huddled up togeth
er frightened and tired out were
eighty live wild jackrabbits
All right young man I think youll
do said the ranchman Chicago

QUEER LIZARDS
Have the Power of Sooutina
Blood From the Eyes
That certain lizards have the power
to emit a stream of blood from riioir
eyes has been a tradition of the south
west from time out of mind but many
scientists have classed it with the jew
el in the toads head and the hoop
snake Iiaymond Lee Ditmars curator
of reptiles In the New York Zoological
Eociety made exhaustive research to
ascertain what foundation in fact if
any there is in the tradition of tlw
blood spouting lizards Ue had nearly
made up his mind that It was purelv
mythical when he came upon a star
tling demonstration of its truth He
had received a particularly line
speci
men of the Mexican horned lizard and
after photographing it proceeded to
measure it The result he tells in his
Reptile Book
The latter process he
says seem
ed to greatly excite the creature It
finally threw the
head slightly up
ward the neck became rigid the eyes
uuigeu irom tne sockets when there
was a distinct sound like that pro
duced if one pressed the tongue
against the roof of the mouth and
forced a small quantity of air forward
This rasping sound consuming t
fraction of a second was accompanied
by a jet of blood at great pressure
It hit the wall four feet away at
the same level as that of the reptile
The duration of the flow of blood ap
peared to be about one and a half
uuu ana toward its termination
the force gradually diminished as
uutea oy a course of drops down the
wall and along the floor to a position
almost under the spot where the rep
tile had been held The stream of
blood seemed to be as fine as horse
hair and to issue from the eyelid
which was momentarily much swollen
For some time after the perform
ance the eyes were tightly closed and
nothing could induce the lizard to open
them Within two minutes after it
w piacea on the ground the
- wiL oi uie eyeballs and the
swelling of the eyelids had disap
peared
Most surprising was tho iminf
blood expended The wall and floor

spots about one eighth of an inch in

THE PAY CAR

The good old days are gone In these

railroad

by check Of the pay car and its luxu
rious travels C F Carter writes In the
American Magazine as follows
A metal coin

No wonder your eyes stuck out until
you could have used them for hat

And all the time an exquisitely mu
sical tinkle tinkle clink clink -welled
up from coin rack
and counter In re

paymaster Talk about Beethovens
symphonies
If it were not for that strong wirr
screen you could have touched that
fascinating tray For the Infinitesimal
fraction of a second a wicked thought
flitted through your brain Then yon
almost fainted as your roving eye
stared down the barrel of a monstrous
revolver It was only in a rack but it
was within easy reach of the paymas

in the handiest

Hurriedly your vagrant wits bnskd

Power of tho Waves
The power of waves says M Brou
nin in La Nature is the
sum of two ef
forts one dynamic and
due to the or
bital movement of the water particles
tne other static and dependent on the
height of the center of gravitv of the
mass raised above its normal position
Theory and
observation seem to show
that the total power of
waves is divid
ed equally between
these static and
dynamic effects If a body of water
meets the wall of a structure there Is a
shock and this Is most violent at the
