VOLCANOES AND EARTHQUAKES.

From the Royal Magnetic and Mete- orological Observatory, Batavia, it was learnt that during the whole of last year in the eastern islands 1,545 volcanic erup. tione took place. The most active ones were from the mountains of Fapandajan, Kawah Idjen, Slamat, Bromo, Sepoetan (Minshasa) and the Ternate and Semo- eroe Peaks. The number of earthquake shocks registered was 438. In 1922 the figures were 1,338 for volcanic eruptions and 476 for earthquakes.

White dabs the man who described golf as a "succession of recoveries," at a perfect foot. The last thing any golfer ever, wants to andy is the art of recovery. Prevention is a thousand times better than care, and a stroke along a fairway is worth two in a bush." The ideal to aimat, he declares, is the condition in which no recoveries are ever needed.
