Natural baits are those which most anglers are accustomed to using. Such baits include worms, frogs.-minnows, grasshoppers, grubs, salt pork, crickets and many kind of real ilsh food. The most common of all baits is the angleworm, and it is used more than any other because it can be secured so easily. This bait can be used for all kinds of islh and is accepted by large and small alike, no mntter whether surface or bottom feeders. The worms may be used Just as they are taketi from the ground., 1(1 they are generally used in that condition. But if they are dug a week before. washed tiad fed with a few bread crumbs soaked in milk they become toughened and make the best halt. It is a common saying that the big worm will match the big lish. There appears to be little if anything in this, but a worm that is Just the right size to cover the hook when properly im. paled without crowding is the right size. The grasshopper is another good balt. especially for surface feeding fish. Per haps no other pait will cause a lazy old trout to rise so quickly from the depths as will a lively grasshopper. For black bass and other large lish the minnow is the favorite bait. . By "minnow" is menit a small fish, for small fish are invariably called ittn nows by anglers. regardless of their species. Small frogs make good balt for all game fish attd may be used with i sin gle hook by inserting through the lips, like baiting with a minnow. The (ob son, or helgraiite, is excellent nas alt for many kinds of fish. Crawfish are common as halt used for still fishing. They are best at the time they have shed their shell and in this condition may be hooked through the body, blit it other times j i"d be hooked through the taill. lass a fond of crawlish.

Fatalities on account of gasoline (ires are on the increase, which leads the Journal of the Amerlean Medical As sociation to remark that, "it harimony with experl)iieces respecting human ways and hiumian IndilTerence, tle in creasing use of gasoline and other ltiuld fuels which aro dangerous be cause of their ready inI fii Inn bility will probatbly increase the nutnher" of accidents which cause loss of life as well as great damage to property. Mls 'elhtneous hliatrds in the use of the inltiiammable prod uets exist which lead to lenknge of these volatile substances and their Ignition by spontaneous and unttsuspeced methods. as well as those due to obvious Carelessness. "A feature, however, which is not readily comprehended and which is a serious source of danger is the finet that gasoline or gasoline vapor burns. but a mixture of the valior and air Is highly explosive." The bureau of mines in a technIcal paper by G. A. lurrell illustrates the situalltion in these words: "If one takes the cover off a full pail of tightly inclosed gasoline and ap plieslt a match to the surface tle gaso line will flare uip and burn as long as the gasoline lasts. On the other hand, if one puts a few drops of gasoline in a small tightly inclosed pail, waits a few minutes and then introduces a flame or an electri spark a violent ex plosion will most likely result. In the first place, the vapor burns as fast as it comes from the gasoline and mixes with the oxygen of the air; in the second, the oil vaporizes in time pall and mixes uniformly with (lie air lin It to form an explosive mixture, aiid on ignillon exploles. "Consequently, when one hears of a disastrous gasoline explosion one may be sure tht it resulted from the mix Ing of the vator from the gasoline witi air in the propiortions necessary to forma an explosive mixture. "The behavior of ilitimiuiiting gas, whIch burns quietly when liberated ilone. blut explodes when a miixture with air is heated, is gulie iialoguils.
