his plate. Somehow or other there
is mystic connection between a finger
bowl and tip. 1t makes a fellow

A FISH HOOK.
The One You Should buy and the
Test You Should Try.

The One You Should Duy and the
Test You should Try.
The most common flaw is the temper
Of the hook. Some hooks are brittle
and break easily. There are other
hooks still that bend, and bend so east
ly that they 'straighten" on every big
+ fish, and yet other hooks that bend, but
bend so hard that a big fish never
flexes them, and they only straighten
and come away when the full tension
Of the line is laid upon them if caught
on tough snag or tree bough. These
last are the hooks to buy-if you can
find them-and the hard breaking
hooks classifies next in merit. Tests by
the eye are quite useless, as so many
hooks 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 it out both
by the hard, firm pull and by the jerk
Watch particularly. in this trial for
weakness at the foot Of the barb, where
the wire is apt to be attenuated over
much and the whole point give way
on strong fish, especially if hooked in
bone or very hard gristle. What Vastly
depths of angling profanity, in spirit
if not in word, have been stirred Il
boat and on bank when the pointless
hook comes away from the hard played
fish must be left to memory.-Outing

BLAZING METEORS,
The Short Lived SpIendor of N shoot
ing Star


ing Star.
A small body as large as a paving
stone or not as large as a marble is
moving round the sun. Just as a
mighty planet revolves in an ellipse. So
this small object will move round and
round in an ellipse, with the sun in the
focus. There are at the present mo-
ment Uncomfortable myriads of such
meteors moving in this manner. They
are too small and too distant for our
telescopes, and we can never see them
except under extraordinary circum-
stances.
AT the time we see the meteor it
traverses a distance of more than
twenty miles a second. Such a velocity
Is almost impossible near the earth's
surface. The resistance of the air would
prevent it. Aloft in the emptiness of
space there is no air to resist it.
In the course of its wanderings the
body may come near the earth and
within few hundred miles of its sur
face, of course, begins to encounter the
upper surface of the atmosphere with
which the earth is inclosed. To BODY
moving with the appalling velocity of
q meteor, plunge into the atmosphere
is usually fatal. Even though the up
per layers of air are excessively at
tenuated, yet they suddenly check the
velocity, almost us q rifle bullet would
be checked when fired into water. AS
a meteor PUSHES through the atmos-
phere the friction of the air warns its
surface; gradually 1t becomes red hot,
then white hot and is finally driven off
into the vapor with a brilliant light.
while we on the earth, one or two hun
bred miles below, exclaim:
ooh, look! There is a shooting star"
