II is generally known that bill
liards were first invented by a
pawnbroker. About the middle
of the sixteenth ccntuary there
was one William Kew, a pawn
broker, who, during wet weather,
was IN the habit of taking down
the three balls, and with the yard
measure pushing them billiard
fashion from the counter into the
stalls. In time the idea OF board
with pockets suggested itself. A
black letter Ms. says: "Master
William Kew did make one board
whereby a game IS played with
three balls, and all the young men
were greatly recreatcd tlicreat,
chiefly the young clergymen from
st. Pawlcs, hence one Of ye strokes
wae called q cannon, having been
by one Of ye said clergynen in.
vented. This game is now known
by>ye name Of Bill yard, because
| william or Bill Kew did first pla,
with his yard measure. The sticl
Il now called q kew or kue." Il
is easy to comprehend how "Bill
yard has been modernizcd int
Billiard, and the Transformation o
"kew" " or 'kue" F" into cue IL equal
y apparent.

ION the Moons influence In
Connection with the Extremes Of
Temperature" IL the title Of pa
per read to the British Meteorolo-
gical Society. The author, Mr..
Brunhnm. believes he has made
out the fact that there is some Inn
portant connection between lunar
influences aud extremes Of atm0s-
phcricc temperature upon the
earth; but that this influence is
partial and very materially afFcc-
ted and modified by the circuIn-
stances and conditions Of place,
and that the careful and patient
inquiry Of how and why the wealth
er Of different localities is different
" Influenced By the movements OF
the moon, is one Of the Offices
which meteorological science has
at this time TO PERFORM" Mr..
Brunham points out that very
severe Winters have occurred at
intervals Of about sixty-two years,
which correspond to periods Of
double the moons cyclical return
TO relations with the earth and sun.
Starting with 1909, he shows that
the intervening dates support his
theory; "and us there was a very
severe Winter in 1914" so he con-
cludes, "there will be one in
1876"

TIME. .,..c.l ......f .,t,..i.,
At three and half minutes after o.
clock yesterday the long looked, and
pa, iently waited for excursion OF Mr.. p.
L. Il. Smith, for New York and the Hud-
SON river, left the depot in this city for
its destination, Jersey City. The day
was everything that could be wished for.
the air was balmy and the heat was so
moderate that one was not under the
necessity of perspiring.
The train consisted of fourteen cars,
thirteen passenger and one baggage.
when leaving there, were about 400 on
board most Of them being from this city,
but there was one car load from Elkton
and Newark. Before the train reached
Philadelphia several additions to the
number were made at the different sta,
tions along the road, until there were
over 600 persons on board. The train
arrived in West Philadelphia on time,
but owing to some cause or other it was
delayed for over half an hour. Finally
start was made and it went rushing
through the beautiful agricultural dis
trict OF lower Pennsylvania, past hand
some farm buildings and through coon
try villages. These latter together with
larger places and cities 80 abound along
the line that it would be impossible to
give ev5n their names much less de-

around the East River and then up the
Hudson. The run up the East River
Was made as far as He'll Gate, after which
they returned TO pier No. l, where q
large number landed and proceeded tc
do New York. The boat then continued
on up the noble Hudson as far as West
Point, and those on board were constant
ly occupied In gazing upon the great
beauties of ma 'ure and the beauties oil
art that abound along the shores. The
return trip on the Hudson was even
more beautiful than the up trip; it being
clear night the moon shone out in all
It's brilli incy and the excurslonlsts were
treated to moonlight on the Hu dson
