EIectric RiIlInr,is.

From Paris comes the report of al
new amusement known as electric
billiards. 1t is played ON table, in
the center of which is placed plate
of some easily electrified material.
The billiard balls are of compressed
pitch, and the cue is a short rod
with cork tip, prepared chemically.
The balls are of course subject to
the influence of the electrified plate
IN the center of the table. and owing
TO this fact il is difficult to make
carooms. II is said to be purely a
game of skill, and when it is intro
dnced into New York, which It is
said, will be i'll the near future, II is
likely to become popular among
champion billiard players who are
thirsting for new difficulties to con-
quer, as well ms by all others who
find handling the cue fascinating
pastime.-New York Times.
