In 1893 the English decided to revenge
themselves upon the corsairs Of ST. Malo
who had long been preying on their com
merce. AT first they tried to lombard
that port, but finding that their shots had
little or no effect, they devised a machine
which was intended 10 utterly destroy the
town at a single blow. A special boat
was built for this purpose, win carrying
power of forty tons. II was filed VITA

ccmbushbles as pitch, resin and chopped

shells, with four openings so as TO throw
projectiles in all directions. This great

The first thing thai was heard was a

then all at once. as IL the fire had caught
in two or three magazines at the same
time, the most terrific explosion followed
Flames flashed over the sea, the windows

GALLAzTRY AND BASKET BALL.

The Boys Were Beaten by the Girls,
But one of the Team Explained
why.
New York, May 5.-When a team from
one Of the large schools In New York ac-
cepted the challenge OF girl team, they
did so with a compassionate smile and
feeling Of assured success. Girls" they
said with disdaln. "Girlsr
on the day of the contest the ten girls
arrived on the scene Of action calm, col
iected and wearing beautiful crimson
bfouaes and boomers. The boys, il must
be admitted, were a tlifie nervous To pre-
vent the fact from becoming apparent they
INDUCED in some rather bold guying Of
each other.
The match opened with astonishingly
good play on the girls part In fact from
the onset, they played a better and faster
game than the boys, and made continual
throws for their opponents basket The
bows on their side made comparatively
few tries for The girls basket. They were
graphing instead with their gallantry.
Murmurings among them soon began to be
heard 20 the effect that Ia the scrimmages
they were unable TO use their hands and
knees with their usual amount or free
but she felt such a soft and mushy thing,
! didn't know what 10 do with her and let
her go" Ills disgust may be imagined
when he realized that she only fled from
his grasp TO negotiate a goal for her side.
In the second half Of the game the boys
appeared 10 be more at their ease; they
had pulled themselves together, and
strong tendency was noticed to grab che
girls by he hair. No complaints OF rough
bne ba srIa
reciprocated by vigorous Shaping Of the
boys wrists.
Al the last. there was a sharp and ex-
citing play, but The game was fairly won
by the girls. Both teams retired in good
order and high spirits, and with an assur-
ance from the girls that their opponents
should be given an opportunity to avenge
themselves.
Afterwards one OF the boys was heard
10 sum up the match by saying. "Our
plays an right. It's our nerves that need
bracing"
