CATCHING Fish With Mirrors.

In France a novel method OF catch
ing fish is being tested by anglers.
tiny mirror is attached to the line near
the baited hook. The assumption Is
that a fish, when it sees itself in the
mirror. will conclude that some other
fish is trying to carry off the bait. and
will make haste to secure the tempt
ing morseI for itself. the result being
that it will speedily be caught on the
relentless hook. From experiments
which have been made there seems
to be some foundation for this as
sumption. At any rate. some anglers
saw that they catch more fish when
they use the little mirror than they
ever caught before.

Burden of Bad Roads.

In a country as large as that in
which we live, with the greater part of
its producing regions widely Sseparate
from the markets which they serve,
the matter of transportation is one of
vast importance, writes Hon. Martin
Doge in Forum. This applies particu-
larly to our agricultural products; for,
while great portion both Of our
manufacture output and of our farm
growth must be moved long distances
by rail Or water before reaching a
market, practically all of the latter
must also be transported for greater or
less distances over the public high
ways. The question of marketing
these agricultural products, amounting
in the United States to 81, 600, 600, 600
annually, on terms that the dealer can
afford to pay and the grower to accept,
often reduces itself to question of
cheap and quick delivery in other
words, to a question of economical
transportation.
AS far as the railways and steamship
lines are concerned, this problem has
been dealt with very intelligently and
satisfactorily. Skill and money have
been applied without stint to the
provision of enlarged means of con-
veyance, improved ways and increased
power. These influences, under the
stress OF strong competition, have re-
duced long distance freight rates to a
reasonable level.
There is one phase of this transporta-
tion problem, however, which has
approached no satisfactory solution.
That is the matter of wagon road haul
AS has already been said, while the
greater part of our farm products
travel by steamship, canal or railway
for portion of the journey to market.
virtually all Of them are conveyed for
some distance over the public high
ways. 1t is unfortunate that this is
often the most expensive part of their
journey. 1t has been shown by
mathematical demonstration that it
costs more to move bushel of wheat
or a ton Of hay ten miles over the
average country roads OF the United
States than to transport the some bur-
den 500 miles by railway or 2, 900 miles
by steamship. It has happened many
times in different parts of the country
that farmers have let crops go to waste
because the cost of hauling them to
the nearest market or railway shipping
point over wretched and i'll kept roads
amounted to more than could be real
lied for them afterwards: whereas,
if good roads on which heavy loads
could be hauled had been at hand, the
same crops could have been marketed
at small profit to the producer, while
the economic gain resulting from their
application to useful purposes would
have been very considerable.

material for bacterial life to feed up

in food or drinking their dead AID de-
composing bodies, which poison the
water by their decomposition? The
fact is scientific investigation has prov
ed that boiling only kills the feeblest,
the least injurious, germs.
Try a simple experiment. Put IN
boiled city water in one bottle and the
same that has been boiled for half an
hour or more in another, cork tightly
and keep in the sun or in a warm place

ference The unboiled water will show
a marked depreciation in looks, taste

respects that no one would think Of
