The First French Newspaper,

1t was under Richelieu that the
first newspaper received sanction and
encouragement, says Thomas Il. Wat
son in "The Story of France" Hith-
erto the only such thing in France
had been an annual. This once year
being a somewhat sluggish news ven
der. even for those times, little hand
bills containing news items began to
circulate. A DR.. Renaubet in 1851 OBJ
tanned a license from Richelieu to pub
fish IL regular weekly newspaper, and
thus was founded the Gazette of
France. 1t was very modest. con-
sisting of four pages. each containing
a single column. Louis MIL. was a
frequent contributor to this first of
newspapers and took special pleasure
in the work. The great cardinal also
wrote for it, his weakness being a
fondness for literary composition.

The fate of Hannibal turned upon
the result of a promenade. 1t was after
he had crossed the Alps and entered
Italy. with winter Quarters Established
ut Capua. His residence was one OF

walking In the garden he heard fe-
male voice singing not far away.
Struck by the tones of the voice, he is.
sued an order that the singer should be
brought before him. He was so greatly
impressed by her charms that he ut
once attached her to his household,
disposing OF the husband by beheading
him. Retribution followed closely upon
the cowardly perpetration of the out
rage. The balance of the winter was
devoted to pleasure, discipline and
drills were practically abandoned, and
with the advent of spring the Cartha-
ginian army was SO demoralized by
the dissipation of the city that its pres
tige was lost. and with 1t came the
downfall of Hannibal.

A government official who has made
II special study of whales states that
the average length of full grown
sulphur bottom whale is just under
eighty feet. This estimate disregards
the exaggerated reports sometimes
spread by sailors and is based on
actual measurements of many indi-
vidnal specimens. There seem to be
creuible accounts of whales reaching
Il length of from cighty-five to ninety
five feet, but the authority quoted has
never seen any of that size.
Whales appear to grow with great
rapidly. the length of yearlings being
estimated at from thirty to thirty five
feet.
How high can whales spout? Photo

IL Takes Quick Thinking Players to
Make Successful Team.
The greatest difficulty in building ur
ball teams in this day, when the game
has become business as we'll as a
sport. is in securing what we know as
thinking ball players There are any
number of ball players in the minor
leagues who have natural physical
ability, but it is very rarely possible
to secure men who have that peculiar
faculty of being able to think and act
simultaneously.
1t is no reflection OH ball players

hasn't that quality. l know scores Of
players who are men of unusual in
tellect, but who are lacking in that
ability to think and act at the same
time. Give them few minutes to
consider n problem. and they will ar
rive Mt conclusion that is quite log
ical, but baseball games are not won
on logic. The plays that win are usu-
ally the result of impulse 1t is in
stinct with some ball players to make
the proper play ut the proper time
1t would be possible to count on the
fingers of the two hands the men in
the league who are "quick thinking
ball players" The team that is bless
ed with a majority of that class Of
players is the one that usually wins
the championship. A team must have
at least two thinking ball players to be
a contender. and il it has four the
championship is in sight.-John j. Nc
