HINTS FOR FISHERMEN.
A Few Words About Lines. Hooks, Reels.
Floats and Sinkers.

Lines should be sound and strong. hut
not too heavy for the rod. Twisted lines
are more easily found Of good quality, but
braided lines kink less. Twenty yards are
quite enough for any fishing of the kind
we are considering and half as much
would usually suffice.
Hooks should be of the best quality to
be had. Good hooks are still practically
all made in England. Shapes which have
received names are many, and most of
them have advantages for particular kinds
OF fishing. Among the best are o Shaugh.

and Sproat The last named we think,
will meet more kinds of need than any
other one. AS to size, 1t should be remem.

the fish's mouth; very small fish can
take any ordinary hook

reel is better than any multiplier, except
for the one matter of making long casts
from the reel, which beginner is not like.

For fly casting, a leader or casting line

Thought Transference.

In an address delivered before the So.
ciety For Psychical Research there were
number of excellent arguments advanced
on the subject of telepathy, or thought
transference. The speaker took the ground
that much of what seems obscure in this
world is so largely because we take Ger
tain position for granted and then argue
from it. The wave theory is admitted by
all scientists, and 1t is not impossible or
indeed improbable that intense thought
concentrated by one person upon sympa.
thetic friend or associate should produce q
distinct impression and create a telepathic
current which should convey brain waves
to the mind of the individual upon whom
the thoughts were centered. 1t is pro-
posed tc study this subject and to make
tests and experiments with q view to as.
