separating 1t into two wings. each
of which rises to a height OF twenty

ABANDONED ORE MINES
fine FISHING GROUNDS
Sport has Its Element of Dan
ger But Your Reward is
a Full Creel,

Perhaps the most peculiar fishing
places III the country are found in
Lehigh county, Pennsylvania. When
the failure of Jay Cooke & Co.. of
New York. started panic which
later swept over mines in I.ehigh ard
caused the loss of millions of dollars.
These abandoned ore mines. cover
Ing acres OF land and ranging in
depth from thirty TO hundred
feet, gradually began to fill up with
water and in that condition they
have remained for years.
1t was a boy who first conceived
the idea that these ore mines would
be ideal breeding places for fish.
He had read a book on fish culture
and he noticed that a particular
pit had the kind of aquatic veg
citation which the book said was
necessary. So he caught lot OF
sunfsh, catfish, suckers, cells and
clubs and dumped them into the
waters of the pit and and then for
got all about It,
Surprise for Fisherman.
These fish multiplied with amazing
rapidity. Several years later IA
fisherman on his way home from
trout stream happened to pass
the particular pit. Merely as
joke he baited his hooks with worms
and made cast. He had scarcely
done so when his reel commenced
to sing and to his great amaze.
ment he pulled out two enormous
sunfish. Inside of half an hour he
had filled his creel.
He made quiet investigation and
readily obtained permission from the
owners of the pits to experim mt
in fish culture. He commenced to
plant black bass and yellow perch.
He went about it secretly and the
owners, who did not want to be
annoyed by applicants for fishing
privileges also kept quiet. Today
these pits fairly teen with fish.
In the Swallowed pits the same
enterprising individual introduced
land terrapin, which are now bring
ing in substantial revenue. Some
of the pits, however, are SO dan
serous of approach, owing to steep,
overhanging and crumbling banks,
that only the most daring venture
within casting distance.
Black Bass of Great Size.
AT one pit near by tree affords
lodging place for those who enjoy
the novelty of fishing from a tree.
One man has erected tall scaffold-
ing, from which vantage point he
casts his line.
Black bass thrive better in these
pits than any other fish. They
grow to enormous size and the coli
ness and purity of tho water gives
them not only a gaminess but q
solidity of flesh which they do not
acquire in the finest bass streams in
the State.
Several years ago the owner of a
piece of property on which was an
abandoned ore pit dumped lot OF
bass and pickered fry into the Dit.
Just as soon as they grew Jig
enough the latter promptly destroyed
the bass, but he now has one OF
the finest pickerel preserves

FILIPINO cHlLpREN's LESSON.

In book not long out the author
severely crlticlses and ridicules the
quality of education handed out by
the Americans to Filipino children.
In his estimation it is ludlcrous
that the little ones should be taught
among other things to sing like
this:
II loot ode name off Washington
l loot my countrree, tow;
II oof Ode flag, ode dear owl flag
OF rid on whit on lblooo."
without entering into the Philip
pines question at all, there Is moth.

cept the pronunciation given the
words by the natives and this pro.
nunciation may be eXrectea to i'm
prove as the brown kid grows older.
The sentiment Is certainly all right.
lnsilled into the infant mind. Il
lays the foundation of patriotism.
AS long as we have the island on
our hands we might as well try to
teach the youngsters, If we can
not l.acitN the older peop:e. IT
these children are to remain under
the American flag they cannot begin
to proclaim any too early their love
Tor 1T. What are the most lasting
tn'prs:S.sls? Those received IN
childhood. Do any or us forget
the Jingle of the rhymes we learned
In our early school days? They be-
come in measure the very assence
OF our mentality.
Iii our great American cities one
of the most hopeful signs is tho
singing by happy children's voices or
| America" or other patriotic songs,
not only In the schools but OH the
streets and in the parks where the
children are gather at play. They
MAY be Italians, Huns, Polanders,
French or what not, Many of them
never heard word of the En.
glish Language spoken in their homes
and consequently the pronunciation
OF their words is not always accur
ate, but who can doubt that In
singing these songs they are &C.
curing the spirit that will make
them good American citizens.
| lnasmuch as war decreed that we
should become the possessors Of
the Philippines 1t is right that the
American teachers on the island
, should start the youngsters on the
right path. If there is anything
that can give the rising generation
, of that little brown people a
healthful start on the road to de
serving American citizenship, 1t vii
