a Missionary Enterprise.

c. p. Huntington is on his way to
Europe. 1t is said he has gone to con-
suit with the king of Belgium in refer
ence to railroad into the Congo coun-
try, and it was in furtherance of this
enterprise that he sold his interest in
the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad. The
estimated cost OF the road is $50, 900, 900,
Of which Sc, 400, 600 has already been
subscribed by the Belgium stock COM
pany. II Mr.. Huntington succeeds in
his mission and the road is eventually
built, he will prove to be one Of the
greatest missionaries Of the world. A
railroad running into this hitherto ter
ra incognita will carry more light and
civilization than could thousand Jud-
sons or Morrisons, though they ear
uestly toiled for thousand years. The
screech OF the locomotive will forever
drown the wall OF the victim Of can
uibal's hunger; the sight of train Of
cars with the windows full OF heads
will make the fig-leaf costumes of the
natives give place to Scotch plaids and
India silks. Next to newspapers rail-
roads are the best agents for carrying
light and liberty into dark places. The

improvements.

In whats Why in everything, has been 50
great within the past few years that one can
hardly see where more can be made. In rail-
road ears locomotives and rolling stock gener-
ally the improvements have been many and
great. A few years ago travelling by rail day
and night without a sleeper in a regular day
coach was considered a luxury. Then the
sleeping car made its appearance. and was hail
ed with delight by the travelling public, who
imagined that the acme Of comfortable travel
ing had been reached. But In few months a
new star in railroad circles made its bow, and
the immediate success OF the peerless Mann
Compartment Car was assured, and the travel
er was corrcspOndingly happy The Chicago,
st. Paul u Kansas City Railway, running from
Chicago TO Minneapolis, ST. Paul and Kansas
City. was one Of the first to recognize that this
was one Of the things they wanted and conse-
quently secured it, and is the only line In the
West that places at the disposal of their pat
rons solid vestibulcd, compartment Mann
BouGor Car train, with magnificent dining
cars, to the West. As fast as improvements in
railroad circles are announced that are merito-
rious and can be utilized for the benefit of their
patrons, they are at once secured and placed
In service by the Chicago, st. Paul g. Kansas
City Railway. 1t is by such prompt recogni
ton OF the wants and comforts of the travelling
public that the Chicago, st. Paul 81 Kansas
City Railway has deservedly earned the title of
being one of the leading lines In the West. A
trip over this line is one of the things to be re-
membered by the Western traveler.-Woman

Brooklyn, the amateur champion, Is
the nearest approach to it. This may
seem u startling statement to the many
who play every day, and who have
among their personal friends men who
run more than 100 in rail play, but
professionals generally will admit that
it is true. The reason probably lies in
the fact that few Americans devote
enough of persistent attention to tho
game, but it is also n fact that Ameri-
cans are naturally the best players in
the world, with Frenchmen second.
Yet the French have many first-class
amateurs. The difference lies in the
fact that while Americans learn more
quickly, the French devote themselves
more assiduously to practice.
To those who would play good
billiards, | would say avoid pool. The
nature Of the stroke in the two is so
different that no one can cultivate both
kinds ut once to the advantage of
either game. In pool the stab stroke
is most employed, while in billiards
there must be long, swinging, grace
full motion.
The question Of comparison be-
tween blllidfuS anu CHESS has DSeu
suggested to me. | think no one will
accuse me of undertaking chess when
say that billiards is the superior game.
Strategic play is the controlling prin-
cipal OF chess, and it exercises u
mans mind to the utmost; but every
good billiard player knows that
strategy also enters TO a large degree
in his game, when he seeks to play in
such way that if he fails TO score, the
balls will lie so that his opponent will
have the greatest possible difficulty
in making shot. No game Of bill
lizards was ever played without the
most concentrated attention on the
part of the player at every shot. 1t
will be noted that in billiards there are
more shots III game than moves in
chess; and in addition to all the men,
tai work employed, there is the neces-
sity of perfect physical executi on. The
question doubtless comes down to the
individual tastes of men, but it seems
to me that q candid consideration of
all the elements that make up the
games would place billiards at the
head

We'll Water.

The common we'll is the most un.
desirable source Of all. II it is deep
enough TO strike living spring Of
water, and removed from all sources of
contamination, it may be unobjection-
able. but these conditions are rarely
met with in the country, and, we may
say, never in large towns or cities. A
well is usually placed near the house,
for the same reason that the barnyard,
privy and sink drain are, but their
existence in the same vicinity is in
compatible with pure and wholesome
water supply. Some even go so far as
to dig the we'll in the cellar. and we
recall the case OF a refined and cultured
family who actually had both we'll and
cesspool underneath their dwelling,
and only short distance apart. Such
barbarous practice is unworthy OF a
civilized race, but it is to be feared
that a largo proportion Of wells are
not much better situated.

Electricity n Coast pefsnss.

