Fishiines Sixty Miles lono.

The most of the halibut are caught
with the hook and line. The fishing,
however, has nothing gamy or sport
ing about it. The lines are dropped
down into the sea in such way that
the baited hooks rest on the bed of the
ocean. The lines are of great length.
Some of them are sixty miles long.
When loaded with fish it takes the
steam engine ON the vessel the better
part of a day to wind them up They
are divided into sections, each section
having a float or buoy that rests or

The line lies right on the bed of the

hooks, and each hook is baited The
halibut swallows the bait and is caught
on the hook and held there until the
line is drawn up. These fish always
feed on or close to the bed of the

lqnis Fatuus.

Scientists have never explained to
their satisfaction the light known pop
ularly as the "will-O'-the- -wisp' and
also known as ignis fatuus. The phe-
nOmenon has been attributed to the
combustion of carbons and sulphurs
ignited by sulphureted hydrogen. This
theory has been shown to be a fallacy
by persons who have passed their
hands through the so called fire and
felt no heat. The strange fire flies
fastest over cemeteries and over low
lands and swamps when no wind is
blowing. Superstitious persons attrib-
ute the Pickering fires to the SOULS of
the dead. The most plausible theory
is that the phenomenon is due to ra-
dio-active emanations rising from be-
meath the ground.-Harper's.

Among tailored hats the always pop
ular black has more to recommend it
this season than it can usually claim
1t takes high art and fine materials,
as a rule, to save the black hat from
being commonplace. But the present
season has developed a fad for lus-
trous surfaces, almost everything in
millinery is shiny, and black is re-
deemed from it's somberness by it's
brilliance.
In hats, and in many of their trim
mings. black lacquer or varnish COW
ers the shape and the wings or foliage
that so often trim it. Even ribbons
have polished surface made by some
method of treating them, and in black
they are designated as "stove polish
ribbons. This matter-of-fact name is
accurately descriptive of them. In
keeping with the shining surfaces of
things there is corresponding finish
in workmanship, characteristic of the
hats of today. Perhaps these things
account for the advance in prices,
which the public appears to have met
with great cheerfulness.

The nearly-grown miss this year
shares with her elders the charm that
lies in dressy suits Of taffeta silk. AS
BELTS the modes for youthful wearers,
suits made for her are less elaborate
than those designed for her older sis
ters, but they have decorations enough
to be interesting.
Coats in these silk models are made
In great diversity of styles, but all
OF them may be classed as short.
Skirts are not as full as those made
Tor indoor wear, and depend for en-
bellishment upon bands of tucks rath-
er than draperies. Colors are attrac-
tive, with fairly light shades of green
and blue, as we'll as lighter tans and
grays, much in evidence.
An old fashion which has been re-
v1ved appears in the full quillings of
box-plaited silk with "pinked' edges
that are used for trimming both skirts
and coats. These quillings help out
in achieving the popular flare at the
bottom Of coats and in supplying the
banded effects and horizontal lines
that place the otherwise plain skirts
in the mode.
A very pretty example of the taffeta
suit, as developed for a miss in the
neighborhood of seventeen years, is
shown here. 1t is simple enough to
be made at home, and an ambitious
girl may even undertake it for herself,
by the aid of pattern. The skirt is
