» LIGHT FOR THE FISHES.
For catching bass at dusk the fol
lowing plan is sometimes tried in
the upper part of the state. The
fisherman anchors in comparatively
deep water outside the lily pads.
He rigs an extra rod and attaches a
nine-foot leader to the end of the
line. At the end of the leader he
ties a heavy sinker, and al>out five
feet above the sinker a large* bob
or piece of cork, which ha.i previous
ly received a heavy coat of
phos
phorus, Mays the New York Sun.
Without hook or bait he easts this
line well in toward the pads, the line
being held in place at the surface by
a second cork.
The Lne is reeled out, and the rod
laid on the aide of the boat. Then
selecting a lively minnow he baits
his casting rod and drops the min- I
now within a foot or two of the
other l ne. He then lights his pipe
ami awaits developments,
From
time to time as the minnow swims
away from the lure a new cast is
made.
The explanation of the success of
this plan of catching bass is that the
fish are attracted by the phosphor
escent bob and in swimming around
it find the bait. The plan has proved
successful when small frogs or craw
fish were used instead of minnows.
An incentive genius, who first saw
the lure in use at Upper St. Regis
lake, sent to New York for a bat
tery, waterproof wire and ground
glass electric bulbs. For some rea
son the elaborate apparatus was not
a success.
Those who made the experiment
say the lure is equally effective when
used in trolling. For this purpose
the lure is nfade of cork or light
pine. It is attached to the line about
ten feet in front of the hooks.

AN UNINHABITABLE LAND.
A well-known civil engineer, H. B.
Carpenter, who has recently com
pleted the survey of the southern
line of Utah, says the boundary be
tween that state and Arizona does
not er >ss a foot of cultivated land.
It traverses a desert, which is cut
up by great canyons that are almost
inqms.Mtble. The length of thr line
is 277 miles. Landmarks along the
line wdl make it possible for the
boundary to be located without any
diflh-ulty in thr future. Just ras: of
thr Colorado river a sandstone butte
rises I.COO feet above the plain, and
thr very peak of this butte is exact
ly on the bonnilary. Mr. Carpenter
named the |>eak State Line butte.
Not far from this butte is another,
which stands 1,300 feet above the
plain, a. ml was named Tower peak.
These two gigantic stones will al
ways be a guide to persons who have
enough curiosity to penetrate the
desert in search of the state lina.

IS GROWING IN FAVOR.
The custom of cremation prevailed
throughout the civilized world before
the Christian era, excepting among
the Egyptians, Chinese and Hebrews,
and recent statistics show that there
is a constant and growing tendency
to return to the custom.
The disposition of the human dead
by incinceration has been meeting
with more and more favor, that has in
no wise been retarded since the first
cremation society was formed in Lon
don in 1874. That sume year a crema
tory was erected in Milan and twe
years afterward one was built in
Lodi, Italy. In two years more there
was one in Gotha, Germany, and aft
erward they began to appear in all
lands.
The first one in this country was
erected in Washington, Pa., in 1883,
and the one in Fresh Pond, L. I., came
two years afterward. In this latter
eight bodies were cremated the first
year and 76 in the second year. In 1900
the total has passed the 600 mark, and
during last year it reached 654.
There are now 26 crematories in the
United States. In the year that New
York’s first crematory was opened
only- 46 bodies were cremated in the
entire country, while last year the
number was 2,645.
