How to Know a Good Flshhoois.


The most common flaw is in the
temper of the hook. Some hooks
break, but break hard; other hooks
are brittle and break easily. There
are other hooks still that bend, and
bend so easily that they "straighten"
on very big fish, and yet other hooks
that bend, but bend so hard that a big
hsh never tiexes them, and they only
straighten and come away when the
tull tension Of the line is laid upon
them If caught on a tough snag OF tree
bough. These last are the hooks to
buy-if you can find them-and the
hard- breaking hook classifies next IN
merit. Tests by the eye are quite
useless, as so many carry exactly the
same tints in blue or black Test the
hook instead by the hand, catching
the point in a firm bit of wood and
trying IL out both by the hard, firm
pull and by the jerk. Watch particu-
larly IN this trial for weakness at the
loot Of the barb, where the wire IS apt
20 be attenuated overmuch and the
whole point give way on strong
hsh, specially il hooked in bone or
very hard gristle. What vastly depths
OF angling profanity, in spirit II not
IN word, have been stirred in ooa1
and on bank when the pointless hook
comes away from the hard-rlayed hsn,
must be left TO memory. -Clarence

METALS SICKEN AND DIE.
German Scientists study the Ills OF Inor
ganlo Matter.


ganio Matter.
Philadelphia Record.
Recently a strange thing in metal
'lurgy happened. A ship vas loaded
with Banca tin in the Straits, and
sailed for a northern port in Europe.
When it arrived there, and the work
Of unloading the valuable cargo began,
the merchants to whom it was con-
signed were amazed and dismayed to
discover that the entire shipment had
actually crumbled into dust. Here was
a mystery. For a long time no one
could solve it. Years ago it would
have finally been dismissed with a
statement that there must have been
flaw or fault in the tip. But the
flaw theory had become unsatisfac-
tory.
Then Professor Bredig, the famous
German metallurgist, came out with
photographs that he had made in a
church in Silesia. The picture showed
the remnants of organ pipes, most of
them full of queer, crumbling holes.
Whole pipes bad vanished absolutely.
There was no rust, and all investiga-
tion failed to show any other of the
causes that are known as destroyers Of
metals. All Investigators at last con-
fessed themselves nonplussed, until
Professor Bredig, who had been busy
with new theories Of the diseases of
metals, found wound, a genuine, open
wound in a pipe; and his careful, ac-
curate, and rigid experiments fur
nished the convincing proof that this
wound had infected the entiIe series
of pipes with a creeping disease.
Scarcely had he finished mis- investi-
cations in the Silesian Church, before
coincidence enabled him to extend
his experiments, and at the same time
obtain additional proof of the correct
ness of the previous findings. He was
asked to inspect the great tin roof of
the Council House Of Rothenburg.
Arrived there, he was informed that
several years ago the roof, although it
had been attended to carefully, PAINTED
regularly, and kept perfectly free from
rust, had begun TO crumble away. No
one could imagine what caused it.
Prof. Bredig soon discovered a centre
of infection. And he was able not
only to trace the gradual progress Of
the infection over the Council House
roof, but to show where the disease
had actually spread to a tin roof
nearby.
Another German professor, DR..
Heyn, had been studying the changes
in iron under all grades Of tempera-
ture and he also concluded that the
metal passes through various stages
Of disease that produce structural
changes just as cells change in form,
size and position in the forms COM
monty called organic. He heated COP.
per in order to find why that metal
suffers from overheating and his con
clusion is that it becomes poisoned
with copper protoxide which so sickens
it that its structure changes, and par
italy breaks down.
Metals, he has proven, can be in
fected with diseases in a manner simi-
lar to organic substances. This is
entirely due to temperature changes.
in both cases, when the strucfura
assumes a different form under the
stress Of temperature.

REFUSED TO REDUCE PRICE

Washington, May 9.-The House of

Representative Rixey OF Virginia was
unsuccessful in getting an amendment
through limiting to 90 cents a pound the
amount which may be expended for

He stated that the price now paid was
70 cents a pound, but that the inquiry
made by the naval committee showed
that it actually should cost but 35 cents
