GLOBE TROTTING FOR A LIVING.

Prior to their New Zealand engagemen', he clever pair of artists, Wat s (Joe) and Lucas (Madge), at present successfully appearing at the Auckland Opera House, completed a three years’ tour, which, was not, however, unattended with exciting experiences. They were sta ioned in San

Francisco at the time of the earthquake, but fortunately received no injury. Leaving Fr'sco, they journeyed to Japan, and whilst there visited Yokohama, Kobo tllid Nagasaki. The trip to China was then made, and among the owns they s ayed a: were Shanghai, ChelTo. Tie nsin. Hankow and Pekin. From there tb.ev went to the island of Hong Kong, the w • to Siam, and afterwards visited th:- French settlement of Saigon. The Malay S ates formed the next move, after which Penang, Java and Summatra were visited in turn, ind the voyage back to Austral’a made. It is interesting to note that when in China Mr. Watts ob- . fined a one cent. British Guiana samp from a Russian Count, and it has since transpired hat he is one of the only two individuals who can number that partiular kind of stamp among their possess ons.
