INVISIBLE FISHING LINES.
Japanese Have New Process Which
 Has Proved Successful.


 The department of commerce at Washington has received a collection of fishing lines Illustrating the ingenu- ity of the Japanese sporting goods manufacturers. They are of the sin visible" sort, and the makers assert that they have proved very successful. They are made of a very fine silk, boiled in preparation of oil and glue and calendered under heavy pressure. They are called the tegusu lines, and the silk of which they are made is from wild cocoons found in the noun tains.
 These lines are believed by the Jap anese makers to be the strongest and most successful ever devised to use for large, gamy fish. Secretary Redfield examined the collection with great in- terest and expressed regret that he had not seen them a month ago, when they might have appealed to him more effec- lively.

 Bombardment, the boche textbooks say, is designed to terrify the civil pop ulation so that they may put pressure on their politicians to conclude peace. In real life men are very rarely sooth- ed by the sight of their women being tortured.
