State League.

New Haven secured a firm hold on third place yesterday by defeating Der by in two games, The morning game was played in Derby and the after noon game in New Haven. Both were interesting contests, and were well played on New Haven's part, even though Yaw, who has made such a successful captain, was not with the team. He has secured a government position in Montreal and has stopped playing ball. He was a faithful, con- scientious player, who understood how to manage his men so as to get the best work out of them. Although he played position which before this year was unknown to him, he put up a good steady game and will be miss ed greatly.
 Duffy will captain the team and should make a good one. Robertson who has been playing right field the last few days, played at second to-day and put up a very good game. Edgar Atkins, who has played in such hard luck on the Yale team, played first in Yaw's place. He put up a good game, and if he can develope some heavy stick work, can hold the position easi- ly. His work while on bases was very good. Only seven innings were played and the game was stopped once at the end of the third by rain.

Before closing this account Of addi-

war, mention should be made OF the
ship we have bought but have not yet
acquired. She is the Albany, now
completing at the yards Of Sir William
Armstrong, at Elswick, England. She
is a sister vessel of that excellent
cruiser, the New Orleans, that has done
such effective work on the blockade OF
Santiago. Her dimensions are:
Length, $50 feet; beam, 43 feet 9
inches; mean draught, II feet. Her
displacement is about $500 tons. She
is constructed of steel, is wood sheath
ed and coppered. Her highest speed
is estimated at over 20 knots, and her
coal capacity Of 700 tons is estimated
to be sufficient to enable her to steam
5000 miles.
But the distinguishing characteristic
of the Albany and her sister, New Or

What Deserts arc Like.

The general idea of desert is a SAN
dy waste where not a living thing can
flourish. In reality nearly all deserts
are visited occasionally by severe
rainstorms, after which a gorgeous
vegetation springs UP. The grass is
rank, flowers bloom everywhere, and
the trees. send forth most beautiful
leaves and blossoms OF course this
state of things lasts butt short time. a
month Or six weeks, after which the
place is sandy and dry again and pre-
sents but waste of trackless sand.
Sometimes the rains follow each 9TH
er So closely that a desert teens with
animal life, birds .abounding, and
herds of animals wandering over the
ground. Small lakes and ponds may
be found ALSO In the west Of the Sa-
hara there are copious showers three
or four times a year, which so change
the face of the country that the tray
elers would not believe the scene to be
the Sahara of his geography.
Civil engineers say almost all des-
erts could be reclaimed by modest ex-
penditure of time and money and that
Sahara. could be easily made into an
inland sea. Some time in the future
it is probable that human ingenuity
and science will have completely
transformed the waste places of earth.

The TereSa's Armament.
We now come to the battery of this
good ship. It consists of two 11-inch
breech-loading guns, one forward and
one aft, mounted in the barbettes of 10
inch armor, covered with rounded
hood; ten 5.5-inch rapid-flre guns, ar
ranged in broadside, but so that the

fire and eight machine guns. ,
She is fitted with eight torpedo tubes,
only two Of which are submerged.
The coal bunkers of the Teresa, SO
situated as to afford additional protec-
ton to the vitals of the ship, can
carry 1,050 tons, sufficient to enable
the vessel to steam 9,700 miles.
