A Sample.
The golang novice prepared for his shot with the usum elabora- tion. He addressed the ball, swung with his club, brought it down smack upon the turf. The ball travelled three yards, the turf travelled ten. Is no
way dismayed, he strode forward and picked up the piece of furf he had displaced. This was as it should be. But everyone gasped when he put it in his pocket.
"You mustn't do that, sir!" cried the caddie."You must re- place the turi!”
"Nonsense!" replied the novice. "There's plenty left. I'm going to send this to a friend who wants to know what the course is like.

One Civilian
The only civilian dboard is Prö- fessor Vening Memes. He will carry out, experiments concerning the force of gravitation- and also the influence of cosude TaYS - ON various submarine dentha with the
aid of a self-registering apparatus invented by the Dutch Professor Clay.«
Commander Hetterschif will have a special mission to accomplish on
behalf of the British Admiralty, when the K XVIII will appear be- fore the astonished eyes of the Tristan da Cunha populace, who have never seen a submarine.
The British Admiralty asked the Commander to report on the state of affairs there, and also to obtain information about the descendants of one Peter Green. It seems that this man was an ambitious 'Dutch-" man, who left Holland in 1828, and was shipwrecked off Tristan da Cunina, where he married an Eng lish wife.
In a short time, Green became "King" of the four small nearby islands. In a letter to friends in Holland he explained that the only thing which had prevented him from being completely happy, was that he could not sell all his cows and sheep.
