BILLIARDS WITHOUT THE BALLS
An Interesting Mimic Game That Aston

An Interesting Mimic Game That Aston
ished tho Onlookers
Chicago Times.1
According to an eyewitness a peculiar
incident happened one evening recently in
the billiard room of hotel at Tacoma,
Wash. The room was crowded and all of
the billiard and pool tables were occupied
but one. Two gentlemen entered the room
attIred in full evening dress Engaging a
billiard table the boy brought the balls, but
the players, to his utter astonishment, told
him they did not need them. Removing
their top GOATS, ,coats and hats. they took
cues and commenced a mimic game.
They made the customary moves around
the table, studied apparent plays, made the
customary grimaces at misplays, and regu-
larly counted their strings A wondering
crowd gathered about them. They thought
the men were crazy. A funny part OF it
was that they never smiled, took the ''guy-
ing" OF the crowd serenely, and, when the
points were marked up, paid for the game
and unconcernedly walked out. The solu-
tion of the mystery was that the imitation
game was played on wager.

A Most Remarkable Wedding Dress.

When Mdlle. Morosow, of Russia, mar
ried some few months ago, her fathers
friends and pupils devised wonderful gift
for the beautiful young girl. It consisted
OF probably the most remarkable wedding
dress ever made. The foundation was of
white satin and covered with small paint
ings, all in miniature, of allegorical sub
jects dealing with love and matrimony.
This garment has been, it Is hardly neces-
sary to say, very carefully preserved, and
would prove an addition to any art gallery,

TABLE TURNING IN CHINA.
How the Aim ond-Eyed Medium Conducts
q Celestial Seance.


Celestial Seance.
As things 60 by contraries in China, we
find the phenomenon of table turning re-
versed; in other words, Chinese tables, in
stead of turning on their legs. whirl around
on their heads, with their legs pointing to
the ceiling. The directions usually given
are to place couple of chopsticks at right
angles across mortar or bowl filled with
water, and upon these the table is turned
upside down. Four children are then
called in and to each is assigned leg, on
which one hand is gently laid, while the
other seizes the free hand Of companion.
The medium then reads an incantation, and
soon the table begins to heave with emo
tion, and at last revolves, carrying the lads
along with increasing velocity, until the
table is whirled off its axis The Chinese
are said to implicitly believe that table
turning is the work OF devils or spirits, yet
it is never performed save for the sport it
yields, nor do they ever attempt to hold
Communication with the spirit world by this
means.

Bicycles and TeleCraphs.

In view of the attention now being de-
voted to experiments with the bicycle for
military purposes, it is interesting to know
that the telegraph authorities in many cities
in France have come to the conclusion that
the bicycle can be utilized most advantage
ously in the prompt delivery of messages,
and the telegraph messengers are being pro-
yided with 'safeties.'

THE BRAIN OF AN ANT.
1t Is Small, but 1t Contains a Wonderful
Amount of Intelligence.

Amount of Intelligence.
Harpcrs' Young People.1
Although an ant is tiny creature, yet its
brain is even timer. But although it is
necessarily smaller than the ants head
which contains it, yet it is larger in proper
tion, according to the ants size, than the
brain of any known creature. This we can
easily believe when we read of this insects
wonderful powers. The quality of instinct
or sagacity does not fully explain some of
the stories told about them.
The best writers upon ants-those who
have made the astonishing intelligence of
these little insects a special studv-are
obliged to admit that they display reason
ing ability, calculation, reflection, and good
judgment. Such qualities of brain show
more than ordinary instinct, and we are not
surprised to hear that the ants brain carries
out our idea that he possesses higher in
telligence than is shown by other workers
of his size.
