now IN sale in London.
The oval billiard table has six spots;
each spot Is in the center of a circle,
which is represented in the formation

be placed In n fixed position.

Among the many anecdotes related
of the old Turkish joker Nasir-Eddin-
Khodja is the following: Khodia went
one evening to the well TO draw water
and. looking down to the bottom, he
saw the moon. Quickly he ran into
the house and got a rope with n hook
attached to the end of it, This he
lowered into the well. The hook
caught fast on n stone. Khodia pulled
desperately, the hook gave way, and
there was the joker, fiat on his back,
staring up Into the sky. Upon my
soul" he exclaimed, perceiving the
moon, 81 have had a bad fall, but |
have put the moon back in its place"

Professional players are practicing
