A CATCH OF RED SNAPpERs, FLORIDA.
California bays cannot. according to
many accounts. be excelled even by
Florida's famous tarpon. Tuna some
times weigh more than 200 pounds, and
the strength Of the rod and line that
will hold one Of them when he Is fairly
hooked ana the endurance Of the sue
cessful tuna fisherman can be imagin-
ed. Tuna fishing is royal sport and
must be experienced to be appreciated.
The fishing club par excellence of the
world Is certainly the Santa Catalina
Tuna club, which holds an annual tour
nament from May to Oct. off Santa
Catalina island, a short distance from
Los Angeles. Membership In the Tuna
club Is an honor not easily attained.
since the candidate must first catch
tuna weighing not less than 100 pounds
this with a rod and line, mind you,
There are only about 80 members, and
they hold their heads high when fish
are mentioned. The man who catches
the biggest tuna of the season Is elect
ed president for the ensuing year. Last
years candidate landed a tuna weigh
ing 1914 pounds.
The rules of the Tuna club require
that the fish be brought to gaff unaid-
ed and that the line must not exceed "a
strand. The fish must be reeled in,
and a broken rod or reel disqualifies
the luckless angler. Catching a mon
ster game, fighting tuna. 1t will be I'M
derstood. Is no child's play.
Next to the tarpon the best game fish
of the south land is the red snapper,
whose capture affords much sport ON
the Florida beaches. Snappers are deep
sea residents and among the gamest Of
American fishes. They will rise to flies.
but prefer live bait. such as minnows.
Squids may also be used with success.
To induce the snapper to bite 1t Is nee
essary to troll ones line at fairly
good rate.
These are only few Of the places
where royal sport with game fishes Is
to be enjoyed. There are many others
scattered all over our varied country,
and In almost all of them the spring Is
the best time to go out with rod and
line. Possibly there are other fishing
places better than those mentioned. for
who has ever met a fisherman who
|ould admit that any other spot could
be better than his favored locality?

A Savinw Quality.

Gilbert White, the naturalist. was
once a university proctor. and of his
performance of the Office this anecdote
Is told: ION his rounds one evening
White discovered an undergraduate ly-
Ing on the ground. sleeping the sleep Of
1ntoxication, with his outer garments
removed and neatly folded up at his
side. The proctor awoke him and sent
him to his college with an order to
appear the next day for Judgment.
The culprit turned up in highly con-
trite frame of mind. White said to
him: You deserve an exemplary pun
ishment, but observed one circum-
stance which shows you are not wholly
degraded. Your clothes were folded
up by your side. indicating habits Of
care and neatness which appear In
compatible with habitual degradation.
l shall therefore say no more.'"

Japan'a ImpregnabiIity.


The coast Of Japan. Notwithstanding
its long shore line and numerous har.
bors. offers scant allurement to an in
vading army. There is very little
beach. The bold crags and bluffs over
looking every spo, where modern
war vessel can ride at anchor are pro.
tected by strong fortitications defended
by the most modern guns.
Yeddo bay. the most feasible blight
for invading purposes. needs careful
navigation even by steamers of moder.
ate draft When torpedoes are planted
it is simply impregnable. says writer
in Golfers Weekly. When the war
with China broke out. small steamer
was selected to pilot merchant steam
ers up and down the bay. remember
perfectly the unexpected curves made
by this steamer. showing plainly the
countless dangers besetting q hostile
fleet regardless of the care that may
be used in feeling its way. No invad'
ing army could possibly land. and even
II it succeeded In doing so the rice
fields. readily submerged as they are.
would aid materially In thwarting the
advance and in isolating the enemy. A
successful invasion OF Japan Is simply
impossible.

