HORDE OF VANDALS
Taking Everything Movable
From Steamer CastiIian.
Experienced Seamen Say That the
Steamer Can Be Saved.
That Is. il the Shore Pirates Leave Anything to

Halifax. N s, March 19.--The steam

steamer Castilian. she had an expert

succeeded in landing 100 head of cattle,

Members Of the Delta's crew report two
things in particular
First that the Castilian may be float

at the wreck beggars description.
They say the stranded steamer is ly-
ing comfortable and apparently not
any more damaged than when she went
on the ledge. The hull appears to rest
in "A cradle in the rocks alongside the
edge and was unaffected by recent

WaterviIIc High Baseball Matters.

The coming season promises to be
one when the high school boys viii
have one of the strongest ball teams
in the history of the school. The play
crs have been at work in the gym
nasium for some little time now. and
have shown up unusually well. There
have been nearly 20 men at work Wild
have taken an unusual interest in the
game.
One of the places where the greatest
Improvement has been shown is in the
pitchers box. 1t was thought when
Captain Foley left the school that the
team would be so weakened that there
would not be the slightest difficulty of
a strong team having things all their
own way with Waterville. as far as
the batting went 1t has turned out,
however. that Allen has improved
wonderfully over last year. Not only
has he unusual control of the ball, but
he has developed speed that is quite
unusual for this time of the year
Reynolds will probably play as the
substitute pitcher, and is showing up
in excellent form. Between the two il
is thought the team will not be weak
ened as much as was at first expected
Leslie Williams. who has had his
face behind the catcher's mask for
some little time, is proving just as re-.
liable as ever, and will be fully able
to take care of Allen when behind the
bat.
Bean is scheduled for first base,
Brown for second. Reynolds for short
stop when he is not pitching. Twad-
dele for third. with McCorkel. Glazier
ard Hayden in the out field.
There are an unusual number of sub
stitutes, all of whom are showing up
in such good shape that there is slight
question that they will he able to push
some of those scheduled for positions
in an uncomfortable manner.
Among the substitutes are: Buck.
Abbott, Grey. Pooler, Tyler and Arthur
Vose.
The game with Co5urn is looked on
as the game of the year, and there IS
every indication that it will not be un-
til the close of the ninth inning that 1t
will be decided whether or not Coburn
has the better team.

A Beetle That Cuts Metal.

There is no use trying to keep in
confinement curious little creature
known as the metal cutting beetle.
Not long ago an entomologist caught
one of these beetles and, unaware of
its peculiar ability for saving through
anything in its way, put it in cald-
beard box. Soon firing of solitary con-
tinement, or probably thinking its cap
tor had forgotten to provide it with a
door, the beetle cut one for itself and
crawled out.
1t was captured and put in wooden
box, and as soon as the novelty of its
new home Wore off. again the persever
ing insect cut hole in the box and es-
capped.
The next time the escaped prisoner
was caught it was put in small glass
jar with tight fitting pewter cover,
punctured to let in air. But the metal
cutting beetle from Mexico scorned to
live in a pepper box and gnawed a hole
big enough to allow it to creep out in
to the big world again. And this time
it was not caught.
