Dtckover, American consul at Kobe. Japan. In commenting on the Increas ing popularity of golf In Japan, Consul Dickover tells solemnly of the crows that Infest the links of the Mlko club and make away with the balls, even those sticking to the fairways. Members of the Mlko, the consul as serts, are authority for the statement that some of the astute Nlponese cud dles seemingly have whut might be called a working agreement with the crows, by which the balls are traded for food, says a Washington letter in the Philadelphia Public Ledger. At least, the members ure at a loss to ac count for tbe large number of balls the caddies offer for sale. Consul Dickover says that there are four good golf courses In the vicinity of Kobe, and one Is perched on Mount Rokko, 2,500 feet above sea level, and la regarded aa exceedingly sporty, par ticularly because of the hazard en countered In getting to the course. There Is no carriage road up the moun tain, so that golfers en route to the links must be drawn in Jlnrlklshas or go afoot, assisted by a coolie, who aids progress up the steep Inclines by push ing the putting pedestrian with a bam boo pole.

Aamaury Talbot, who had an op portunity to learn something about two of the beat-known Leopurd societies, lias thia to say In Adventure Maga zine about the Sierra Leone branch: “Members of this society can often be recognized at sight, as many of them have the sharply protruding fore head, caused by pressure applied In Infancy by their mothers. "When the society wishes to kill a man certain members are chosen for the deed. These are armed with a set of Iron Instruments fastened Inside both hands, and they track their vic tim until they come upon him In a lonely part of the bush. They watch their opportunity, suddenly spring upon him from behind and seise him by the throat. Should the body ever be discovered, the marks upon It so ex actly resemble those made by leopard claws that the death Is put down to those beasts.” So that the clsws are useful as well os emblematic 1 And It Is evident that members of the Leopnrd society are brought up to It from Infancy. Store Wrecked by Autos 40 Timas. There Is a corner drug store In Faris close to the terminus of the Northern railroad which possesses an Irresistible attraction for motor-driven vehicles. Placed Just below the meet ing point of two rapidly descending streets, It has been wrecked forty times In the last thirteen years. Three months ago a motorcyclist drove through its glass front and died on (he spot. A few days later a motor lorry crashed through Into the middle pf the shop without causing any fatali ties. Recently a taxicab went right through the store, breaking the large red-colored globes that still mark a drug store In France, overturning the counter and doing about $1,500 worth of damage to the atock. The proprie tor of the store complains that these fepeated mishaps are ruining his busl- ess; his shop is forever under repairs ad customers go elsewhere. t Phoenician Stone. Mr. P. F.

Economic breakdown, valueless j money and other things combine to make of thta situation one of the most appalling in the world’s history.
