FLY Rod For Trout Fishermen.

Rods Of split bamboo are produced
by cementing together a number of
triangular strips split from the whole
cane to form each joint; the rod of
six strips is the choice Of most anglers.
Weight for weight-and, of course,
within reason, the lighter the rod the
better-split bamboo rods are stronger
and have more casting power and bet
ter action than rods of any other ma
terial. Very properly c%onceding that
the choice of a fly rod is practically
limited to the rod of split bamboo. you
cannot go far wrong in selecting one
nine feet in length. Such a rod for the
light work of our average trout streams
should not weigh v e five and Il quar-
ter ounces.
Any rod seriously worth considera-
ton has snake guides. german silver
reel seat and ferrules and a solid cork
hand grasp.
1t is very well when making your
selection to try out several rods an
swering to the above specifications. in
order to avoid. If possible. getting
q rod that is either too stiff or too
fexible.-Outing.

for similar civic movements all over

have written to the Y. NJ. C. A. for de-

four years Spokane young people have

tempts to calculate the time the suns
activity could be maintained by

energy (radium), and 60 the work of
gravitational contraction For the first
he gets 1000 years, for the second
only 10 years, while for the third he
finds that gravitational contraction,
according to the well-known theory Of
Helmholtz, would account for several
millions of years of solar heat, as de-
manded by the geological record. The
pfall of meteorites into the sun could
account, at most, for only the four
hundredth part of the suns heat.
