MAKING FISH HOOKS.
Most of Them Come from One Town in
England.


England.
1t may not be generally known, but
1r Is nevertheless a fact, that fully 30
per cent of the worlds fishing hooks
are made at Redditeh, England In
making fish hooks few tools are used,
dependence being placed more ON the
skill of the workman than on expensive
machinery. Nothing but the best steel
wire Is used. This is cut off from 20
or more coils at once, into lengths of
about 1 inches, care being taken to
have all of one length. Several hun
dreds of these lengths are placed on
top of one another through two rings,
or washers, the end projecting about
three-quarters of an inch. They are
put into furnace and heated dull
red; then taken out Of the fire and
rolled back and forward, while in the
rings with a heavy iron bar, about
one and half inches square. This
softens and straightens the ware. AZ
ter cooling they are cut into lengths
sufficient for two hooks, and barb Is
cut in each end. The workman rests
the end of the wire against a block
of wood and brings the knife In po-
sition. The point of the knife is hinged
TO the bench, and the blade is beyeled
on one side. With short cautious
movement the barb is cut. care being
taken to have it the correct depth. The
wire is then cut in two, the point filed
and then bent around a metal shape
driven in the end of bit of wood. The
barb is hooked around the end of the
shape and a turn of the wrist and a
pull with the finger complete the bend.
The shanks are then flattened, ringer
marked or reduced as desired and the
hooks are ready to be hardened. They
are placed in a pan and heated to dull
red, then dumped into n cask of OIL
taken out again, allowed TO drain and
are ready for tempering. This is the
most important part of the whole bust
ness. If tempered too much they Will
straighen out and If left too brittle
they will break; so they have to be
just right or the work must be done
over. The surplus oil that clings to
the hooks after tempering is removed
by shaking the hooks on tray in
sawdust The hooks are put in revolv-
ing barrels to polish, and afterward
blued, bronzed or Japanned They are
then ready to be put on the Market
s. Howarth, in Recreation.

There are persons who, on principle,
refrain from all sorts of harmless
pleasures to save expense What they
will do with the expense after they
have saved it depends on the type of
person. Sometimes they spend 1t in
doctors bills. OF course, every one
has a right to his own form of pleas
ure, but it does seem as If less fun
could be got out of doctors bills than
out of almost any other costly luxury.
When man puts in the whole OF a
hot summer toiling at his desk, refus-

recreation now and then sooner or
later a breakdown is likely TO come
Then the money saved from excursions

OF course, when a woman has a family

work than staying at home; but even
then there are many harmless pleas

is more bent on getting comfort out of
life than on having fine clothes or fur

what could be made of life by couple

We believe that the idea of an expert
commission for the purpose of inspect
ing volcanoes and reporting upon their
safety Is one of the most ridiculous
propositions advanced apparently in all
seriousness that we have noticed IN
many a day. Boiler inspectors may
have a proper function in the economy
of human affairs, although 1t Is IRE
duently the recently inspected boiler
that explodes into thousand pieces
and kills or wounds all who may be
within range Of the flying debris
Bridge inspectors, building inspectors,
and even mine inspectors may perhaps
be taken seriously, but we submit that
a corps of inspectors whose duty con-
sists in examining into the condition
of volcanoes and report upon their
eruptlve or non-eruptive possibilities Is
getting past the limit. The strange
forces which exist in the bowels of the
earth, the gases which they generate,
and the destructive power of which
they may become capable are frequent
ly glibly discussed by scientists, but
scientists can no more forecast the ac-
ton of volcano than United States
weather bureau can foretell the
amount of destruction which quickly
formed cyclone may bring about. Man
may be the very climax of all the won
drous works of creation, but this does
not lessen the force of the fact that
regardless Of all that he is and of all
that he has accomplished he is still
the mere plaything of untamed forces
in nature-forces which he need never
expect to subdue or even understand,
and which will remain untamed until
the end of time. In the face of these
fundamental truths we really believe
that all boards of volcano inspectors
should throw aside their commissions.
To assert that they are capable of rem
dering substantial service to their fell
lowmen is to give a touch of opera
bouffe to that which is purely tragic.

cessive nights of Stunning than he
has seen In all his twenty seven years
of residence in Chicago. He challenges
the statements made by Bishop Tho
burn and the Rev. Mr.. Funk and says
they are a libel on the city. Since the
controversy involves no reconcile theo-
logical tenets layman may be per-
mitted to suggest that none OF these
reverend gentlemen are up on com
parative wiekedness. They come in
touch with the best that is In society
and see only glimpses of the seamy
side of metropolitan life As matter
of fact every great city contains wick
edness of which good people scarcely
dream. London is older in vice than Is
Chicago, but human nature is about
the same everywhere and what Chi
cage lacks in experience she makes up
by inventiveness. So long as the wick
edness of London and Chicago does
not exceed the wickedness of Sodom
and Gomorrah there is hope for both
of them. And If history is to be be-
lleyed modern evil is not to be COM
pared with ancient vice.
