Golf in HiQh Attitudes.

1t is strange how many golfers
there are who fail to appreciate the
great effect the density of atmosphere
has on the fight of golf ball. On
still, misty day the ball flies about five
yards to ten yards less than 1t does
on frosty day when the air is keen
er and more rarefied; and it is always
stated-whether truly. OF not is un-
known-that in an east wind the ball
flies farther than it does, when the
wind blows from the opposite and
more acceptable quarter.
The writer was fortunate, or unfor-
tunate, enough to play many rounds
a. few years. ago on the johannesburg
links in South Africa. These links are
situated some 5000 feet above sea
level, and the air is wonderfully rare
fed. The ball consequently flew the
most surprising distance; as proof of
this the winner of a driving competi-
ton sent ball carry of 228 yards,
the second player returning the mod
est distance of 223 yards. Yet neith-
er Of these players could approach the
driving capabilities Of good amateur
golfers.-Country Life. -

Big Sale of Land for Taxes in June

Rahm mansion, Fifth avenue and
Ninth street, was assessed for $4.O8.
This has grown, including interest, so
that the debt to the city to-day is
$500. =,
The DeRahm property is now worth
100000 and the Van Buren, plot
$2,000,000.. The Stewart building, at
Broadway and Chambers street, which
Felix 1sman bought a few years ago
for more than 100000 from the es-
tate Of Judge Hilton, is one of the par
cells involved. The city has been
charging Judge Hilton, and later his
heirs, with a debt of so cents due for
water rents since 1853.

Opponents of vivisection are not
likely to find serious fault with the
phase in which it presented itself at
Hubbardston, Mass, the other day. A
five-year-old girl, who had lost eight
inches OF skin by scalding, lay at the
point OF death, and surgeons cut a Sec
ton OF cuticle from pig and grated

uncertain If the contribution of cuticle
