d nearly everything that has been written on this subject and could yet draw great delight from _The Story of Our Submarines_ (BLACKWOOD), a most informing and fascinating book. "Whatever happens," says "KLAXON," "the German policy of torpedoing merchant ships without warning must be made not only illegal but unsafe for a nation adopting it.... If these notes of mine serve no other purpose, they will, at any rate, do something towards differentiating between the submarine and the U-boat." By which it will be seen that to his many other claims on our regard "KLAXON" adds the gift, not always found among experts, of modesty. * * * * * [Illustration: DISGUST OF AN ARTIST ON FINDING HIS ACADEMY SUCCESS OF 1899 AT AN AUCTION OF MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES LEFT BEHIND IN RAILWAY CARRIAGES.] * * * * * THE VISIT. When I went to Fairyland, visiting the Queen, I rode upon a peacock, blue and gold and green; Silver was the harness, crimson were the reins, All hung about with little bells that swung on silken chains. When I went to Fairyland, indeed you cannot think What pretty things I had to eat, what pretty things to drink; And did you know that butterflies could sing like little birds? And did you guess that fairy-talk is not a bit like words? When I went to Fairyland--of all the lovely things!-- They really taught me how to fly, they gave me fairy wings; And every night I listen for a tapping on the pane-- I want so very much to go to Fairyland again.
