child's play. A really big tuna will weigh from 100 to ITO pounds, and a fellow of this size has enough fight in him to satisfy the average fisherman for life.

Even Uncle Sam has tried unsucces |. fully to find out where the fish com from and where it goes. A few yea S ago several thousand were caught
 a Government boat, thin metal rin fastened around the narrower pal of their tails, and then returned to t ocean. The idea was to see if any, these fish ever come back to the sar waters. or if they migrated to otht :. parts of the ocean, and if so. at wh4r time of the year. But not a sing one of these marked fish has yet bee reported, although the fishermen ht been given to understand that 9 bounty would be paid for any fis caught with ring around it's tail. A ! that the fishermen seem to knoy about the tuna is that it makes i, appearance in June or July, and m; finger around until October or 1t ma not.
 Make Early Start.
 During the tuna season the hshcr men start out of the harbor at ? e clock in the morning. There may t ' a hundred and fifty boats and al practically the same moment they al! lift their anchors and race for tho open ocean. They are going afte bait, which is in the form of sardines about four or five inches long,. and which are caught just outside the har- bor. The sardines are caught in nets, and as it Is quite dark at the hour, each net is attached to sort of float ing dishpan In which lighted lantern is placed. This lantern is to guide the man at the wheel who gives the boat slow turn while the net is be- ing laid out. If he has judged cor rectly when the net is all out his boat is again near the lantern. The fisher men then begin to pull in the net from both ends.
 If they have good luck there are many thousands of sardines in the net These are used for live bait to tempt the tuna. because this fish, un- like many other ocean fishes, is caught with hook and line and not in nets. If the first haul does not bring in a sufficient number of sardines, the net Is again lowered and the boat noses around until an adequate sup> ply Is caught The live sardines arc carefully lifted from the net with big dipper nets and placed in huge tank built on the deck of the boat. It is necessary to keep a stream of fresh salt water constantly running through the tank and this is accomplished by means of a hose attached to the engine of the boat If for any reason the engine stops running. the fisher men grab buckets and dit water from the ocean into the tank until the engine starts again. The halt must be kept alive at all hazards.
 Method of Catohdns.
 When the boats have nhufr tanks full of bait they move farther out in- to the ocean, in different directions, until they usually lose sight of each other. By this time the sun is almost up and sharp lookout for tuna is kept. A line Is let out about hun dred feet on each side of tho boat, and at the end of the line is a wooden contrapuon with a fish hook. arrang- ed to whirl like the spoon hook uaed in lake fishing. When curious tuna spies this affair. he makes a grab for it. Is hooked and immediately a watchful fisherman on the stern of the boat lets out yell. This means that the boat has run into a school Of tunas browsing around for breakfast.

KK THEN you first hear about " tuna fishing you are pretty
 apt to think of the sport indulged in by men of means who make pilgrimages to San Diego, San Pedro CT Santa Barbara, California, engage fast motorboats, and stand in the end with rod and reel working for hours or days hoping to land a tuna of sufficient size to win membership in the exclusive Association of Tuna Killers.
