knew enough about the finny prizes
not to go fishing in the glare of the
hot sun. With them angling was so
much time spent in getting provender

M.ximun Heat of Water.

Water boils at temperature of 81.
degrees, but having been brought to
that temperature, it can not be made
any hotter. The reason of this is not
generally understood, and yet it is
quite simple. Boiling is only another
name, for steam-making, the agita.
ton and bubbling being caused by
the escape of the steam into which
the heat has converted the particles
of water. It is the escape of the
steam that prevents the water from
getting any hotter than 212 degrees.
for it takes heat away with it, thus
keeping the temperature from rising.

Shorn of,all technicalities, the lure OF
the dry-ay man is dry insect with
the wing cooked just as if the fly
were really floating down stream.
The many attempts necessary to get
that fly near where the trout rise.
the frequent recourse to drying the
fy's wings and giving them coat
ing of paraffine, all to scientifically
hook the pretty trout, all tend to
brighten the man who has but two
weeks vacation from his city duties.
You might read by the hour the
book of Henry p. Wells, on ely Rods
and Fly-Tackle," and learn many
things from this recognized expert
fisherman whose words are gospel
to anglers, and if you have not the
disposition to fish correctly, you will
always have mediocre fortune: Mr..
Wells advises those who would use
the rod and fly that adroitness and
efficiency in casting may be gained
by practicing casting with a friend on
the fat of a city building or even on
an available lawn. Inasmuch as the
author of "The American Salmon
Fisherman" is accepted as the stand
ard authority on all matters pertain
ing to American fishing, it would not
be a bad investment for the tackle
box to have copy of the widely read
book.
But why bother with SO many kind
of flies? In all your career as an
angler yo,e might not tie more than
a few dozen kinds of flies. yet the
catalogues of the sportsmen's sup.
ply houses show thousands of pat
terms. John Harrington Keene, an
expert angler and teacher of the art
Of making flies. says that IS per cent.
of these artificial affairs are useless
unless you have nothing else in your
tackle box.

This same authority says that the
capricious black bass is far too brut-
ish to dream of initiating dainty
ephemera for his feeding. This fish
will gobble the immature dragon fly
as it reaches the surface of the wa
ter, and do the same with other pseu-
do-imagos of the same type. How
ever, while he is taking these, he will
seize an artificial fly, either on or un-
der the water. # the color and form
happen to suit him, he will rush on it
like lion-the true game fish jerk
will be given, and your nerves will
Jingle so that you would not give five
minutes of fighting with one of these
fish for a weeks pay. Sometimes for
the fastidious bass it is a good
scheme, however, to have an inter-
changeable fly. Mr.. Keene has used
q fly for years that is SO we'll made
that a dozen of them, each section
differing, represents IA changes of
fly. To put it simply, If you wish to
follow this scheme, you may make
one dozen flies equal gross of the
ordinary fly.
A glance at the details of this fly
shows that the body of the fly placed
above the shank of the hook, is imi-
tated by a tube of silver or celluloid
anything that will not rust. To a
common black-headed steel pin are at
tached the wings and legs.
All the fisherman has to do is to
insert the pin in the orifice of the
tube and cast away. Everything fits
tightly, and the passage through the
air maintains the parts in connection.
If strong fish in struggling did
throw out the pin, it would be an
easy matter to insert another, and
you are again ready for work. The
conventional floating May fly" and
exact imitation MAY fly" first made
in London several years ago, have
been made very often by American
fishermen and used with great sue
cess.
Mnskallonge fishermen are in the
dumps. Those who went after the
"wolf Of the waters" in the lakes of
Wisconsin and Minnesota this spring,
have arrived at the conclusion that
his royal highness, Sir Musky, has
left for parts unknown. Don't think
that this voracious but gamy fish has
been exterminated in these cold lake
districts. There are still many mus

and great deal of patience to cap.
ture them. Several years of indis.
criminate. fishing in the former al
most virgin lakes of the wilds of
Wisconsin and Minnesota have brought
the fisherman face to face with the
result of his work. Trolling, trolling
until the glitter of the spoon has
flashed into every dark recess of tho
deep lakes, has educated the muslsy.
He must be, caught by the exercise
of the most improved art, just as the
fish in England are captured by the
most efficient disciples of Walton. In
hopes of tempting the musky, many
anglers have given up casting bait
and are trying still fishing. If the
great northern pike, sort Of cousin
to the musky, will take big bait

BRUTE FORCE.

June 2S.-The
seeds Of brute force and lawlessness
sowed in the two last political cam

forth fruit after its kind. On Mon
day morning, the 18th Of June, an
arrest was made In due course of
law by the town constable for drunk
enness and obscene language in the
hearing Of ladies at the hotel the
preceding Saturday night. The
mayor of the town, as the offender
when sober, was quiet, industrious,
good citizen, discharged the prisoner
on payment of fine of one dollar
and cost to the officer, and remain
in custody till paid.
A former election constable
who had guarded poll keepers
with guns by their side, backed by
Others of their friends, stepped for
ward with their hands in their
pockets, and demanded the instant
release Of the prisoner, thus dictat-
ing to the Mayor who was to be ar
rested and punished in the discharge
of his duties as mayor. The town
constable at once resigned his Office,
followed by the mayor; and this is
the good government of the domi-
nant party, and these men are
backed by the machine that shot
poll keepers, seized ballot boxes and
stacked guns In churches and ware
houses, intimidated the 1O9,543
white majority in order that they
