The New Billiard Rules.
New York World.

The new billiard rules under which
the games of the next tournament are
to be played provide that the corners of
the table shall be cut off by lines drawn
on the cloth. Not more than two car
oms IN succession are to be allowed on
balls within these triangular spaces, and
after two caroms have been made either
one or both of the object balls must be
sent across the line. These lines de-
crease the length of the cushion ayaila-
BILE for +" rail-nursing bv'one-half, leav-
ing but fifty-siX inches on the long cush-
ions and twenty-eight on the short. In
order TO encourage round. the-table j"
shots, direct caroms and caroms to
make which but one cushion is taken
are to count one; when the players ball
strikes four or more cushions the carom
is to count three points, except when
the second object ball is in one of the
four corner spaces. When the balls be-
come frozen the player may either play
on the free ball or a cushion, or can
have the balls spotted. The third shot
within the corner spaces, or Il shot
made with the butt or side of the cue, is
declared foul. Players are forbidden
to place mark Of any kind on the
cloth or cushion rs u guide i'll making
shots. All distractions on the cloth or
balls are to be removed by the referee
or marker. The player winning the
lead may demand that his opponent
shall play first. The first player may
play from any point inside the string
instead of point within six inches OF
the spotted ball The "three-cushion
opening shot" is "barred" in match
games. 1t is thought that these rules
will make long runs on the rail- inn
possible. They have been approved by
Slosson, Sexton, Rudolph, Daily and
GARNER, and copies have been sent for
approval to Schaefer, Nignaux, Gala.
CHER md others.

The Discovery of Matches.
London Society

The story of this discovery has been
told by Mr.. Holden himself in the
House ofCommons before select COM
mittee appointed to inquire into the
workings of the patent laws. We can
not do better, therefore, than give it in
his own words: began as an invent
or on very small SCALE" said Mr.. Hol-
den in the course of his evidence. "For
what know | was the first inventor of
lucifer matches; but it was the result of
happy thought. In the morning
used to get up at 4 o'clock to pursue
my studies, and ! used at that time the
flint and steel, in the use Of which
found very great inconvenience. / gave
lectures in chemistry at the time at a
very large academy. Of course / knew,
as other chemists did, the explosive ma
terial that was necessary in order to
produce instantaneous light; but it was
very difficult to obtain light on wood
by that explosive material, and the idea
occurred to me to put under the explo.
sive mixture sulphur. | did that and
published it in my next lecture and
showed it. There was a young man in
the room whose father was chemist in
London, and he Immediately wrote to
his father about it, and shortly after lu-
offer matches were issued to the world.
/ believe that was the first occasion that
we had the present lucifer match, and
it was one of those inventions that some
people think ought not to be protected
by patent. | think that if all inventions
were like that, or if we could distin-
guish one from the other, the principle
might hold good. If all inventions
were ascertained and carried out into
practice with as much facility rs in
this case, no one would perhaps think
of taking out patent. ! was urged to
go and take cut patent Immediately;
but thought it was SO small matter,
and it cost me so little labor, that did
not think it properto go and get pat.
ent, otherwise have no doubt it would
have been very profitable"

A NEW TORPEDO BOAT.
The Herresh0f Torpedo Boat.
New ! }rk Tribune.

The new torpedo boat recently pur-
chased by the British government from
the Herreshoff Works, Bristol, r. l., APP
pears to have given great satisfaction to
the lords of the admiralty. The new
vessel has the appearance of a not very
symmetrical cigar-shaped boat covered
in at the top, the gray color of which
renders her almost undistinguishable at
even comparatively short distance.
She is barely 59l feet long, and Z! feet
wide, and when thoroughly equipped
for service will not weigh more than
seven or eight tons. She has a conpos-
lite hull built below the water line, with
steel Frame and skin Of wood and
steel plate above. She is propelled by
single compound, direct-aeting con-
densing engine, the diameter OF the
cylinders being inches and TO- inches,
with stroke of 10 inches. Into the
stoke-hole, which is inclosed, air is
forced by Sturtevart blower, driven
by q separate engine of p horse
power, and the steam is supplied by
a Herreshoff patent steam generator.
having coil of 2-inch pipe about 800
feet long. This mode of producing
steam is said to have the advantage
over the ordinary boiler of being more
rapid id its action, of being absolutely
free from the risk of explosion, of OBJ
waiting the danger to the safety OF a
vessel which arises whenever the boiler
happens to be struck by ball, while
the generator is only one-third of the
weight of a boiler of the same power.
The boat is covered with superstruc-
ture of steel plates, for the purpose of
protecting the machinery as we'll as the
men, of whom she would probably carry
seven or eight, from rifle bullets. The
screw is placed under her center, but
nearer the stearn than the bow. AT the
recent trial she realized speed of a little
over eighteen miles an hour, and went
through variety of maneuvers with
great rapidity and precision.

The knaye Bible.
Cham 5ers' journal

About two centuries ago an idea
partly originated by Fuller-was cur
rent that in some rare editions the Apos-
tie designated himself paul, a knave
of Jesus Christ" No such Bible really
existed; and the Duke of Lunderdale,
the well.known Scotch Niceroy of
Charles IT,, having in vain attempted
to procure one, it occurred to Thorn
ton, a worthless fellow by all accounts,
that he could, by little ingenuity,
crafty His Grace and serve himself at
the same time. He got a Matthews
Bible dated MDNNNNll., and by a
careful manipulation he erased the
NNlI., thus leaving the date 1920 in
instead Of 1537-ffteen years earlier
than the Oldest English Bible extant,
that of the Coyerdale. Not content
with this daring imposition, he in a
similar manner rubbed out the word
"servaunte" in Romans i. l, and substi-
tuted kneawe,' made up letters cut
from other parts of the volume, so that
the verse read, Paul, Il kneawe of Jesus
Christ" instead Of Paul, servaunte
ef Jesus Christ The book thus mu.
tilated'was taken to the Duke, who gave
him II guineas tor it. Lewis Histo-
~ Of Translations, u. 40 Although
'the mark Of the razure was visible,
Lauderdale was apparently pleased with
his unique photographed treasure, and
had his arms and cornet stamped on
both sides. How the forgery was dis
covered is not mentioned; but DR. Edie
remarks that volume, said to be the
identical copy, was sold at book sale
III London in 1865. Hence its beng
sometimes called the !" knaye Bible,
which designation, in more senses than
one, is certainly DIES erved.
