A NATURAL GREEN LOCATION.

Take by way OF example, the first hole at
Musseburgh-"The Graves" No golfer could by
any stretch of his imagination think he had to
drive over the hollow wherein the hole is situated
20 some spot on the further side The appearance
of the ground, without any flag being visible IN
dIcates that the hollow must contain hole. While
1.-The Graves is cited example. these
marks apply to many other holes to be found
on the older greens. The ideal spot for a putting
green is such a position Will give forth the
suggestion previously mentioned-viz. that stage
of the game has been reached.
On the other hand. given a badly placed hole
such as n dead level fiat. level on all
sides. in front and behind. if broken up by
neatly cut bunkers, there is nothing here to dis
tinguish the putting green from the surrounding
country save the closely cropped grass. Here
there is no suggestion to the mind of stopping
place and no apparent reason except the danger
signal of red flag why the golfer should not
mass hv unheedng and drive into the distance be-
vond In one case golf is being played over a
roIr links: in the other. field with some
holes punched in the ground.
Some years ago a green was opened In part
of Great Britain hitherto uncivilized by golf. As
tho club prospered it resolved TO invite visit
from, the late Tom Morris and obtain his sug
eestions upon the When Tom arrived
tho erst thing he did TO alter the position OF
nearly every hole, and considerable astonishment
WAS occasioned by the way he utilized the natural
canabiIities OF the ground. which had hitherto
heen overlooked. This same rearrangem@nt. OF

states Well known professionals such as George

IT not long ago that the eighteen-hole cir

complete overhauling The Country Club of At

more are in prospect. II has ever been main
taned that the playing length. falling as 1t does
a trife inside OF six thousand yards. is too short
for modern golf. but this is matter which can
he remedied without serious difficulty, the
club has 1t within its power to add at least two
hundred yards TO advantage.
Ever since the women held their national cham
pionship tournament over the Chevy Chase Club
links last fall the officials of that organization have
realized that their Too easy. The result
Is that alterations will be started there at no dis
tant date There ere a number of attractive holes
which will probably be left they are while others
can be materially improved.

stone of "a grains which was sold for 2,4O0

The emerald is transparent or translucent,
being brittle and comparatively soft when
freshly mined. but becomes much harder on
exposure to air. The gem is cut on a copper
wheel with emery and polished on a tin wheel
with rotten stone. In a good stone the sur
face must be perfectly straight and smooth.
the form usually given being that OF a square
table with the edges replaced, the lower sur
face being cut into facets parallel to the sides.
The Colombian gems exhibit to the highest
degree the qualities of color. brilliancy, flaw
lessnes, and size characteristic of the best en-
eralds, and the Muzo district is at present the
principal source of supply. The matrix In
which they are embedded overlies a great prec-
spice of black shale or slate. This black rock
contains few stones. They are found for the
most part in white calcite running in veins
through the slate, some being embedded in
the matrix, and others lying In pockets.
Under great heat and pressure, due. no doubt
to further and subsequent volcanic action.
these minerals in the assures or veins have
crystallized In different shapes and forms ac-
cording to the various minerals contained In
any particular vein or assure. Under favor
able circumstances, the most beautiful emer-
aids Of q deep green color have been found
In these small veins. the tint being due to the
presence OF chrome In sufficient quantities. In
other veins. the emeralds found are Of a light
green color. owing to the absence of sufficient
chrome. Again. In other veins. where no
chrome Is present. the crystals are pure white
or colored red or yellow by oxide OF iron.
Many OF the crystals are pure silica. and 9TH
