in England and Scotland about the
beginning Of the seventeenth century.
It was played by the nobility, and was

called bands" and golf balls were
made Of leather and stuffed with feath-

practically the same then as it is now.

Locusts are devastating Southern AL

most to defy imagination. It is not
easy to conceive of an almost solid
phalanx Of insects 125 miles long by
six miles wide. Unfortunately the de-
vastation which such myriads Of vora-
cious insects must create in vegetation
is not so difficult to appreciate. Where
ever the host has passed nothing green
exists. Even the houses are becoming
uninhabitable. The Oran Province

In Nice, Italy, system Of small
sewers, from 80 to 40 centimeters in
diameter, has recently been introduced,
and the difficulty OF cleaning them has
led to the use of dogs for that purpose.
The dogs are trained to 90 through the
sewers carrying cord with which a
brush can be drawn to and fro. In
England electric engineers have for
some time past made use Of ferrets for
installing cables in small tubes. The
ferrets are sent through the tubes
carrying strings tied to their tails. A.

the electric cables into position.
