MAGIC OF THE BASS.
Memories of the Battle That Lnqer
With the AnuIer,

'The Indians call it Media Mon-nuh-
she-gan,' which translated means mag
ic bass. He is said to be much like
other black bass in appearance But
his peculiar attributes are these:
He must be caught by casting, with
surface bait, SO that you can see him
rise to it. He may be taken in running
water where the clear current foams
over messy powders and through CUR
CLING, sunlit shadows or in the silent
pools where the forest hangs darkly
over the stream. He may be taken at
some still lakes grassy marge, where
the water lilies build him a green and
white and golden canopy, or in the
open places when the west winds
magic turns the CLASSY surface into
silver
But wherever you find him you will
see that nature rules supreme. And
whether in brawling stream or quiet
pool, in some peaceful lilied bay or just
beneath the rippled broad expanse.
where the wild beauty of the spot
makes your heart beat faster. here
may you find the magic bass.
"And this is his magic: That when
you have fought him inch by inch and
have looked upon him as he lay ex-
hausted in your landing net you are
his forever. For wherever you 20 and
whatever you do there will come to
you ever and often dream of his first
leap into the air, Of the tugging line
and of his body at your feet. and indis-
tinct behind it all lie the sparkling wa
ter and the forest and the blue sky.
'In the dead of winter you will of a
sudden hear the soft splash of the bass
rising to your fly, you will feel the sud
den tautness of the line. and the snow
outside your window will melt into a
summer landscape. When you are
busiest there will come to you the song
of the reel and the smell Of pine and
fir and balsam That is the magic
of the Media Mon-nuh-she-ga gan Out

Why Boys Play Hockey.

A child plays truant either because
the school has too little interest for
him or else because the parent cannot
properly control him. Probably In
most cases both circumstances affect
his conduct. If the subjects taught
and the teachers themselves were in
all respects what they should be and
if the parents had full control Of their
children, there would be little heard Of
truancy or it's effects. There are three
causes Of truancy. therefore which de-
serve attention. narrow curriculum
which fails to meet the needs or in
terests of all the pupils; inefficient
teachers who by reason of a lack of
skill, tact and sympathy fail to reach
some of the pupils; weak or Indifferent
parents who fail in their duty Of keep

DISCOVERY OF COAL.
Mentioned by Jesuit In 1879 and
Mined First In 1749.

Mentioned by Jesuit in 1879 and
Mined First In 1749.
So far as known the first mention of
the occurrence of coal in the United
States is contained in the journal Of
Father Hennepin, Jesuit missionary,
who in 1879 recorded 'cole mine" on
Illinois river near the present city Of
Ottawa, Ill
Coal was first mined in the Rich
mond basin, Virginia, about seventy
years after Father Hennepin's discov-
cry in Illinois, but the first records Of
production from the Virginia mines
were for the year 1922, when, accord
ing to one authority, $4,000 tons were
mined.
Ohio probably ranks second in prior
ity Of production, as coal was discoy-
cred there in 1855, but the records Of
production date back only to 1888
The mining Of anthracite in Pennsyl-
vania began about 1870, and it is said
that fifty-fye tons were shipped to Co
lumbia, Pa, in 1907. Reports of the
anthracite coal trade are usually begun
with the year 1920, when 1865 tons, one
for each day of the year, were shipped
to Philadelphia from the Lehigh re-
gion. Before this, however, in 1914, a
shipment Of twenty-five tons was made
from Carbondale, also to Philadelphia.
It is probable that the actual produc-
tion prior to 1920 was between $500
and 5000 tons.-Washingto Star.

THE AEROPL ANE.
Keeping II Properly Balanced Is a Diff
fcuIt Art

ficuit Art.
An aeroplane may be defined as a
surface propelled horizontally in such
manner that the resulting pressure
of air from beneath prevents its fall
ing. A balloon can remain stationary
over a given spot in a calm. but an
aeroplane must be kept in motion if
it is to remain in the air Such plane
literally runs on the air like skater
gliding over thin ice. The most fa-
miliar example OF an aeropIane is the
kite of our boyhood days. We all re-
member how we kept it aloft even in
i light breeze by running with it
against the wind Substitute the pull
of a propeller for the cord and tie
aeroplane flying machine is created
Ii this were all, the problem of arti-
fetal fight would have been solved long
ago. There remains the supremely
difficult art of balancing the plane so
that it will skate on an even keel
Even birds find it hard to maintain
this stability. In the constant effort

bird will catch the wind on the top
of his wing. with the result that he
will capsize and fall some distance be-
fore he can recover himself If the
living aeropanes Of nature find the
feat of balancing SO difficult, is it any
wonder that men have been killed in
endeavoring to discover their secret?
Ii you have ever sailed a canoe you
will readily understand what this task
of balancing an aeroplane really means.
AS the pressure of the wind on your
sail heels your canoe over you must
climb out on the outrigger far enough
for your weight to counterbalance the
wind pressure so that you will not be
upset. The physicist scientifically ex-
plains your achievement by stating
that you have succeeded in keeping the
center of air pressure and the center
of gravity on the same straight line.
In a canoe the feat is comparatively
easy; in an aeroplane it demands con-
stant and 1ashlike shifting of the
body, because the sudden slight varia-
tions of the wind must be Immediately
