THE EXPERT CASTER
riaclns IIIb Fly Im Not Mere Chance
but a Fine Art
The art of casting Is In Itself simple
and may be readily acquired by any
painstaking fisherman The rod passes
only through a quadrant It starts par
allel with the water and coming to
the perpendicular stops The motion
Is a quick rigid jerk as fast as It can
be made and the rod does the rest
The motion forward is at the beginning
a gradual feeling for the tension of the
line that is when it Is about to
Btraighten Once this is assured the
movement increases in rapidity from
butt to tip the result being much the
same as driving at a peg with a long
handled hammer slow at the start
and quick at the finish the bend of the
rod being first at the butt and gradual
ly ascending to the tip
In casting nothing Is left to chance
by the expert caster He knows exact
ly where he wants to put his lly with
in a foot or two and puts It there the
feathered barb traveling past him at
from six inches to four feet above the
water as he may elect although it may
go above the shoulder if desired In
some long casts one may see the fly
pass below the hip Indeed the degree
of command one can gradually acquire
is really wonderful
A single cast where fish are located
is as a rule sufficient They will rise
at once and if the fisherman is an ex
pert at dropping his lly he can bring
fish to the spot from some distance
One may frequently see fish attracted
from a point so far from the fly that
they break water two or three times
before taking the hook On the other
hand a fly awkwardly dropped will be
taken with a leisurely grab the fish
simply sucking it in and the exhilara
tion of a spirited rise is lost The more
expert a fisherman is at fly casting the
more thoroughly he enjoys the sport

THE TYPHOON
A Clilncse Legend of the Origin of
Tliis Fierce Storm
This very odd bit is by a Chinaman
A little schoolboy while on his way
to school one day picked up what
seemed to him a small white pebble
He put it into his pocket It proved to
be a snake egg and In time through
the heat of his pocket it hatched out a
young reptile
The boy fell in love with it and car
ried it from day to day to school with
him and fed It with a part of his own
lunch until it became too big to be car
ried Avhen he made a nest for it at
home
But one day it suddenly grew to
enormous size and upon the boys ar
rival home he was frightened to death
AVhen the monster saw what he had
done he was sorely afllicted and re
fused to be fed but immediately put on
mourning by turning his color from
brown to pure black He crawled be
side the grave of his departed friend
and lay there for seven days and
nights
At the completion of the seventh
night he came back to his late home
but the boys old mother was so en
raged at him for killing her only son
that she picked up an ax and chopped
his tail off
With a fearful scream and a lash of
his bleeding tail he felled the house
and made his way to the Moo Soon Sai
mountains where he never shows him
self but once a year just about the
time when he lost his tail to come out
and make trouble for the people by cre
ating storms called the typhoon This
he does to square himself for losing his
valuable tail
Lounge Anatomy
The modern interest in science
through observation has become
more or less of a mania Even the chil

a great interest in physiology and anat

One day some members of the family
had been studying a dissected porcu
pine and making drawings of the
bones
Not long after his sisters took an old
lounge apart and Georgie watched
them Presently he came running to
another member of the family his eyes
on fire his cheeks flushed and his
locks flying behind him
Come Come he cried If you
want to study physerology nows your
chance The girls have got the lounge
all to pieces

THE ANT QUEENS
They Live Longer Tiuin the Workers
of Their CoiiumiultloM
How long may an ant queen live In
their natural habitat some queens
doubtless have short lives but by rea
son of the protection afforded them
and the seclusion enforced by the
workers they probably live much lon
ger than other members of the com
munity Within artificial surroundings
they attain a comparatively long life
The oldest emmet queen known to sci
ence was one preserved under the care
of Sir John Lubbock later Lord Ave
bury A number of years ago during
a visit to this distinguished naturalist
at his country seat High Elms Kent
the writer for the first time saw this
venerable sovereign living in the in
genious artificial formicary which liad
been prepared for heL She was then
In the prime of life as it afterward ap
peared being seven years old
In the summer of 1S87 Sir John was
again visited this time at his town
house In London After greetings he
was asked about his royal pet
I have sad news to tell you he an
swered
What Is the queen dead
She died only yesterday I have not
had the heart to tell the news as yet
even to my wife
Having offered my hearty condo
lence 1 asked to see the dead queen
Sir John led the way to the room
where his artificial nests were kept
The glass rase which contained the
special formicary in which the old ant
had lived was opened up Lying in one
of the larger open spaces or rooms was
the dead queen She was surrounded
by a crowd of workers who were ten
derly licking her touching her with
their antenna and making other dem
onstrations as if soliciting her atten
tion or desiring to wake her out of
sleep Poor dumb loving faithful
creatures There was no response
Their queen mother lay motionless be
neath their demonstrations -
They do not appear to have discov
ered that she is really dead remarked
Sir John Afterward he wrote me of
another queen which died at the age of
fourteen The ants dragged her body
about with them when they moved un
til it fell to pieces H C McCook in

A SNAKE STORY
Men Who Coin the Venomous Rep
tiles to Dite Tliem
Men can become accustomed to
snake bite just as they can become ac
customed to anything else said a man
-who had spent much time in studying
the habits of reptilian life and in not
a few instances which have come un
der my observation the snake bite has
really become not only pleasurable
but a kind of physical necessity You
see the poison is stimulating It works
like an rtpiate of the kind adminis
tered by persons who fall victims to
the pernicious habit of using the nee
dle or of taking the stuff internally
I have known a number of men who
would make snakes bite them every
day and they simply couldnt get along
without it Their energies would begin
to lag They -would feel drowsy and
lifeless By allowing a snake to bite
them they could relieve this condition
The poison would stimulate and buoy
up having the same effect as a dose of
morphine or cocaine or other kinds of
dope lias on persons addicted to its
use Of course they are careful not to
get an overdose of poison always ex
tracting enough of it to keep down the
dangerous consequences of the bite
Often men addicted to this ugly prac
tice are forced to tantalize and goad
the snake up to the point of despera
tion in order to make it bite But
they will strike after awhile It is an
awful thing to even think about isnt
it But this -world is filled with curi
ous things and curious persons and
among the -wonders of a coarser kind
is the man who takes the snake fang