Electricity plays perhaps the most
wonderful part in all these huge works.
Not far from the main fort, there
would DO built little round building.
This would be the place for the 'tower
OF observation" OF the commanding
officer. From here he could see all
over the harbor and away out to sea.
The tower would be strong, and inside
would be the wonderful key-boards OF
the electric system. By means OF these
the commander could telephone to the
captain OF any battery to load his guns,
and aim them at such and such an
angle and direction. The captain oil
the battery would do SO and telephone
back the moment he was ready. The
commander could tell the captain to
fire, or he could tell, II he chose, press
little key and himself fire each gun
singly or all the guns at once. He
could do the same with all the batter
les and forts, and he could, from his
little tower miles away, by light
touch OF his finger explode every gun
Id the harbor, and send tons and tons
OF metal flying with crushing force at
at any vessel he pleased. He
could do even more. He could
explode any, or all, of the mines and
torpedoes ut once, or he could have
one grand simultaneous explosion Of
all the guns, torpedoes, and mines. At
each fort and battery would be station
cd officers who by means of instru-
inents would find exactly the course of
the enemy's ships. This would be tele-
graphed To the commander, who
would thus know at every instant just
where any vessel is, and how fast she
is sailing. So he could predict that a
ship will pass certain spot at cer-
tain time, aud. II she did not change
her course. could press the key, and
blow up the vessel, or send at her
huge bolt Of iron or steel. II the
enemy had landed force on the main.
land down the coast, and it was march,
ing on the fort to take it in the rear, the
commander could wait till he saw the
force on a road approaching a fort.
when, pressing another key, several
iron doors OF the fort would open and
automatic machine guns pop out. and
commence firing at the rate of six
hundred shots per minute apiece, and
keep it up till tho key was pressed
again, when they would withdraw and
the shields close. 1t can be seen that
the commander should know absolute
ly all that is going on, as otherwise he
might fire into his own forts, or on his
own patrol-bo It's. -Lieutenant w. Il
Hamilton, U. S. A, in st. Nicholas.

TennysOn's Old Attitude.

If we turn, on the other hand, to
science we find the same failure of the
present to re llize the dream OF the
past. Even on the purely material
side the new deity men who were called
upon to worship have not done every
thing which was anticipated. The
navies OF the world do not as yet fight
in mid air, as the poet saw them in his
earlier vision. Still, though science
has not fulfilled all the expectations OF
its worshiper5 it has fulfilled them par
TALLY and in some cases has gone be.
yond their most eXtravagant hopes.
Yet its very success in certain ways
makes more pronounced its futillity in
others. The panaceas which it was to
bring with it have turned out incapable
of healing Il single one of the sorrows
that are the sad inheritance OF the race.

which, il not deeper seated than ever,
is far more vocal. Equally futile has
been the remedial legislation which

ing off the letters that have held its

THE GAME OF BILLIARDS.
Mr.. George F. Slosson Tells How
to Play II.
GIVEN A NATURAL GIFT MAN
Must Begin to Play Early in Life and
Never Stop Americans the Best
Natural Players But Frenohmen
Average Better in Results.

So high is billiards held in the esti-
nation of almost all men and many
women that do not need to call more
ihan general attention TO it as a polite
pastime. 1t certainly ranks as one of
HE necessary accomplishments OF a
thorough gentleman, and as sport il
Ihould, in my mind, be placed at the
head OF all; for chance enters into it in
The very least degree; it requires head
work OF the most exacting kind, firm
muscles and good bodily health, and
skill that is developed only by long and
sareful training. 1t is game that
,ultivates the gentlemanly qualities
courtesy, fairness, even generosity. SO
seldom is dispute, much less u quar-
rel, generated at the table, that when,
IN rare occasions, high words are heard
over a game, everybody concludes that
the disputantS have no business with
the cue. =
In the course OF many years ex-
perience as a billiard player, various
questions have been put to me about
ihe game. | shall try to give an
answer to all OF them at this time and
TO anticipate some other questions
which might naturally be asked. In
respect TO learning the game so as to
be able to play it well, billiards is much
like the piano and other musical in
struments. The first lesson must be
taken early in lie and practice must be
unintermittent as long as man is in
the field. Few men can become good
performers on the piano or violin, as |
understand it, if they begin to play
after arriving at mature years. BY
that time the fingers have become COM
paratively rigid and incapable of ac-
curing not rapid action, but delicacy
of touch, without which performance
on the piano can never rank high. 1t
is certainly the case in billiards.
Delicacy and precision count for more
than force, and delicacy can be &C.
CURED only by beginning early. /
should say as general rule that one
who desires to become a good billiard
player, should begin at the age of ii
or -. All the muscles are supple at
this time and the preceptivo faculties
alert 1t is essentially the teachablo
age. One who begins earlier, that is
at Z or g, as is the case with musicilns,
Is liable TO learn more by rote. and thus
acquire a certain mechanical proficiency
which will be of little value until by the
exercise of PERCEPTION and Judgement
the player knows how to treat a novel
or difficult position on his own respon-
sibilitY.

surface exposed to the air causes u to
dry out very quickly. 1t Is very i'm.
portant to save in the soil all the
moisture possible. TO this end good
wheat farmers keep drag in the lot,
and q little before turning-out time at
night they hitch on to that and brush
down what has been upturned during
the day. The good effect OF this prac-
tice in fitting amellow, moist seeded
for the grain is almost incalcuable.
The increase Of insect enemies aud
diseases among cultivated fruits make
them much more difficult to grow than
formerly. Nobody, however, need be
discouraged by this. There is nothing
uncertain about fruit growing, except
the price, and when tho large proper
ton OF unskilfu fruit planters are
driven from the business heprice will
be always u paying one. BY under
standing how TO destroy insects the
crop can be made at least as certain as
hay or grain OF any kind, and by max
ing fruit crops certain every year,
they can be sold ut comparatively low
prices with good profit. Where insect

what is needed TO enlarge the demand.
After the crops are harvested. how
shall they be marketed? Here Is the
economy of good teams, good wagons
capable of hauling largo loads, and
good roads. With all these. the ex-
pense of hauling grain to market need
not be half what it usually is. West
ern farmers have learned lesson OF
farm economy in this matter. Many
large grain growers own elevators on
the railroads, where they store their
grain, and it is easily and cheaply
transferred to cars for shipment when
sold. When the western farmer draws
his grain with teams he usually puts
on much heavier loads than are com
mon in the east. Western farm horses
are heavier than those OF average east
ern farmers. 1t costs no more for
driver to haul u large load to market
than a small one.-American Guilt

not realize just how certain oft recurring
