Are billiards dying out, and are mo
toring and golf killing them? In 1894
the French Treasury returns noted
$4,000 billiard tables the country. This
year the figure is only $4,000 The
Treasury laments the fact not from
any disinterested love for the grand
old game but because every billiard
table pays a heavy tax. Motoring OF
course contributes its fun share TO the
inland revenue here as well as else
where, but SO far the royal and ancient
pastime, which is quite new here, pays
nothing to the state However, that
may come in due course, and golf
club balls, caddies and links may be
taxed to make up for the shrinkage liz
billiard tahlcs.--London Telegraph.

A Forest OF Stone in Australia.

In Albany in Australia, Is TO be seen
stone forest--in other words, petri-
fed trees. The trees are OF gray
stone. II Is suggested as an explana-
tion OF the strange phenomenon that
in the depths OF past ages the forest
was in full vegetation, and then
through some upheaval OF the earth IL
water acting on the sand penetrated
the branches and solidihed. The
wood gradually disappeared under the
layer Of stone, and in time took It's
form. Then in succeeding years, the
winds again carried away the sand.
and the forest appears anew, but OF
stone. London Globe.

ues among the counties in which

res, Grant has l.s77, 100 acres
