Tho Habit. of the walrus.

Although the walrus is a formidable
looking animal, especially when he
rears his huge head and cleaning tusks
out of the water within a few feet of
your boat, Mr.. Elliott says he is not
only timid, harmless and inoffensive,
but not even given to fighting in his
own family. His tusks, which vary in
length from twenty to thirty inches,
and in weight average from six to eight
pounds each, were given him to dig
clans with, and are of precious little
use to him either in fighting or defend
ing himself from attack He sleeps
comfortably in the open sea, floating
bolt upright in the water, with his nos
trils out and his hind 1lippers hanging
q dozen feet below Nature purpogely
built him in the shape of buoy, so
that when sleeping or resting at sea
the buoyancy of his huge, blubber-
cased forequarters brings his nostrils
out of the water without the slightest
effort on his part. He grunts and bel
lows great deal, solely for his own
amusement, apparently, and many a
time have vessels been warned off dan
gerous rocks in thick, foggy weather

ABOUT FISHING TACKLE.
How to Mend . Rod and SMELL Instead oI
Throwing Thorn Awny.

How to Mend Rod and Snelt Instead Of
Throwing Thorn Away.
One OF the first things n young fish.
erman must learn is to do everything
neatly. bungling bit of work, es-
pecially about the hook, will be apt to
scare away game fish, Some prefer
plain hooks on this account, as they
can be fastened to the line more neatly
than hooks with eyes. If possible, have
silk line rather than linen one. 1t
will not cost much and is stronger and
frmcr than linen. Always take along
a bit of shoemalSer's wax and spool of
stout silk, red or white being the best
colors If your 6sherman's kit can be
further provided with n pair of pliers
and a vial OF asphaltum varnish, so
much the better. Many fishermen use
hooks attached to smells or lengths of
gut. The diagram given in Fig. i.
shows the best way of attaching the
loop at the end of the smell to the line.
1t is most easily done when fastened IN
this way. Put knot in the extreme
end of the line (a), pass it through the
loop of the smell OBJ and proceed as
in diagram, drawing smell and line
tight to make the knot fast. Well,
suppose you are out for days fishing
and your smell breaks, as it usually
does, Just where the hook is fastened to
it. Do not throw them away, but
scrape the shank of the hook clean or
take fresh hook. Soak the smell in
water about ten minutes to soften it.
Hold the hook with the left hand,
or with pliers, take the silk, well
waxed, and twist it several times
about shank of hook, as seen in Fig.
III. between and b. Lay end of gut
along the shank over the silk (see c-d)
and, reversing the direction. wind the
silk firmly around all. Gig. I'LL,
whipping it closely and evenly along,
and pulling the silk tightly at each
twist, occasionally showing the twists
closely together with the thumb nail
or knife. Continue the twisting about
half an inch, then make loose loop
Gig. I'LL, g., lay the slack end Zig. III,
b) of the silk rlong the outside of the
coil. Continue the wrapping for three
or four twists outside, of b, slipping
the loop (c) over hook each time, then
draw tightly and cut off all loose ends.
| Rub this wrapping well with wax,
smooth down with knife handle and
cover with waterproof varnish. If this
is properly done, the joining is stronger
than it originally was. If no varnish
Is handy the hook could be used for
day without it. AS gut and hooks
can be bought separately cheaper than
the tied. hooks, preparing them all in
this way will save pocket money.
Watch the tying and revarnish when
necessary. Keep an eye also on the
smell and wrappings and repair or re-
place them when they appear at all
worn, or else you may lose big fish
some day.
If the gut should break at the head
of the loop, soak it until soft, lay it
back on itself sufficient distance to
form a new loop and tie in common
knot, cutting the short end off.
When rod breaks cut the broken
ends slantwise, being careful to make
these ends fit together as in Fig. w

Curious Facts Regarding the Black Bear

Curious Facts Regarding the Black Bears
Winter Sleep.
One of the mostVcurious things about
the black bear land the grizzly and

snug winter quarters when winter has
fairly set in, and lies dormant in his
den without either eating or drinking
until the next spring. This is called
Information; and during this period
the ordinary processes of digestion
seem to be entirely suspended. In our
semi-tropics bears do not hibernate,
but nature undoubtedly planted this
instinct in the brain of the bear of the
north to enable him to survive the Sc
we're winter period when the SHOWS lie
deep. and all food is so scarce that
otherwise he would be in danger of
starvation. This period of Information
is from about the middle of December
to the middle of March. 1t has been
stated that if bears have plenty of food
they will not hibernate, even in the
north, but this is mistake. l know
of at least two instances wherein bears
in captivity have ''holed up" in De-
cember and remained dormant until

Two OF the boys, each holding hat
