FIRESHlPS IN SEA FIGHTS.
And tho Floating Volca noes That Were
Called "infernals."

Nothing in the thrilling narratives OF
many old sen fights appeals more
strongly TO the modeAn Imagination
than the doings OF the tireships
The idea Of using incendlary vessels
for the destruction OF hostile feet
was Of great antiquity. They are said

turtles later had come to be looked upon
as a legitimate naval weapon. their at
tacks being regarded and dreaded In
much the same way as are those Of
the torpedo craft and submarines at
the present time.
The explosion vessels. or "infernals,"
invented by the Italian engineer Glani-
belll were the most formidable. The
designer procured two vessels OF about
eighty tons each and laid along their
bottom foundation of brickwork.
Upon this he erected n marble cham
ber with five foot walls containing 1900
tons OF gunpOwder. while on the top OF
this chamber was a six foot layer OF
gravestones placed edgewise A marble
roof rose over these and upon It was
piled a quantity Of round shot. chain

Three years later the Spanish armada
before Calais was attacked by 6reships
prepared by the English. Eight vessels
were selected. and so great was the
haste that not even their guns or stores
were removed. They were lgnited and
launched and with the wind and tide

The most recent and at the same
time one Of the most interesting fire
ship exploits which ever took place was
that carried out against the French
fleet in Basque Roads In 1909 by Lord
COChrane. His explosion vessel, in

which lay the French fleet, was a truly

To Make 1t Healthy and
Keep 1t Healthy Use a Re-
liable Baby Laxative

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent atten-
ton to diet, babies and children will
become cOnstipated, and it is a fact
that constipation and indigestion
have wrecked many a young life. To
start with a good digestive appara-
tus is to start life without handicap,
But as we can not all have perfect
working bowels. we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use of a laxative tonic
very highly recommended by q great
many mothers. The remedy is called
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
lions. 1t can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar a bottle, and those who
are already convinced of its merits
buy the dollar size
Its mildnesS makes it the ideal
medicine for children. and it is also
very pleasant to the taste. 1t is sure
in its effect and genuinely harmless.
Very little of it is required, and it's
frequent use does not cause it to
lose its effect, as is the case with so
many other remedies.
Thousands can testify to its mer-
its in constipation. Indigestion, bill
iousness, sick headaches. etc. among

in the matter that finally decided Judge
Wright to accept the appointment.
The new county commissioners OF
Lowndes are having rather rough sail
ing getting some Of their new appoint
ments in office.
Among the first appointees of the
new board were Drs. Schuauss and
Burchett as county physicians, to sue
coed DR. y. ". Freeman. who received
his appointment from the state prison
commission, and has been looking after
the health Of the county convicts and
paupers during the past two years. Or.
Freeman refused to give way TO the
new appointees.
1t is understood that he has been no.
tilted by the prison commission to
stand pat" and, as a result. the county
has three physicians instead Of one.
\ somewhat similar condition exists
in the office of county warden, who is
also superintendent Of roads Warden
Mcdaniel was fired by the new commits
sioncrs at their first meeting and Rich
ard BraswelI given the appointment
The state prison commission did not
confirm the appointment Of Braswen,
and it is understood that another man
will be named for that place.
Governor Brown IS hard at work
framing the various boards Of trustees
for the eleven agricultural colleges, and
doubtless will be ready to announce
the appointments within another week.
The governor is proceeding very
carefully in this matter, as the state
spends a great deal Of money on these
Institutions and the executive desires
to place each one in the hands of a
board Of trustees that may be guaran-
iced TO take an active. intelligent and
aggressive interest in its affairs
Figureheads-mcn who accept the
positions merely for the honor there
is in them-wil be sidestepped in the
composition of the new boards, and
those gentlemen who are appointed
eventually may feel that they have been
pretty thoroughly sifted out by the
governor.
The governor is firm friend of edu-
cation, as evenly aSd equitably distrib-
uted through the states bounty as It
possibly may be.
In his last message to the legislature.
he used in one place some very pic
turesgue and striking language with
respect to the human mind and educa-
ton, saying
