use Of aluminium for the building Of ships and for

that tho defending craft could be built OF

How IN. clubs stand.

The Norfolk team outplayed the Blue
birds yesterday afternoon, and won the
game with ease. There was not large
crowd IN attendance TO see Richmond de-
feated, and but little interest was mani
tested in the game by those who were
present. There was absolutely no root
ing: indeed there was nothing TO furnish
an excuse for any sort Of noisy demon
strasion.
The Richmond boys played a llstless.
dont.oare-a-rap sort OF game, and as
Norfolk put up silt-edged exhibition.
the result was assured long before the
game was ended. one OF the troubles
Richmond encountered was Bishop. His
delivery was troublesome throughout, and
though he did not appear to exert HIM
SELF ne was effective. and the Birdlings
were able TO hit him only four times, and
then their hits amounted TO but little.
- SCHMIDT WAS EASY.
on the other hand, Schmidt was in the
box for Richmond and IL was with the
greatest ease that the seashore lads
pounded him all over the field. Almost al
will did they hit him, and almost at Will
did they make runs.
In the first inning Richmond made a
run. and the few cranks who witnessed
the contest began to conJure up thoughts
of a victory. They had other things to
think OF very shortly thereafter. how
ever, for when Norfolks heroes came In
for their first so al the bat they also
made a run, and tied the score. For four
innings IL was nip and tuck though the
visitors were putting up the strongest
game, yet they were unable TO get any OF
their men further than third.
TWO LONG DRIVES.
In the fifth, however. after one man
was out, klusman started the fun with
two-bagger into centre-fleld. He was sent
10 third on put-out, and then, when
Ifnnmiler drove one over HargroVe
head for three bags. Klusman scored.
Fox was the next man up and he drove
one 10 Dundon. which that worthy jug
gIed. and Pfanmiller crossed over.
This PIT Norfolk two runs 10 the good
but still she was not satisfied. 1t was
dead easy for the CLANS TO make hits. for
anything that went towards third bag
kept on out into the outfield. Neither
Dundon nor Klopf guarded their territory
with any degree of success. Notwith-
standing the ease with which they made
hits, IL was not until the eighth that the
visitors increased their lead. and then
they got another run, the f1nal one of the
game. Hardesty bringing II in.
DIDN'T TRY TO PLAY.
Richmond apparently made no effort to
recover the lead. The Diuebirds seemed
20 take II for granted that they could not
hit Bishop and they just stabbed blindly
at the bali and walked back TO their posi-
lions In the field. II was this kind Of
work which rendered the game uninter-
esting. but all OF this is shown in the
score. Here II is:

THE INLAND SEA.
How Marine Animals Were Driven
Together as the Water Dried Up.


popular Science Monthly.)
In the latter part OF the Mesozoic age
there was a great inland OCEAN, spreading
over a large part OF the present Conu-
nent. The lands then above water were
covered with fora peculiar 10 the times,
and were inhabited BY some OF the sni-
mails which later distinguished the Ceno-
zoic age. In the seas were reptiles, fishes,
and turtles OF gigantic proportions, arm
ed for offence or defence. There were also
oysterlike bivalVes, with enormous shells,
or feet in diameter the meat OF which
would have fed many people. In time this
great ocean, swarming with vigorous lie,
disappeared. Mountain ranges and plains
gradually arose, casting forth the waters.
and leaving the monsters to die and
bleach in tertiary suns. AS the waters
remaining divided into smaller tracts they
gradually lost their saline stability. The
stronger monsters gorged on the weaker
tribes. until they, too, stranded on rising
sand-bars, or lost vitality and persisted
as the waters freshened. In Imagination
we can picture the strongest bereft OF
their food supply AT last and dering
In the shallow pools until all remained
mired or starved. Ii would be interesting
TO know how much OF the great cretaee-
GUS ocean forms a part, IL any, Of the
vast oceans of to-day.
