HOW TO MARK FISH SPOTS
Take "Shots" at Objects and Draw imaginary Lines, !5 thc A..:cc
 of an Authority.

It is necessary fer the successful fisherman to mark the good fishing spots, and it is a simple matter, ac- cording 70 the New York Sun.
 The first thing that n civil engineer is taught is to tie his survey to some thing permanent. of what use would deed be setting forth the boundaries of piece of property if il did not have a permanent point of beginning?
 If you are fishing in body of wa ter with land on all sides, it only be- comes necessary to look in four direc- tionS-first north, and then take some object due north of your fishing spot and remember it, such as q big tree, somestack, or building.
 Then look due east and fix upon an- other object, and your good fishing spot will be at the intersection of imaginary lines drawn from both those points.
 If you desire to be doubly sure you can site on objects due south and west, but any two objects 90 degrees apart will be sufficient to fix a point.
 It is assumed that you are seated in Il boat directly over the spot you wish to mark, hence it is easy to take shots" due east and south or north and west. Any two are sufficient.

lmportant to Mothers
Johnny's Manners.

Where the carefully trained child learns bad manners is a standing mys- tery to its watchful parents. These anxious rcarers of the young are often heard propOunding the query, but gen. orally without result. Once in while, however. out of the deep silence comes an Illuminating answer.
 Johnny furnished one just the other day. He had just finished a particu- larly toothsome dish of apple pud- ding, which he ate to the last morsel. Then, despite the fact that there was company at the table, he deliberately picked up his saucer and licked 1t clean.

fatal spot was missed by a few Inches. However, the force of the blow, which was delivered with both hands without releasing the handle, was so great, that it depressed the creatures head. and the head-on collision did not crash in the side of the boat as 1t probably would have done otherwise. The top of the head struck the bottom of the boat, breaking the lance handle short off against the side, and l was con fronted with a very serious defect In my equipment. I had acquired, by years of work with the lance, such confidence in my ability 10 place it where l desired that had not thought 1t necessary to provide more than one spade lance; but now my fish was very much alive and fighting mad and I was without a spade lance.
 The water was so thick that the Manta could not be seen until very near the surface, but Charlie kept the slack of his harpOon hauled in and the line showed the direction in which the fish was travelling under water. Cap tain Jack steered the boat, which was kept running. and that 1t was well handled Is shown by the fact that not once in more than a dozen rushes did the devilfish reach the surface without finding our boat on her back. Each time I drove the lance through her heart or brain one or more times, and after the fight she showed % such wounds.
 Through all this fight there was one uncertain and disturbing factor that we were not in a position to guard against-namely, that the great male mate of the wounded Manta kept near us until the fight was over and three times nearly capsized us by pushing 1 the boat from the back of the female. once, just after We had been nearly | capsized by a heavy blow from the head of the male, and when the female was fighting most violently, when we were all covered with the blood of our | victim and the boat was almost filled with water, the youngest member of the crew Uuther Dixonl, thinking that the end for all of us was near, tried to force a harpoon into my hand as he screamed, .Iron the big bull and let's
 all go to h. in tow of team of devilsI" l quote this to show the tenn. per of the men. for while Luther, and probably others of the crew. thought
 this our last fight, neither he nor any
 other man showed even trace of fear
 Then the dying Manta raised her head
 against the side of the boat and gave q
 loud harsh bark or cough. and as l ex
 claimed, Watch her eyes looking two
 ways at oncer, the stricken creature
 slowly rolled one of her eyes, until
 with that one only, she seemed to lool
 at all of us behind her In the boat.
 Before striking the Ianta had
 looked at my watch and called out th,
 time, and as the big fish died, l agair
 pulled 1t out and asked. "How Iong?'
 Not one of the crew placed the time o
 the fight at less than two hours ant
 when told them that 1t had taken on
 ly % minutes, they wanted to see | : the watch had not stopped. The figh was now over, the great female Mant, that we had come for was dead; bu there was still man-siZed job in iron of us and we at once made the fisl fast to our stern and headed for BlIn, . Pass, more than a mile away.

The first was q female, well above 15 feet in width, and I was about to at tack it, when I saw, nearly a mile away, the largest Manta that I have ever seen.
