GOLF IN THE DARK.
Experiment on the Links With
Luminous Golf Balls.

Manchester Correspondent London News.
To the ordinary. uninitiated specta-
tor. golf as IL is played today is often
funny enough. but there are untold
possibilities Of humor in the latest de-
velopment of the game. which a couple
Of members OF the Old Trafford Club
recently introduced to a somewhat be-
wildered and boisterously skeptical
crowd.
Doubling a little. yet not without
faith. the two players left the club
house after pm. and with a big fol-
lowing tramped in the darkness to the
first tee. The first player took ball
from his pocket and teed IL in the usual
manner. The crowd promptly express
ed establishment. Though IL was a
moonless and cloudy night, the ball
shone bright in gloom-a strange.
purple sphere visible at a distance OF
about twenty yards.
"Ha, ha." cried the player as he wrig-
gled his club. swung his arms and
smote. The ball went ahead dart OF
light; and it was the crowd that said
"Ha. ha.' when it disappeared.
Ball No. 2 followed suit. and every
body strobe forward in the direction OF
the hole. Unfortunately, neither Of the
players was a scratch man. and both
shots had been erratic. but although
one ball was pulled and the other sliced.
both were found after a little search.
though the electric lgnt IN the chester
road made the task more difficult than
IT otherwise would have been. Approach
shots were duly played. and there was
great jubiliation when one of the balls
touched the pin.
Other essays were made and another
putting green reached. The pair who
were giving the exhibition. however.
were in anything but form, and as the
''caddies" got tired Of the slicing and
pulling. the venture was shortly after
ward concluded. 1t showed. however.
that there is great sport in the idea.
particularly to good players in good
form, who can guess. within certain
limits. on courses they know where a
ball is likely to go.
The golf balls used at Old Trafford
were coated in luminous paint. and
they had been made after many expert
ments by lecturer in chemistry at
the Municipal School Of Technology.

The Motor Cyclists.
ON the Louisville Courier Journal.

From the Louisville Courier Journal
Motor cycles. like automobiles, are use-
full and quite harmless when driven by
persons who do not leave their brains at
home and who wish to be decently cour-
teous to others when they are riding
their machines.
Any one who takes a sufficient interest
in public safety to observe will note tina,
In Louisville the motor cyclists are more
prone to violate speed laws than are per-
sons who drive motor cars. The spec
tacle Of motor cycles proceeding at the
rate OF from thirty to forty miles an
hour within the city limits is common.
Motor cycles may be very nearly as dam
gerous as heavy motor cars. There Is a
motor cycle club Of respectable member
ship In Louisville II would popularize
itself and the sport IL II should make an
effort to discourage the combination OF
lunacy and brutality that Is represented
by the motor cyclist who drives his ma
chine at a speed that menaces public
safety.

The Pinnscles

The are four localities in Mis-

The Missouri bluffs at Miami are
about $50 feet high. They extend
southwardly at about the same
elevation, and some four miles
from Miami the summit is called
THE Pinnacles." Here the sur
face breaks off suddenly on the
west for more than one hundred
feet below, to the Petite Usage
plains, commonly spoken of as the
Iete saw plains. These plains are
much above the line of overflow
from the Missouri and are several
mile wide and 5 or 10 miles in
length and form a beautiful and
rich piece of land. The view Of
the Pinnacles is fine. In 1872 l wa

covered with a fine growth OF
large trees, including black oaks
three feet in diameter. Since then
they have been cut down. There
are seen the ruins OF an old FORTH

surrounded by bitches and earth
walls-three walls with bitches be-
~tween-the walls built of the earth
dug from the bitches. 1t is three
feet from bottom of ditch to top
of wall; formerly it was more, but

Sea Monster Again

Galveston, Tex, April 26.-In the
Gulf of Mexico about 1875 miles
north of Campechy, Mexico, on
Sunday morning about 8 o'clock,
the r of the steamship Avalon,
Captain j. E. Haggarty, sighted
what they declared was a sea SER
pent and the description they give
tallies exactly with that furnished
by the crew and passengers of the
steamship Livingstone in the same
regions on January %, 1908.
The witnesses in their assertions
describe the fish, or animal as be-
ing about 100 feet long, some es-
innate the length about 40 to $50
feet. 1t was about twenty to thir-
ty feet wide across the back and
in color a brownish black. It's
head, smaller than the body, e.
sembled that of a monster snake,
and it's mouth opened, appeared
big enough to swallow an ordin-
AIRY sized barrel.
Two large fins could be seen on
either side stretching put about
fifteen to twenty feet. A move
ment OF the tail created a rough
sea and a life boat being lowered
to get closer to the MYSTERY, was
wrecked. The vessel moved off
and the crew watched the serpent,
whose tail appeared to be blunt,
for many minutes until it sank be-
meath the surface.
A steamer is being fitted out
with a whaling cable and spears
and other paraphernalia to tour
the gulf in quest OF the sea ser
pent.
