with a woman who had purchased
a goat upon his advice.
“ All my silk underthings which
T left hanging on the line are gone,”
the woman said, according to Clif­

thought you said it would live off

that.”

It is reported that Professor
Hartley of Dublin has photo­
graphed, in ordinary air, spectro­
scopic lines due, among other
things, to copper and calcium. It
is believed that they arise from fine
dust consisting of these substances,
projected into the atmosphere by
road vehicles, and by smoke and
the sparks of trolley wires. It is
from the latter that the copper is
supposed to ooine. The quantity of
copper thus found is exceedingly
slight. Indeed it is only the delicacy
of th* tests that renders it appreci­
able.
Lines due to lead, carbon,
iron, manganese, nickel and magne­
sium have also been detected, but
tbs quantity of these substances is
even Jess than that of the calcium
and copper, the lines of which are
always prominent in the spectra.—

Fishing for black bass with a
•tie-turn reel is one of the most
fascinating sports there is, thinks
Harold MacOrath, the novelist, and
every summer he takes rods and
lines to Cape Vincent, N. Y., the
greatest base fighting ground in the
world. “ Lordy, how they scrap,” he
says. “ I have to play them. Under­
stand? You can’t keel-haul a bass
with a one-turn reel. You’ve just
gotta play ’em.
“ I have a little trick of making
a bass break after the initial leap.
Nine times out of ten I can ‘lift’
them. That’s the whole story with
m e; to make the bass break three
or four times. Then, of I lose him,
I don’t care a hang. I ’ ve had some
sport.
“ Bass are moody.
Today they
1 are here, tomorrow they are ten
miles away. If you make a catch
j on such and such a bar today, it is
almost folly to return there on the
morrow. And many a school I’ ve
stepped over— and lost. 1 lose the
first bass. The moment he is free,
he starts for Buffalo, HOO miles
away. Anyhow, off the free bass
shoots. What happens is that the
school thinks he has spotted some
bait, and lickity-cut thev, pile after
him. I have seen this often in the
clear water.”
