The unlosable golf ball has'\nbeen patented.   No matter \"where it is\ndriven\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdon the \"fairway, in the rough\nor into the innermost depths of the\nmost hazardous hazard\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdit will come,\nfiguratively   speaking, -romping   back \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nlike a tousled collie who has just had a\ndip in the surf.- The formula'of the \"\ninventor is comparatively\" simple.   By',\napplication of the process, golf balls\nthat have strayed\" from their -owners\nmay be found by .asserting themselves\nto the sight, smelljor hearing.\nFancy hearing a lost golf ball calling >\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nto its master! But that is precisely *\nwhat this inventor contemplates. The\nball is. covered or immersed' iri a\npyrotechnic solution similar' to the\nmaterial from which\" \"spit-devils\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nused by small boys on Fourth \"of July-\nare made. When the ball is struck it\nfulminates and continues ' to crackle\nand sputter for some minutes, or per- '\nhaps moments, thereby enabling- the\ngolfer to find it. If that device is unsatisfactory, or annoys?the owner who\nobjects to hearing little golf balls calling _. him, he may immerse the ball,\noefore teeing off, in a solution of phosphorus and carbon bisulphide. As the\nsolvent evaporates the phosphorus will\nemit a perceptible glow,'even in daylight. If the golfer wants to-play at\nnight, so be it.      : -   .-\nBut the most aesthetic appeal of the\nunlosable golf ball is through the sense\nof smell.   The ball is coated with some\nof the essential oils, such as attar of\nroses-expensive? yes, but what ma?- '\ners that to the ardent golfer?-and ,\nthereby gives off a pleasing. and. per- \"\nvading aroma.\nImagine two golfers \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd meeting in the\nrough searching for balls that have '\nstrayed beyond' their ken. \"     -\n\"hereii-S1'' \"'^ \"^-?niffing POlit*ly' '\nThe other may raise his head, also \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nsniffing politely, then adding-\nthSrr5nnrd   thankS'    0W    ChaP'    bUfc\nthats not mine.

The appeal was cast in an economical mold, and was designed to\nshow the farmers that they were losing heavily through the import of\nforeign liqours and the reduced consumption of home-grown barley from\nwhich whisky is made.\"\nThe appeal produced exactly the opposite effect from that intended. Indeed, no regret was expressed that forty distilleries had been closed since\nthe war, and one member of the chamber even went so far as to say that if\nthe increased duty had.made Scotland\nmore.sober, the best thing they could\ndo would be to raise the duty by another 25 per cent.