TransIators' Stumbling Block

TransIatOrs' Stumbling Blocks.
Some amusing instances Of trans
lators' MISUNDERSTANDING are mention
ed by the LondoA Daily News. An
Italian paper not long ago turned Mr..
Rudyard Kipling's "Absentminded Beg
gar" into a ''Distracted Mendicant."
A footnote to the same version explain
ed ''son of Lambeth publican" as a
reference to Mr.. Kruger! The trans
lator who explains is often lost.
Another Italian editor who translat-
ed passage from an English paper
about a man who had killed his wife
with poker added an ingenious foot
note to say. I'VE do not know with GER
tainty whether this thing 'pokero' be a
domestic or surgical instrument"
In the French version of one of
Scott's novels Welsh rabbit has to be
dealt with. The translator. never hav-
ing met with that article of food. nat
urally turned it into ''un lapin de
Gales" Unfortunately be had some
doubt whether his countrymen would
understand this and added lengthy
footnote describing how the peculiarly
delicious favor of the rabbits of Wales
created large demand for them in
Scotland, whittier they were exported
in bulk that would compare with the
trade of Ostend.

AVALON BAY, HOME OF BIG TuNAs.
the winter months. many fly fishermen
make Of them Il voluntary ''close" sea
son.
In Florida, whose watery soil Is not
only surrounded by the fish producing
sea, but Is covered over with teeming
lakes and ponds, there are no restric-
tons on rod or line fishing, and Pisca-
tor may cast his fly undisturbed by
visions Of game wardens or fines. In
Delaware, where trout and black bass
hive been introduced, there is no closed
season, while in Virginia the ardent
sportsman may yank from its home
any kind Of fish except black bass all
the year round. The Virginia close
season for black bass extends from
May Is to July l.
To the fly fisherman who has the
time and money to roam farther afield
travellers tales open up an alluring
prospect in Alaska. According to some
accounts, the streams Of our arctic ter.
ritory are choked with fish fairly beg
ging to be hooked. No laws restricting
fishing in Alaska have been passed,
and no regulations to that effect have
been issued by the interior department.
Let the fisherman who can afford to
make the trip rejoice thereat. In Can

kellunge, salmon, trout and other de-
lectable varieties abound. there are few

The Rangeley and the MOosehead lakes

but some of those 'in the know" declare
that the wise seeker for trout or salm-
on will go elsewhere. Putting steam
launches on the lakes. crowds of "city
folks" and other modern improve
ments" are not at all conducive to the
quiet so desired by the true fisherman.
True, Of course, that the hotels now
erected In Maine near the fishing
streams and lakes are vastly superior
for comfort to the old camps, but who
cares for comfort when trout and salm-
on are biting? All over Maine Is good
fishing to be found. The visitor can
scarcely go wrong from the Saco in the
south to the cluster of hill surrounded
lakes known as the Eagles in Ar0os-

Value of the Eoothath.

To break up a cold, which certainly
disigures the face Of beauty, as we'll
as a valuable adjunct in the removal
of facial eruptions, the nightly foot
bath is invaluable. The largest sweat
glands of the body are located in the
palms, armpits and soles of the feet.
1t is of primary Importance that the
multitudinous outlets should be unclog-
ged. Where facial eruption exists AMI
the whole attention is devoted toward
the care of the face. every pore is &C.
tive and open to afford the escape OF
clogging impurities.
This is all wrong. The feet should
be made the gateway for the escape Of
effete deposits. The temperature of
the footbath should range from 105 to
40 degrees or as hot as can be en-
dured with comfort. Should there eI-
list chronic profuse and offensive per-
spiration, add lump of washing soda
to neutralize the acid emulation. The
feet should be rubbed bris!ly to draw
the blood down to o eAtremities.
Cool the water before - ,hdrawing the
feet. so that they may not become un-
duly tender. Rub long and thoroughly
with a soft towel.
Good pedal circulation is a foe to
corns and chilblains. Frequent warm
footbaths prevent callouses and make
walking a pleasure. For beauty and
complexion take extraordinary care Of
the feet.-Ledger Monthly.
