On this occasion six mirrors were at tached to a billiard tabic, and ti c I'rcfoseor pointed oat how easy it was fey a novice by their aid to make diflicult strokes. He ex plained that the reason was because the mirrors showed distinctly th.- result of each and scientific explanation, he promised. would soon be forthcoming in a book on whie i he Las been engaged for some months. Hxpprt players in Europe are surprised that this simple and exceptionally interest ins discovery was not made before, and all stroke, or, in other words, facilitated the arce that the game will be vastly improvea novice's play as much as possible.

Real PuMan Car, In some of the interior portions of Mexico many primitive and curious sights are to be met. A typical and striking illustration of this Is the picture of a learned Mexican jndce going in his state coach to hold his court in a distv.t town. His vehicle is what can be termed liter ally th original 'Tnll-man coach." though decidedly void of the sp-ed and luxury of its present day namesake. 4.

He earns$Cj0 per month for his master by catching possums. lie does not hunt rabbits or any other game, having no nosa for anything but pos sums, lie does not bark when on the r trail; he runs silently and barks only when he has caught the 'possum on the ground and shaken U or has treed it. U3 has caught as many as 15 In one day. Towser belonps to Jim Anderson, em ployed by Ulchard H. Smith, on Lis faria back of St. James, Long Island. Tlntat pays 25 cents for every 'possum killed, and the Nlssequojrnc Gun Club pny un addi tional 23 cents for every one killed on Itt game reserves, because 'possnms cnt quail eggs and otherwise Injure the hunting. The skins are als? worth semcthlug af the furriers'. A DELIGHTFUL PRISON. It Is very doubtful If there Is anywhere a more deiightful prison than that of Tobel, in Switzerland. There are very few guards, not more than one to every 25 prisoners, and they never think of carrying arms. The prisoners cells are constantly open, so that the inmates can easily communlAte with each other and can tell at any time what the guards are doing. Moreover, til prisoners are allowed to have paper, ink, newspapers, cider and various dainties from the kitchen. Including fried eggi, of whlca they are very fond. )ne would suppose that pr!or.er wonll not desire to leave such an earthly paiadl-i as this, yet three notorious murderer I.oli rer, Scbinld aud Hiss quietly Mrodid away from It reeeutly,- hd1.

Any proportion or size destrea may ve made, long or narrow, or almost round, the largest limited only by the length of the beam to which the drawing point Is at tached and the smallest by the length of the body of the instrument. The most Important feature Is the, auto-matt'- sliding tram, running at right ang-es t''ougi the body of the instrument, always r.-oirinlins on the opposite side to that of ihe drawing point, thereby preventing any interference and allowing great range of sizes and proportions. . . . To operate the space on the pnp"r to b. occupied by the oval can bo filleted to !lnl the center, and I he insti um nt. p..i-eii in position. Notches a! each i:'l n' 'law make it possible to determine H' n("" rately.
