Novel Exhibition With Pool Ball,

Dimond 8. Richardson, a negro who
said he lived in New York, was recently
arraigned in the First criminal court in
Jersey City to explain how he came in
possession of four pool balls. He said
he owned the balls and that he used
them in his profession.
"What is your profession?" asked Po-
lice Justice Nevin. "Swallowing pool
balls" replied Richardson. "I'll show
you, judge" he continued, and, opening
his mouth, he put all the balls into it
one after the other. Richardson said
that he supports himself and his mother
by giving exhibitions of the capacity of
his month

Com cts Tail Point

Comets Tail Pointing Toward Sun.
DR.. Lewis Swift, director of the
Mount Lowe observatory at Pasadena,
CAL, announces a number of interesting
discoveries with regard to the new comet
which was first found by DR.. William
r. Brooks of Geneva, N. Y. One feature
of it not hitherto noticed is a broad and
exceedingly faint tail five minutes in
length and pointing toward instead of
from the sun, as is usual. At one of his
observations the professor is confident
that he saw two tails. He believes the
visitor is identical with comet No. 4 Of
1881. He says it can be easily seen
through two inch telescope near the
delta Hercules Special st. Louis

Swinging his censor, goes.

in this case, that the opportunity to sell

temporary inability to use her on ac-
count of war. How far he can go in the
compromise between his individual re-

Captain J. w. Miller of the New York

proposed were certainly needed for a
second line of defense. The yachts that
were purchased for this purpose had not
been entirely suitable, he said, and had
been purchased at maximum prices
from the pick of hundreds that had been
offered. He suggested that only two of
the three classes mentioned by Mr..
Stephens were necessary. Naval Con-

on the naval auxiliary board, stated

NICARAGUA CANAL.
The Surveying Expedition in Camp
at Cape Leaf.

CAPE LEAF (Near GreytoWn, MIC
aragua), December 22-(Corrrespond-
ence of the Associated Press)-The sur
veying expedition attached to the MIC
aragua Canal Commission is still in
camp here. Everything is progressing
favorably The laborers hired at Port
Limon, Costa Rica, landed at Camp
Cheney, near the canal company s
breakwater yesterday. Two navy
launches belonging to Lieutenant Ha-
nus photographic party were brought
over the bar without accident.
The bar here is not such a dreadful
thing as it has been painted. Some
newspapers have printed alarmist sto-
ries about the dangers of the expedition,
which have not been borne out by our
experiences up to date. On the con-
trary, everything has run smoothly,
and the natural difficulties have not
so far proved insurmountable.
Lieutenant Hanus has been placed in
charge of the company here lie ana
his party expected TO start soon, out IL
is evident the commissioners value ms
services too highly to lose them before
the company is broken up and the va
rious parties are started up the coun-
try. Mr.. Hanus' party will be the last
to start.
There is plenty Of rain, and although
practically camping out, the men are
housed in buildings. These, and also
the rest of the company's property, are
sadly out of repair. 1T is plain that
material of all sorts deteriorates rap
idly in this climate, and consequently
work on any extended scale will be
very expensive.
