Probably few fishermen are aware
that fly fishing dates back to classic
times, says Forest and Stream. A
minute description of the artificial fly
as used by Macedonian anglers is
given by Aelian, a Greek writer of the
third century A. D., as follows:
Between Berea and Thessalonica
there flows a river, Astraeus by name,
and there in it fishes of spotted col
or; but by what name the people or
those parts call them it is better to
ask Macedonians. At any rate, these
fish live upon the native flies which
fall into the river, and are like no flies
of any other part; one would neither
call them wasclike in appearance, nor
would one reply to question that
this creature is formed like what we
call the humble bees, nor yet like the
honey bees themselves. 1t has really
the proper fashion of each of the
above. In audacity it is like fly, in
size it might be called a humble bee,
in color it rivals the wasp and 1t
buzzes like the honey bees. All COM
mon creatures of this sort are called
horse tails. These pitch upon the
stream to seek the food they affect,
but cannot help being seen by the
fish, which swim underneath.
so whenever one of them sees the
fly floating he comes softly, swimming

ANTIDOTE FOR SNAKE BITE
Fluid That Is Used by Mexicans and Sup
posed to Be Secret Remedy of the Mo<i Indians

Supt. B. F. Daniel Of the Territori-
al prison, who has been in the city
for the last three days, says the Ar
iona Republican, told while here of
certain cure for the bite of the rat
tlesnake.
He had heard of it while he had
been engaged in mining in Mexico,
and since he became superintendent
of the prison he has seen two or three
Mexican convicts who had been cured
and who had the scars to show that
they had been bitten. On the hand
of one of them was the trace Of cen
tipede, whose poison also yields to
the remedy. It's existence, however,
is not widely known, even in Mexico,
and is supposed to be entirely un-
known out of that country.
There is in every rattlesnake a
small sac, about the size of Mexican
bean, attached to the intestines. This
is filled with a brownish or black
fluid, and that fluid is the cure for the
bite. If it is applied Immediately the
patient will not even suffer any swell
ing and will entirely avoid pain.
Many Mexicans carry the fluid with
them at all times when they are in
the mountains or on the desert. These
Mexicans kill all the rattlers they can
find, and most of them store the fluid

derstand these manoeuvres, but they
do not make any use of these flies Tor
a bait for the fish; for If the human
hand lays hold of them they lose their
natural color, their wings fray and
they become UNBEATABLE to the fish.
So for this reason they make no use
of them, disliking them because their
nature forbids their capture. SO with
angling craft they outwit the fish,
devising a sort of lure against them.
They lap a lock of reddish wool round
the hook, and to the wool two cocks
feathers which grow under the wat
ties, and are brought to the proper
color with wax. The rod is from six
to ten feet long, and the horse hair
line has the same length. They lower
the lure. The fish is attracted by the
color, excited, draws close; and

Murata, who studied in London. In
his eighteenth year he left home for
Tokyo on foot. At that time Japan
had no railroad and no steamers ran
regularly. From Hiroshima, his ma
tive province, to Tokyo, is some 500
miles in Japanese measurement.
When he reached the capital he went
through the examination and was sue
cessfully admitted to the Imperial uni
versity. From scantiness of money
he was often compelled to go without
food. He borrowed text books from
a fellow student and copied them. 1t
is said that he could not raise money
even for his hair cutting or a bath.
After graduation he found work in

small, but, like many successful Amer

mind and toward this ideal he con-
stantly worked. He is given great
credit for the victories over Russia.

Modern Pictured Not Wanted.

In recent years it has become a
matter Of increasing difficulty for a
living English artist to find market
for his wares, says the Academy. The
middle classes appear TO have con-

with a moderate income, and content
themselves with photographers. The

In anatomical descriptions Of the
rattler no mention is made of this
particular sac, though air sacs are
members of the snake family. But
there is no doubt of the existence of
it, for Mr.. Daniel said he had seen
Mexicans remove it frequently.
1t may be that this fluid is the Sc

for the immunity that they enjoy from
the poison of the rattler. Those who
have attended their annual snake

TOTAL OF 215 LIVES WE'RE LOST

Chicago, Dec. II. - According tC
figures compiled by the Lake Marine

A total Of 215 lives we're lost. OF
these 116 were lost during the three

During the season of 1904 only 40
lives were lost on the Great Lakes,
this being the smallest loss on record,
and only two of these were due to
shipwrecks.
Lake Erie, which led the list of dead
for a number of years, this season

sailors were lost, as compared with 40
