Lively Fishing in Australia,

Fishing in Moreton bay, Queensland,
is scarcely sport; it is a piscatorial
battle. You are hauling up from the
bottom, fathoms down, a burden which
taxes all the strength and makes the
perspiration ooze from every pore; vet
it is grand fun for a while. The fish
bite fast and furious. AS your line,
after yielding its captive, is recast, It
throws out cOruscations Of silver in its
rapid descent. Soon your eye discerns,
fathoms deep, an almost impalpable
flashing to and fro. as If a FURNISHED
platter were gyrating in an eddy; 1t
assumes a lovely pink hue as you
bring it neare the surface. and then.
in a twinkling, a burly schnapper of
seven or eight pounds Is tapping Wig
orously ard noisily on deck.
Sometimes it is a fish Mt every haul,
and under these circumstances not the
least amusing part of the sport ia the
spectacle Of a crowd of excited men
jumping around a score of big fish,
which are doing their best to convey
their amazement and indignation to an
unfecling world. Sea Fishing.

A Region of Outdoor Life Decidedly
Favorable to Health.
The Fastener bred and born at sea
level, has a very vague idea Of that
part Of his country, which is at cloud
height, and he has scarcely any con-
ceptiOn of the governing climate of
such a section. The purely pictures
que appeals to the tourist and he
gives hardly u thought, surely not q
serious one, to the high altitude Sec
ton through which he passes.
The A~dirondacks have accomplished
wonderful temporary healings and
permanent cures for certain pulmon-
airy troubles, yet their beneficial re-
suits do not compare in extent with
those of that section which lies at an
altitude varying from $500 to 5000
feet above the sea, known as the high
and dry Rocky Mountain belt, whose
heart is Colorado.
From a statistical comparative
weather bureau report little idea could
be formed of this climate, for in these
comparative statements the dry and
raritied condition of the air is not full
ly appreciated. The dominant feature
of this high altitude is light, dry and
electrical atmosphere. with it's abund-
ant sunshine and clear weather. This
Is true of all seasons at the 6,O00-foot
level, for while rain falls in torrents
for an hour nearly every day during
May, June, July and August. the sun
always shines the rest Of the day, and
ten minutes after the rain has ceased
the sandy roads are dry, and the air
does not retain moisture. After these
months not a drop of water falls from
the cloudless sky, and snow storms
are few and light.
The mercury occasionally drops to
20 degrees below zero during winter
nights and rises to 60 degrees in the
shade the following morning, while
In summer, although a blanket Is al
ways a nightly necessity, the Their
mometer often registers 80 degrees
during the day, and the heat of the
sun Is always intense. These ex-
tremes are much less keenly felt than
they would be at sea level, owing to
the dryness of the air.

ton is from 5000 to 1000 feet. There
