intuitive1y the entire plot burst upon
my comprehension. Burgin and Rava-
chol were in league; they had lured me
here by trickery, knowing that, coming
from the Spanish king, should in all
probability be the bearer of dispatches
of vital nature. Now there remained
for me nothing but to comport myself
without fear, to win if possible, even
against trickery, and, at any rate, not
to give Burgin the satisfaction of
knowing that what he sought actually
reposed in the bosom of my shirt
! At four o'clock, in a shady dell in the
| very heart of the Bots, Burgin and l
| awaited the approach of my antagonist.
To my surprise Burgin manifestly
took my part, insisted upon choice of
weapons, placed me where the sun
would not shine in my eyes. Was he,
after all, friendly? Or was Ravachol
so sure of victory that he could af-
ford to play fairly with pe?
We crossed swords, the letter in my
bosom burning like a cinder of fire.
On that issue depended-how many
hopes? Ravachol thrust in carte,
| tierce-I parted with difficulty From
the first moment I perceived that was
hopelessly outclassed. Every moment
his assaults grew fiercer. The brief in
tervals, which only wearied me, seemed
to refresh his iron wrist. At last
realized that was at his mercy. And
still parted that fatal thrust which,
as well knew, could not be long de-
| layed.

chol was playing with me, waiting to
weary me still further before taking
his revenge.
His eyes seemed to hypnotic me as
he darted agilely before me, the very
incarnation of grace and cruelty.
Across his face, tanned by the sun, the
blow that l had dealt him seemed to
stand out like a white veal The
breath came painting between my lips.
A couple of spectators, who found out
our retreat, drew near and watched

in their eyes for me-pity for my de-
feat. For they did not know that this
was duel unto the death.

BASEBALL IN FEDERAL PEN
PRISON LEAGUERS OPEN SEASON
IN TRUE BIG LEAGUE STYLE.
All of the 800 Inmates of Atlanta
Federal Pen Given Freedom of the
Grounds Under No Restraint.

ATLANTA by all the
conventional ceremonies of one OF
the big leagues the baseball season
of 1913 was inaugurated at the fed

was a parade through the prison
grounds behind the prison band, a
march across the field and the rails

1912. The fag raising at the prison
proved that there is something in a
name, for the pennant was won by
the Giants. a team composed of the
strong armed men of the stone cut
ting shop.
The new season started with eight
teams and today there was a double
header, in which the Tigers beat the
Cubs ~ to and in which the cham
pion Giants walloped the Crackers 3
to !. The Giants had as their pitcher

gia." but more often referred to by
the prisoners as BLACK Matty." This
pitcher won fifteen straight games
last season, but unlike many stars of
the baseball world was not a holdOut

several years to run.
Unique Scene Presented.
The scene about the baseball dia-
mond at the prison today was one
unique in the history of the national
game. All of the more than 500 pris-
oners had been given the freedom of
the grounds. No restraints whatever
were placed upon them, The real
fans gathered as close to the diamond
as they could and rooted" with all
the vim and enthusiasm of their pro-
totvpes on the outside. The umpires,
selected from among the prisoners,
were freely and frankly denounced
as robbers. and once one of the
umpires was surrounded by an angry
group of protesting players when he
called a Giant out at second on
close play. In fact, there was not

ing in the prison contests.
Taking the place of the president
or mayor Warden Meyer was called
upon to pitch the first ball. He was
suffering from "blass arm" how

to Deputy Warden Hawk. The depu-

The partisanship among the fans

The flag raising was an impressive
ceremony, the baseball diamond in
the shadows of the great concrete
walls surrounding the prison, the en-
tire field suggesting the most modern
construction in the way of concrete
stadiums. About the flag pole were
grouped all of the ball players, sur
rounded by the other prisoners. The
fac was bestowed upon the Giants
with a very pretty little speech by
one of the prisoners, a man proml-
nent in the news of the country at
one time, but whose identity so far

JUS flood conditions are not found

Gus flood conditions are not found
! here.
The public is generally coming to
understand that weather and temper
ature conditions drift across the
country from the west toward the
east" he says. Thus when the news
of the great destruction by a tornado
| in Omaha was followed by the great
er disaster occasioned by the floods
in Indiana and Ohio many people be-
came alarmed and the weather bu-
reau offices were fairly besieged by
anxious inquiries as. to whether a
tornado or floods were coming.
OF Small Diameter.
I'm order to make the conditions
better understood it may be explain
ed that only the larger atmospheric
disturbances several hundreds of
miles in dimaeter maintain their for
nations long enough to cross the
country. The intense local disturb
ances. such as thunderstOrms and
tornadoes form rapidly within the
limits of the larger areas, travel a
short distance, spend their energy
and disappear.
"Tunderstorms are usually only
few miles in diameter, but many OF
them may form under favorable con-
ditions and cover large area OF
country, thus creating the impression
that it is all one storm. Tornadoes
on land are identical with water
spouts over the ocean. They are fun-
mel shaped formations rarely more
than 200 yards in diameter, and usu-
ally they do not travel more than
from 20 to so miles. 1t will be seem
therefore, that the area covered by
them is small, but the destruction
within that area is almost complete
and when they happen to pass over
large city, as in the case of Omaha,
the results are appalling.
THE tornado funnel has a move
ment of translation of 25 to 30 miles
per hour, but the rotary wind veloc-
ity within the funnel is extremely
high. No device could be construct
ed by which the velocities in the fun
mel could be measured, as the strong
est buildings of brick and stone are
often leveled to the ground.
The tornado gains its destructive
power from two sources. First, the
rotary or vortex motion within the
funnel is so great as to cause a par
tial vacuum. When it swings over a
building the atmospheric pressure
is reduced suddenly around the
building, while the air within ex-
pands with an explosive effect. Sec
ond, the walls, which are burst out
ward, are caught by the powerful
rotating air currents and are scatter
ed in all directions.
"Tornadoes may form whenever
conditions are favorable for thunder
storms. Their formation cannot be
forecasted, and if it could be done
warning for tornadoes would proba-
bly, brighten about as many people
to death as the storm would kill
Tornadoes sometimes occur along tie
North Atlantic slope, but not so fire.
