' XK large proportion of the duels in Franoe end without bloodshed. When the offense is not very serious it ia agreed beforehand that the words of command shall be given so rapidly that the duelists will not have time to take good alm. Sometimes three shots are exchanged without a hit, and then the seconds step in and-— “honor is satisfied.” At the word “Fire!” the pistol is raised instantly, and it must be discharged not later than the word “three,” so the speed with which these words are given regulates the time In which it is poe ‘sible to take aim. Therefore the speed ‘words are timed with a metronome.

Jier motics Returns Saturday following ~JUats of outgoing He Me Ancients of All Races Believed That Beautiful Sea Maidens Once Lived Maybe Our Forbears Wore Fins and Scales. Mermaids were not mythical crea« tures at all, but real, living beings, ac- cording to some sclentists, who, In support of this belief, point to the skeleton of a strange animal, half hu- man and half fish, said to be more than 4.000 years old and reported to have been found deeply imbedded in sand on the coast of China. This Skeleton, however, Bs sald to be con- siderably smaller than the proportions of a mermaid, actording to popular ronception, which pictures her with a form much the same as that of a wom- an, It is pointed out, however, that this skeleton might have belonged to a dwarf of the species, or to a kind of fish which is sald to have been com- mon in Chinese waters about 6000 B. 0. And it is concelvable that the creature might have grown .to larger mize in a different climate, The skeleton which has come to light after centuries is described aw ving had a head, shoulders and like those of a woman, as proved y the formation of the bones and Origin, Corresponding with tritcll anda siren as used in antiquity. The Chale Means called this creature Oannes, tha Chinese named her Wimpus, and even one tribe of American Indians wera said to have had a legend of the mer< maid, in which they term her Ottawes, It has been one of the unexplainable points of the mermaid legend that so ‘many peoples in such distant parts of ‘the globe believed in the reality of a creature half woman and half fish, It ‘would be hard to imagine two races further apart than the Chaldeans and the Indians, but both knew of the mere ‘maid. Whatever of truth there may be In the reported finding of this skeleton, it, at any rate, opens anew one of the most fascinating chapters In the lore of mankind.
