DO YOU WANT TO BE KING.

Here is good chance for people
wishing to become independent landed
estate proprietors. The French govern
ment offers for sale some of the little
islands situated at the entrance of the
Bay of St Malo. on the coast of Brit
tany. Formerly, when the famous
French pirates, jacques Cartier and
Sourcouf, brought down the wrath OF
the English ON their heads by their
acts Of daring the victims tried to get
near enough to St, Malo to throw fire
brands and to discharge cannon into
the town, but they were never able to
succeed in passing the islands The
French government has taken away
the cannon from the fortified walls OF
Gouchee La Plate, La Ronneresse, and
one or two other of these rocks The
state, which is always short of money
found it a needless expense to keep up
this property, and so offers 1t for sale.
The inhabitants of st, Malo are un-
easy and disconnected ut the proceed
ing. And not without cause, for, no
restrictions having been put upon the
sale, the highest bidder will become

WHAT MADE ARMOR OBSOLETE.

Firearms and Armor Is the theme of
paper by Julian Corbett in Long
mans. The traditional idea that fire
arms occasioned the disuse of armor
is shown to be unfounded. In fact
plate armor and gunpowder were in
troduced in the same century. He
argues to prove: THE real eXplana-
ton, then. of the disappearance Of
armor Is. firstly, that with the de-
velopment Of military science, light
cavalry proved itself more serviceablo
than heavier cavalry, and, secondly
that light cavalry in their origin were
mounted musketeers, and were there
fore unarmed, Except In their early
days musketeers, 1t must be remem-
hered, never wore armor."

THE FEMININE OBSERVER.

The girl who declares that she must

apt to be overburdened with offers OF
marriage.
There is nothing that so aggrayates
man as to have no one on whom to
blame his mistakes.
Many Of the imported gowns sup
posed to be decidedly F'renchy are
most emphatically Dutch.

Worlds Biggest Icebreaker.

Pearson magazine gives a full il
Illustrated account of the wonders Of the
quadruple-screw steamer Ermack, the
largest and most powerful icebreaker
in the world, which an English firm
has built for the Russian government.
AS everyone knows. Russia's principal
ports are icebound during four or five
months of the year, and the Ermack
has been specially designed to be able
to keep an open seaway between the
ports and the ocean by breaking up the
intervening ice with her enormous
strength and weight. THE Err
mack" says the writer is by far
the most powerful that has as yet been
constructed for the purpose OF ice
fighting. Imagine, to begin with, a
hull of 305 feet long. II feet broad u
feet inches in depth and 5000 tons
displacement, which is capable OF be-
ing hurled on to an icepack 10 feet
thick. with the concentrated energy Of
IL, N00-ho power, without getting
hurt. and you will have some idea If
what the Ermack really is. II is hard
~ necessary to say that any other
steamer, built In the ordinary way, and
subjected to a test like this. would
just crumple up and go down without
having hurt the ice very much much
as an Atlantic liner would do II 1t
charged an iceberg at Is or Is knots
That is just what the Ermack Is built
not to do. And that, too is why, with
the exception Of one or two smaller
boats of her own class, she is built
differently from all other steamers in
the world. The real icebreaker does
not break the Ice up: she breaks II
down: and fore and aft amidships she
