London papers rejxjrted that James Rryco had refused a peerage and would fa to the United States as ambassador without changing his name, and thus b the first plain citlren to represent hla country nt Washington. Just as it came from tho French "Cham ber of Deputies, tho new church and state separation act was finally passed by the Senate, 100 to 100. This was directed against those churchmen who had re fused to accept tho original separation law of 1005, and all clergy who refused under orders from tho Pope to give over possession of their residences and church properties to tho state do so on penalty of losing pensions. While the priests have disregarded the law providing for re ligious associations, the laity hwe made the necessary declarations to protect the churches and other places of worship. It is presumed that the other ecclesi astical buildings will bo rented to the bishops and priests at a nominal fiirure. just as tho clergy who have said most without making a legal declaration to hold a public meeting have had only nominal fines Imposed upon them. The French minister of finance has ordered the mints to substitute on all coin the words "liberty, equality and fra ternity" for the old device "God protect France." Minister of Education Hriand announced that the church buildings taken possession of by the state would be de voted to educational and museum pur poses, the seminary of St. Hulplce at Paris becoming part of the Luzenbourg museum, me expelled sisters of the As sumptionlsts order left Paris for Itel- glum, In the midst of a throng of sym pathizers, who shouted: "Down with the Free Masons." HOOT AT HUMAN TAKQETB. Frenchmen nrln- nioodleaa Duellna to an Kxact Science. Shooting nt human targets merely for tho swrt derived from It and as a test of marksmanship, In other words, bloodless dueling or fencing with pis- tols, has Ihjcii made irosslhlo through the Invention by a Frenchman of n harmless wax projectile. This new di version Is really no moro serious than fencing with swords and has that spice of realism In It that tends to make any sport popular. The new bullet Is an Ingenious de vice ami required n great deal of ex periment before being perfected. The situation was thus: A heavy projec tile must necessarily have a wounding force, n light one loses Its precision and a soft bullet will be changed In shapo and describe on Irregular trajec tory; therefore a harmless projectile to bo effective must differ from nil these. The Frenchman's product Is a spherical ball of wax-fat, with a small charge, and In tests tw6nty-four balls wero lodged In succession In n rectan glo four by live Inches nt twenty yards. At n six-day tournament held In tho Tullerles the efficiency of the wax bul let was demonstrated. Tho combntantH wenr thick screens for ninsks, with heavy glass over tho eyes, and wear thick clothing to pre- vent bruising from tho Impnct of tho ba8 tm, ,8 i)ncCfJ nml hQ wnnonH nr ri.vnlvr.ru. Tho illrnninr of the combat, keeping his gnzo Ilxed uon n metronome which bents eighty to 100 times a minute, mnkes the In quiry aw In nn actual duel, "Aro you ready?" and when they reply "Yen" tho director, timing his words exactly to tho beatB of the pendulum, cries, "Flro one two three i" At the command "Fire!" tho adver saries raise their wcaixms and shoot. Tho two shots must lm niiiile before tho command "Three 1" Ab tho pnr tlelpantH In these trials wero experts they made a good average, hitting their innii six or seven times out of eight shots. Although more than 1,000 balls wero fired, there was not the slightest accident. Tho wax bullets can be used In npart incuts as well as In the open nlr with out tho Inconvenience of the lend ball of small caliber, which will probably lend to Its Introduction Into tho armies of tho various nations for prnctlco shooting.

Hut Mother Karth seems to hnvo a sense of humor and gratifies It by turning man's devices Into means for hlri discomfiture. The dnm of Assouan Is tho latest humlllntlUK Instance of n tremendous achievement producing results opposlto to those planned. That mighty engineering work was to be tho monument to the Hrltlsh oc cupancy of Egypt. It wiir to end nil famlnu In the Nile valley. There was to Iki no further dependence upon tho chances of tho seasons for tho enrich enlng overllows.

Tho Nile crops would bo per fect and tho peoplo happy each year, Instead of nt such Intervals as tho whim of tho river willed.

Tho explanation Is simple. It was not tho Nllo flood hut tho fertilizing matter held In solution that rlchem.'d tho soil.
