From the report of a speech by Admiral Sir Percy Scott:—

"He might say that when the Germans were demolarised at the Battle of Jutland ..."

Scottish Paper.

This confirms our impression that, whatever happened at Jutland, we certainly drew the German Navy's teeth.


QUESTIONS.

How did mankind get to all corners of the earth? and what is the cause of exploding suns? These are among the questions put by Professor A. W. Bickerton, of the London Astronomical Society, and they would be solved, it seems, if our learned men would only band themselves together. I have no wish to hamper the good work, but a moment's reflection suggests a number of other questions simply asking to be answered.

For instance, what happens when an irresistible force meets Sir Eric Geddes?

And why is it that while we hear of thousands of people losing their umbrellas we have never yet heard of a single case where a man openly admitted that he had found one?

And is there any reason why the modern novel should not end happily, instead of the hero and heroine always marrying at the last moment.
