tho perils Of slipping ut the foul line with
out the bother of repeatedly stopping to
chalk his shoes. Ho has these shoes mado
by hand and pays 81 or IS for them. n
When novice begins to bowl, hdwill
soon mako the astonishing discovery that
up to n certain point tho longer no bowls
tho worse no bowls. When he is strong
and fresh, ho will doubtless DO nble to
make n fair score for beginner, but after
he has rolled ono or two ten frame games
his strength will full him, his fingers may
get chafed, and the balls will persist in
taking to tho gutter The next day his left
side will be lamo, and he will imagine ut
first that he has touch Of rheumatism in
his right arm. All these discomforts, how
eyer, will disappear rs soon as the bowler
becomes accustomed to tho work This
point reached, he will be gratincd to note
that the longer no bowls the bottor ho
bowls.
AS usual thing tho now bowler fccls
as powerful as Hercules before that worthy
tackled his 10 labors. No ball is heavy
enough for him except the great Is pound
er, and tho result is that no becomes very
tired long before there Is my necessity for
tho approach Of WEAKNESS. The proper pro-
ceeding for the novice Is to begin work
with balls Of medium size and devote his
energies to the heaviest ones when his
muscles become accustomed to tho I'M
wonted labor.
There arc numerous styles of bowling
and each one is supported by excellent
playing in individual cases Mt least Most
players take n run of eight or ten fcot be-
fore delivering the ball, and there arc OK
pcrts who always stand ut tho foul limo and
do wonderful work without running n
foot Some players think fast ball Is tho
only effective one, and others favor n mod
crate delivery. The latter class declare
that n fnst ball will cut clean swnth
through tho pins, leaving some standing
in very difficult positions, whilo the mod
orato ball, on the other hand, will tako
moro time in getting through and will
consequently topplc over moro pins and be
moro apt to make "strike." Tho major
ity of bowlers favor tho moderate speed.
Noviccs ut first roll Il straight ball game
and usually send tho ball down tho very
center of the alley Gf they have good luck
and strike the head pin. When tho novice
becomes moro experienced, he attempts to
master tho art of curving or twisting tho
ball. This is done by turning the wrist to-
ward the body the instant the ball is tlcliv-
cred or by imparting the axial twist to tho
bnll with the fingers. A ball that twists
must be delivered with speed or the nXinl
motion will overcome tho forward motion
and carry the ball into the gutter before
it has an opportunity of dcmolishing the
pyramid of pins. EARLE II. EATON.

his good nature to such an extent that he
would have ceased tho amateur detective
business, married tho fair Ophelin and
lived happily ever aftcrward.
Tho game in primitive form has been
played for centuries. There are traces of
the sport in Biblical history, tho Chinese
played the gamo when the Flowcry King
dom was young and tho Romans hurled
their stone bowlcrs from catnpults In war
timo and in time of peace cnst them ut
rock some distance away as the bowler of
today rolls his ball toward tho pyramid of
wooden pins. In its carly stages tho game
was called "bowls, " and closely rescmblod
the "duck and rock'' that country boys
have played in America for many years
,Chaucer mentions bowls, and it is sim
cercly to DO hoped that he could bowl bot
tor than he could spell. Sir Francis Drake
was engaged in q game of bowls whom he
heard the news of the approach of tho
Spanish armada. Sir Francis was plainly
bowling crank for he cried as he picked
up another bowler, There's plenty of
time to win this gamo and thrash the
Spaniards tool At this timc-the six
tecnth century-bowls WIS tho most popu-
lar gamo in England. Bowling greens and
the residences of the nobility, and gentle
men gamblcd, quarrclod and even fought
over tho game. Ono Of the royal enthusi-
asts of tho timo was Princess Mary, laugh-
tor of Horny VIII. She often played for
expensive dinners, and history records that
one dinner cost her 10 shillings. The fact
that she contracted the habit of losing
largo bets was doubtless tho reason why
her much married father had ~ law passed
prohibiting the game in England
Bowling rs it is at present played, with
wooden balls and pins, is supposed to have
originated in Germany. Tho sport was
very popular among the Dutch, who
brought it to this country when they set
tied Manhattan island. II became very
popular among the colonists in tho six
tecnth and seventeenth centuries. and
Bowling green, the small park near tho
Battery, New York city, received it's name
from tho fact that it was the favoritc
bowling Green of the Dutchmcn. They
rolled wooden balls along tho grccnsward
toward wooden pins, and when the win
ter camc, the game was played indoors
The under cover phase OF tho sport led to
the construction Of wooden ALLEYS and the
development of the sport to its present
complete form. About 80 years ago tho
rage for bowling was Mt fever heat and
New York in particular WAS full of alleys
so great became the craze that in tho
states of New York and Vermont laws
were passed prohibiting the sport, and this
fact led to tho adoption of the present ten
pin game. Before the passage of tho laws
the game was called nincpins owing to
the fact that but zine pins wero spotted.
AS tho law specifically prohibited ninepns

A MOVING

Great Alarm and Much Wonder.

The object of greatest interest in con-
tinental Europe at this minute is a
walking mountain in Gard, France,
which is moving toward the river Of the
same name at the rate Of Is feet a day.
The advance has destroyed the machin-
cry in the pits of the Grand Combe col
liery and nearly a mile of the Alais rail
way. The great thing now is to prepare
new channels for the Gard and Carbon
rivers, which are sure, when the land
slide comes. to be completely choked up.
Six hundred persons have been obliged
to leave their homes at Grand Combe.
The lower strata Of the mountain, which
rises sheer from the valley, are grit and
green mari. Both ha' g given way owing
to filtration Of rain. Recently 5000 per-
sons went from Mines to see the NOV
ing mountain. The noise il makes is
frightful, and there are wide cracks in
all directions. Nobody is allowed to 20
