The New York correspondent of the
Boston Journal gives the following salut'
airy advice:
The short run of players, riaemen.
billiard champions, and men Of sporting
life generally, is a remarkable feature OF
New York life. Drink is at the bottom
of this. Men who indulge in the cuI
can't control their nerves, and men who
can't do this go to the wall. The bad
shooting of some men, of whom so much
was expected, resulted from their cur
indulgence. One of the best marksmen
in the city said yesterday that Sin rifle
shooting the variance of a hairs breadth
made the difference at the muzzle of one
foot in one hundred yards; and a man
must have absolute command of his
nerves. A man who would win must

his prime on the ford, drank only lemon

billiard congress wa in session the cham
pion player said ave can't drink and
dc anything. We have to abstain totally
from all stimulating beverages while we
play. We have a season of preparation.
We have to be clear and keep cool, or we
fail. The reason that so many eminent
players pass out of sight is-they will
drink. Then the nerves grow unsteady
and the eye fails, and all is up with the
player. The drinking goes deeper and

Military Railway Building.

An interesting experiment was carried
out last month by a detachment OF the
German railway regiment y in order to
determine the rapidity with which a line
of rails could be laid down over ground
presenting considerable difficulties, and
also to ascertain the rate at which the
work could be continued during the
night by the aid of electric and other
artificial lights. The portion of railway
constructed led from the station Of Klaus-
dorf to. the summit of some adjacent
heights, rising fifty or sixty feet above
the starting point. Its length was about
1000 PAGES, and the gradients were,
therefore, necessarily steep, in some places
being as high as one in twenty. The
work was begun at even O'Clock in the
morning, and by midday the rails were
laid on the lower and more level halfof the
road. In the evening the workmen were
relieved by other companies of the regi-
ment arriving from Berlin, and although
there was no moon, the work was steadily
continued. Torches were applied where
excavations or embankments had to be
made: but where more accurate work
had to be executed, OF more difficult
operations had to be performed-as, for
instance, where rails had TO be laid and
adjusted, the scene was illuminated by
electric lights arranged upon an elevated
platform. Shortly after midnight all the
heavy work was finished. In two or
three hours more the rails were finally
adjusted, and in the morning the regi-
ment returned to Berlin.-PaH Nal

A Tree that Rains.

The consul of the United states of
Columbia in the department of Lereto,
Peru, has recently called the attention
of President Prado TO a remarkable tree
which exists in the forests adjoining the
village of oyobamba. This tree, known
to the natives as Tamia Csspi (rain-tree),
is about ftty.eight feet in hight at full
growth, and the diameter OF its trunk is
about thirty-ninei inches. 1t absorbs and
condensesthe moisture in the atmosphere
with astonishing energy, and it is said
that water constantly exudes from its
trunk and falls like rain from its branches.
So abundant is the water supply that
the soil near by is turned intoa marsh.
The tree gives forth most water when
the rivers are dry during the summer
season. and when water generally is scarce.
Its cultivation is proposed throughout
the arid regions Of Peru.
