I A WONDERFUL INyENTIoN--The general public
are at this moment unaware that at La Jouchere,
close to the pretty village of Bougiia, they have
an opportunity Of witnessing every Sunday the
extraordinary sight Of a railway train ascending
q steep gradient without the aid of steam, and
the carriages of which are destitute Of wheels.
This invention is due to French engineer, NJ. L,
d. Girard. tits founded on a new application of
an old principle, viz That layer of water intro
duced between two metal surfaces enables them
to glide on each other with as little friction as
slab Of ice on the polished surface Of a frozen
lake. M, Girard has conceived the idea Of apply
ing this principle to locomotion, and the expert
mentshe has been, carrying on for the last four
years demonstrate thatit is applicable to the pro
pelling of railway trains. In his system wheels
are dispensed with; and, were his invention ap-
piled to ordinary railways an engine which now is
only able to draw train weighing, say 500 tons,
at the rate of 20tIniles an hour, would, with the
same expenditure of fuel be able to draw double
the weight at double the speed. NJ. Girard, how
ever, proposes to discard steam as a motive
power; this is the weak part of his invention
the value of which consists in the substitution of
sledge carriages, instead of carriages on wheels.
These carriages are fitted on slides, which fit upon
rails Of a peculiar construction by simply turn.
ing tap stream of water is introduced between
the slide and the rail, and gentle motive power
being applied, the carriage, mounted on the slide,
shoots forward with speed which has really no
limit beyond the considerations of safety.

A late writer in the Syracuse IN. W Journal.
whom we may cal q billiard antiquary, has hunted
up some interesting points relative to the early
history of the game and we borrow from him.
The French attribute the invention Of billiards to
HenriQue Devigne, an artist who f1ourished in the
reign of Charles TX, and there is a general feel
ing among Bnglishmen that the game was taken
into Great Britain from France. The hypothesis,
rests upon the technical terms relating
to billiards, which are nearly all French. The
word billiard is the French Olle, ball, with a
diminutiye termination. The word was written
balyard, billiards, by Burton, Spencer and other
old writer's; but Shakespeare, in "Antony and
Cleopatra, !" makes the woman say,
"Let It alone; let Us to billiards.
and rare Ben johnson caught metaphor fromthe
polished ivory, when he wrote:
'si Even nose and cheek, withai
Smooth as is the billiard BALI
In the early period of the game in England, the
pockets of the billiard table were called hazards
a term now applied only to certain unIucky
strokes; and the ordinary table was furnished
with three pockets, placed in the upper end of
the oblong table, Gone at achcoFner,) and the
were often tipped with metal. The Frenchman
usually played with the cue, but the solid Briton
preferred the mace. Writing in 1901, Z" Amateur, p
an English author, tells US, =" the game is played
with sticks called maces, or with cues The first
is long straight stick with a head at the end,
and is the more powerful instrument; the cue is a
thick stick diminishing gradually to point of
about half an inch in diameter. This instrument
is played over the left hand, and supported by
the forefnger and thumb. 1t is the only instru-
ment in vogue abroad, and is played with
amazing address by the Italians and some of the
Dutch; but in England the mace is the prevailing
instrument, which foreigners hold in contempt, as
itrequires not near so much address to play the
game with it as with the cue.n The old time
games would make modern billiard player smile
with loud voice. The following is partial list
of them:
l. The winning game.

was provided with bell which rang whenever a
ball passed under its arch.y The " carambole, Y of
