Outing. Look out dar," yells TONY !;
there is a splash about thirty yards
away, your line becomes taut and
Is gliding out like lightning before you
can apply the brake. When you do it
is almost jerked from your grasp and
simultaneously the tarpon leaps and
Wrlthes above the water again. There
Is no sight more beautiful to the an
gler than the graceful, silverg form of
the tarpon, like CLEAN Of light from
darkness, leaping forth from the green
sea.
That moment when the tarpon has the
bait and you strike is the one of all
others most fraught with intense ex-
element. It is the first crisis in the
battle. He is down again and your
hook holds. He darts back and forth,
ever going deeper in his wild rushes.
1t is an earnest fight. The first ten
minutes seem like an hour. Rush i'm
reel up, don't let rest" following the
advice, your arms tire, your hands be-
come numb, 1t may be, bleeding and
blistered, but you save your fish Thus
you are towed out toward the sea, al
ways fighting.
In his first mad rushes the huge fish
gained on you, taking out nearly 100
yards Of your line. During the first
half hour he has decidedly the better
Of the fight and keeps most Of the
line. During the second half hour you
gain the lost line foot by foot and the
honors are about equally divided. Now
the long rushes and leaps begin to tell
and he loses wind If he did not help
to kill himself by these wild rushes
and leaps, you could never land him.
BY some kind of intuition an angler
can tell when he has gained the mas
terry over a fish. You feel instructive
~ that the second crisis has been
passed and the boat turns back toward
the bench and as the beach is neared
you reel in and fight at close range.
Once he dashes almost up to the
boat and suddenly turns about; you
nearly lost him that time. You soon
lead him back, however. Now he lies
near the boat; you see his cleaning
side glisten in the light. "Stiddy now"
says your man, as the boat touches the
beach you climb out and, resisting
his last waning strength as he lashes
spray upon you, pull him out upon the
sand and the fight is won.

Pure Iron at Last.

Chemically pure iron has never been
obtained until very recently. It has
been found almost impossible to re
move the last traces of impurities, es-
pecially Of sulphur. But German
chemist, DR.. H. Kreusler, has finally
by long series Of ingenious processes,
partly chemical and partly electrical,
succeeded in isolat1ng the pure metal,
the properties OF which he expects to
differ greatly from those Of the i'm
pure iron that we know. Iron prepar-
ed by Kreuslers process resembles

Japan is a nation of poets. The EN-
peror gave out last year, as a subject
for poetic competition. The Pine in the
Snow" twenty-five thousand manu-
scripts were submitted. The commit
tee had not sorted the good from the
bad at last accounts. The best pieces
were to be submitted to the emperor,
who is himself a poet. The hard-head-
ed English-speaking race has always
been wont to regard poets as queer
freaks unfit for practical affairs. On
this point we have something to learn
from the efficient ruler Of Japan and
his very practical, businesslike sub
jects.

 About the beginning of the census period in 1900 the country was enjoy, ing extraordinary prosperity. Money was being made rapidly and people were attracted from foreign countries Tn extraordinary numbers. Tbens was no great epidemics. and the conn. try was prosperous.

 In 1907, or thereabout there was 9 setback in the line of prosperity. Times became a little bit harder. Wages were reduced in a number of cases.

WILL ENDEAvOR ID SIZE UP TAFT

WASHINGTON. May Spy this time next year the country will begin to agitate itself in an endeavor to find out how big it is. Taking the cersus once every ten years is a huge job in a nation where the popu- lation is mounting up towards 10O- 900 900 and where the land area on the continent alone approximate B. 900 900 square miles. As the country settles up it becomes easier to take the census, but it is a huge jcb at best, even with the use of modern tabulating machines and undsr an organiza ton which has made the census bureau permanent and has therefore produced much more accu- rate statistics of the population ana social and business conditions.
 Congress has been disturbing itself over an effort to secure certain pat ronage spells in the taking of the cen sus. but the actual work will be com pleted along we'll understood lines and Hithin a few months of the act- nal enumeration. The total popula- ton of all the states and territories viii be known and congress will thereafter undertake the work of dis tributing representation among the different states in the house Of rep resentatives.
 Experts Disagree on Estimates.
 Experts disagree as to what the new figures will show and they will probably continue to disagree until after the census is actually taken. The continental United States VII probably show a populaton of above s5.00O. 900 and below 90.000,000 peo- ple. Nobody knows what the ratio of increase is. 1t varies sometimes in the most inexplicable way. During prosperous period immigration is stimulated and the population grows rspidly: but this is frequently offset by some mysterious decrease in the

THE COPPER CHEN.

TIE SOFSSH e ZEN.
 The Copper Queen rec ;ction. works produced approximate S,25O. 900 pounds of copper during April, about 25o.OOO pounds less than the March production. Seven blast furnaces are in commission and the May reduction will not vary far from that Of April.
 Ore production is practically the same now as for April. The work of connecting all the Queen shafts with the Sacramento hoist is being con tinued in many places. Extra effort IS being exerted in hurrying a con- nection between Sacramento and the Lowell at the I400-leyel This drift is being pushed both from the Lowell and from the Sacramento. To still further facilitate this work a winzc is being sunk midway between the two shafts from the 20O-level. When the winze reaches the 14J0-levei then work will be started each way from !t on the connecting dri't. A double service electric hoist is being in stalled at the i200leyel rf the Sac-a- mento for the purpose O. noisting the rock from the 140O drift and from the shaft which is to be cut to the 1900 level. When the Sacramento shaft reaches the 1600 level it will be below the bottom of all other Queen work ings in the district and at that depth will serve its purpose for long time At the Spray shaft a rehC ater is being installed for supplying compressed air at that shaft for hoistins which will do away with the necessity fer tle former boiler plant which will be dis mantled.
