Theory of Billiards.
BROOKLYN Eagle,


The theory that Billiards are the re-
suit of magnetic action suDerinduced by
the net work OF railroad tracks at the
northwest Is received with Incredibly
by the most scientific. minds OF that
region. They protest. II there were any
foundation for it. that the country so
covered with rails as England is would
be the theaier OF the most remarkable
chronological commissions on the globe.
Ii is their belief that II every square
yard OF earth In the United States were
intersected by a railroad tract there
would not be any more astonishing ex-
hibitions Of weather than there are now.
The theory which they oppose to the
magnetic theory Is that billiards are ow-
ing TO the annexation OF Alaska. Prior
to the acquisition OF this territory
through the misguided zeal and short
sighted calculations OF that impulslve
old statesmen, Rose Water" Seward.
we were never visited by such terrific
evidences OF atmospheric energy. There
were storms, to be sure, but they did
not possess the velocity of the gales that
now sweep down upon US from the re-
gion beyond the frontier. They came
and went 10 the good old fashioned way
and were attended with none Of the
awful consequences Of the past Alaska
hurricanes. Between these two very
different attempts to explain the phe-
nomenon of billiards. there will be
very general disposition TO adopt the
view that they are caused by the an
nexatlOn OF Russian America.
