TWO-HANDED WHIST
New style Of Playing which Sakes IL
| Much Like the Ordinary Cane.

A New style Of Playing which Sakes II
Much Like the Ordinary Cane.
Two handed whist is being phyed at
some clubs and private parties ana
variation has been introduced Uhlcn
makes it resemble more than yer the
regular four-handed game andhas IN
fused new interest in it. AS bus been
before explained in The Tribune, the
game is played by dealing to each OF
the two players one half of th cards,
one at time, as in the regulS' game.
The cards are then placed on tie table,
IN piles of two, SO that each plYer has
thirteen piles. The top cardof each
pile is turned up at the beginning OF
the game. This leaves thirten cards
in each hand exposed. Pla. begins
with the non dealer, who play one or
his exposed cards, and, as sob as the
trick is taken, he turns up ne card
that was beneath it. In this way all
the cards are finally eXpoed and
played. AS two cards make a trick,
there are naturally twenty-sK tricks
in all. thirteen of which it! axes to
make a book, after scoring With every
trick counts one point. Thus, while 1t
is possible to make thirteen Joints in
one deal. 1t Is also possible to have no
count whatever, and in actua play 1t
frequently happens that neithsr player
makes point in a PARTICULAR zeal. The
variation Of the game is to arrange the
cards as before described. khen the
non-dealer begins the play. Is soon as
he has made the play, he turts UP and
exposes the card which was covered
by the card played. The other player
then plays and likewise exposes the
card uncovered. The first player then
plays another card on the same trick,
again exposing the face of the card un-
derneath the one played, if there be
one, and the second player has the last
play. This, of course, makes only thir-
teen tricks, and the regular rules of
whist govern in counting the points.
The chief recommendation of the game
is, OF course, that it is played by two
persons, and makes an interesting pas
time. There is more of an element of
chance in it than there is in the regu-
lar game. as, naturally, it is impossi-
BILE to tell the location of the cards
turned down until they are exposed to

The lens has long been regarded as
the 1means by which we will be en-
abled. II at ALL to study the moons
mysteries. The only question has. been
now to make lens large enough. 1t
seems to have been recognized that
there is limit to what may be called
the carrying power of lens. Alvin
Clark, of Cambridge, is the man who
makes big lenses. and he has about
reached bis limit.
Two of these record breaking lenses
are in the great Chicago telescope. and
two more are about to be set in the re-
Gently mounted telescope in the Paris
observatory. A French scientist, M.
Deloncle, proposes TO use these lenses
Tor novel purpose. The plan is said to
be more than three-fourths realized. 1t
will require glasses of over forty-nine
inches in diameter. A famous French
!ens-maker is at work on these glasses
for an instrument which M. Deloncle
calls the siderostat.
With this NJ. Deloncle hopes to in

for all whether that interesting and
much-discussed planet is inhabited. 1t

LIncOln's Hand.

With the winter Bayard Taylor came
on from his home in kennett and took
an apartment in East Twelfth street,
and once a week Mrs. Taylor and he re-
ceived all their friends there, with a
simple and charming hospitality. There
was another house which was much re-
sorted to-the house of James Lorrimer
Graham, afterward Consul General at
Florence. where he died. I had made
his acquaintance at Venice three years
before, and came in for my share of
that love for literary men which all
their perversitles could not extinguish
In him. 1t was veritable passion,
which l used to think he could not have
felt II he had been literary man him
self. There were delightful dinners at
his house, where the wit OF the Stod-
dards shone, and Taylor beamed with
gOod-fellOwship and overlooked with
invention: and Huntington, long Paris
correspondent of the Tribune, humor-
Ously tried to talk himself into the reso-
luton of spending the rest of his life in
his own country. There was one even
ing when G. p. Cranch. always OF a most
pensive presence and aspect, sang the
most killingly comic songs; and there
was another evening when, after We all
went into the library. something tragi-
cal happened. Edwin Booth was one of
our number. a gentle. rather silent per-
son in company, or with at least little
social initiative. who, as his fate would
went up to the cast OF huge hand
that lay upon one of the shelves.
Whose hand is this. Lorry?" he asked
our host. as he took it up and turned
1t over in both OF his hands. Graham
feigned not to hear. and Booth asked
again. Whose hand is this?" Then
there was nothing for Graham but to
say. Its Lincoln's hand" and the man
for whom 1t meant such unspeakabie
things put it softly down without q
word.

Balloons for warfare are a feature o

government Is interested in the al,

ments, not only at the Weather Blu

West, at fort near Denver, the gov
eminent has balloon in the course of
aid in war. The shape is that of an
ordinary balloon, but drag-rope will
connect it with the ground. 1t will
carry several officers. whose work will
be to watch the enemy's movements,
study the disposition and strength of
his forces, to make photographs of the
field and get all information possible.
An instrument called the telephone
telegraph. will be taken in this balloon,
ton can be carried on between the &C.
Grants Of the basket and the general
G the field below. Telegraphing can
also be done by the same instrument,
which has recently been perfected by
an officer of this branch of the govern
ment service. Bicycles are used by the
Signal Service men and on coil of the
wheel the wire is run and paid out as
the machine progresses. Thus, when
the balloon has started up. the officer
on the wheel rushes to the tent of the
General and the telephone wire Is car
ried along and let out till the tent is
reached. This work makes direct COM
munication between the officers on the
field and the man in the air. who from
his station has complete view of the
enemy and can thus give important in
formation to his superiors. The Gen.
eral commanding thus gives his orders
from absolute knowledge of the enemy
strength, and the disposition Of his
men. This will be of incalculable value
to the mode Of fighting In the future.
The balloon, Of course. is not designed
to fight, but to be a Watchdog and keep
a sharp eye on the enemy. In the event
of shot from the foe, the balloon would
be SO high up as to make its effect I'M
