[Rejected because, although an extremely able and interesting paper in itself, it is found by experience that this sort of high-science essay requires high people to write it if it is to have a chance of being read. Nobody under the rank of a Duke should dabble in magazine science. What's the use of calling it a Peery-odical otherwise, eh?] 4. "_Is_ Madagascar really the Largest Island but Two?" "How I Never Went to Korea." "China as my Great-Uncle said that he once Knew It." "A Muscovite Moujik, by a British Bore." [Rejected because this kind of "symposium" on topical subjects can be got much better, as the above writers have chiefly got it, from the daily papers. Without some magazine padding of the sort, however, "none is genuine," and the above is not much more hopeless drivel than is usually inserted.] * * * * * ON THE LIST.--Without going back to the still undiscovered horrors in the East End, we have sufficient material in the two diamond robberies Holborn district and a bomb in Mayfair to warrant us in asking where is that much-wanted SHERLOCK HOLMES? "HOLMES, HOLMES, HOLMES, SWEET HOLMES, Wherever we wonder is one chap like HOLMES!" * * * * * The L.C.C. AND THE CHURCH.--"_The church was condemned as dangerous by the London County Council._" Is not such a paragraph as the above calculated to frighten all the good people who are so anxious on the subject of religious education? Why, certainly. Fortunately the church in question is only "All Saints Church, Mile End," which had to be repaired and restored, and which was re-opened by "LONDIN" (which signature, with "B" for "Bishop" before it, would become "BLONDIN") last Thursday. "All's well that ends well," as says the Eminently Divine VILLIAMS. * * * * * [Transcriber's Note: Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation are as in the original.] End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Punch, Or the London Charivari Volume 107, November 17, 1894, by Various
