The American Climate.

Gu Shotchun of the Chinese embassy
on sultry evening at Cape May con-
demned the American climate.
''It is much worse than the climate
Of China" he said. cit Is perhaps the
worst climate in the world And yet
you can joke about it.
"a physician joked me about it the
other day.
"'Accustom yourself, Mr.. Gu Shot

are subtropica, and very often our
climate gets mixed, and arctic days

WOOD LOTS OF JAPAN.
Example Furnished of Tree Growing
on Small Plots.

Example Furnished of Tree Growing
on Small Plots.
In these times of great drains on the
timber supplies, caused by the heavy
demand for forest products of all
kinds, Americans may see in Japan an
example OF what can be done in grow
ing wood on small plots.
That country contains 21,000,OO0
wood lots, about three-fourths of which
belong to private persons and one
fourth to communes. The average size
OF the plot is less than nine-tenths of
an acre. They usually occupy the
steepest, toughest, poorest ground. In
this way land is put to use which
would otherwise go to waste and if
unwooded would lose its soil by the
wash Of the dashing rains.
From Japan's wood lots the yearly
yield of lumber is about Lightweight
feet, board measure, an acre and three
fourths OF cord Of firewood. In many
cases the yield is much higher. More
than 50O,O00,O0O trees are planted year
~ to make up what is cut for lumber
and fuel.
With all the care in cutting and the
industry in replanting it is by no
means certain that Japan's forests are
holding their own. If. the preservation
of the forests is doubtful there, 1t is
evident that depletion must be alarm
ingly rapid in other countries which
cut unsparingly and plant very little.
On the other hand, it Is encouraging to
see what can be done with rough, steep
and poor land. The United States has
enough OF that kind to grow billions Of
feet of Observation-Disclosures.

Drunk With Thy Reautx.n

Charles Dickens once had an argu-
ment with a friend about Byron's ex-
preston, Drunk with thy beauty"
to which he made great objection. Dur
ing the discussion the novelist gazed
as If enraptured at his hosts fair
haired daughter, who was in the room.
At last he sprang to his feet, struck
a dramatic attitude, clasped his heart
with his hands and stalked to the
window, where he wrote on the white
woodwork:
o maiden of the amber dropping hair,
Would I, Byronically, thy praise might
utter!
Drunk with thy beauty, would that ]

A Cincinnati man who was con-

all, death caught him mapping When
he died few days ago he had grown

an aldermanic stomach. A knife drawn across this distended organ disclosed the tarpon in sections with the hook still man to photograph together the sub jects he had recently photographed separ- ately. Although this shark was only one fifth the size of our big hammerhead yet he made but two bites of his vic- tim.
 Our work at Boca Grande ended with the red-letter day of the season, of all seasons. I was fishing in the pass with 50 feet of line, and the bait was directly under the canoe, when a tarpon struck fiercely, quickly carried away hundred more feet of line, and then swan so swiftly toward us that I feared, from the loosened line, that he had escaped Then, 50 feet from the canoe, there shot into the air a giant tarpon, measuring, as we learned afterwards, an even seven feet. Upl up! up! he rose, until the camera seemed to be pointed at the zenith, and before the rattled camera man could get his aim, the silver king had turned gracefully in the air and was -plunging downward. The captain swears that he saw, swing clear Of the water, the ribbon which marked 25 feet on the line as it hung plumb down from the tarpon.
 Once I gave my own estimate of the height of the jump to group of friends and after a glance at their grieved ex- pressons appealed to the one of most ex- perience on the coast and with the tar pon After a single moment of hesita- ton he remarked firmly:
 We fishermen must stand together. I believe the story"

A. w. Dimock in Appleton's.
 In the big pass tarpon can be caught from near the bottom of the channel and should be fished for with fifty feet of line and a heavy snker. In shallow water the tarpon leaps high in air the in- staht he feels the hook, but in the pass he often fights for minute or two be- fore coming to the surface. More than once when I had come to fear that my tarpon was shark, he has suddenly shot above the surface like a bullet from a gun, and in the first wild shake of his head thrown Nook and bait fifty feet in the air, and one even sent "a four-ounce leaden snker flying over my head from nearly twice that distance. Other tarpon when struck came straight up from the bottom, one grazing our gunwale as To rose and another leaping over the stern of the canoe. As soon as a tarpon was tired enough to let pull the canoe beside him we removed the hook from his mouth and let him swim home to his family. It happened once that tarpon was less tired than we had assumed. On that occasion we swan home and he had a good man-story to tell his friends.
 It has been counted poor year for tar pon. yet In fifteen consecutive days of fishing we were fast to forty-four tar pon. each of which had jumped for us from one to twelve times. This high water mark of twelve jumps was made by q tarpon which was stimulated to his later efforts by the presence of a pur- suing shark. and the twelfth jump was a double number.
 There was commotion in thee rimsoned water. new vfgor at the other end of my line. and 1t was an hour later when finally landed on sand bar shark with
