Fish where the fish are. Thai's the way the big 
catches are made. It s all the same to the Shannon. 
Then note how close the blades run to point of hook. 
No fish can hit them without being hooked. A 
strike means a fish. That s why so many big catches

plank into eighteen-inch lengths to close jj 
up the ends. We now have a box 18 
inches wide, 12 inches deep and 6 feet 
long. Its total volume is nine cubic feet, 
and it will support in the water 558 
pounds (including its own weight, and 
providing the seams are watertight) be- 
fore water comes over the top. True, we 
have used some extra wood and a few 
nails to fasten the original pieces to- 
gether, but that’s where civilization be- 
gins to show, j 
We have lost somewhat in that we 
now have a sinkable contrivance, but it!l 
would support 250 pounds in comparative 
safety, and the rest is a matter of per- 
sonal skill in keeping right side up, an-, 
other step in civilization, or, at least,! 
the dawn of it. | 
Of course, a boat of these dimension? 
would not be practical, but you undoubt- 1: 
edly get the drift of the idea. By the|jj 
use of what we are accustomed to terrn^^ 
our minds, and the addition of a littlej 
labor, we have improved upon nature’s! 
raw materials to the extent of making a1 
block of cedar carry in the water twenty il 
times its own weight instead of some-| 
thing less than twice. 
The simple mathematics we have gonCj! 
through are the fundamentals of the de- 
sign and construction of all boats and 
ships. The processes grow complex as^ 
we progress from the log through thel 
box to the conventional boat - shaped j 
form, but in every case it is simply a solu- 
tion of the same basic question : How big 
must a boat be to carry a given weight 
and carry it safely, with something tq 
spare ? i 
In the articles to follow we will lool 
into a few of these complexities as w( 
try our brains and hands on better boats 
suitable for various purposes. 
HOW TO TAKE CARE 
OF A RIFLE J 
{Continued from page 249) f 
bore had previously been allowed to be-|! 
come bady rusted or pitted. 
Emery or other abrasive substance'| 
should never be used to clean out thf 
bore of a rifle as their use will do mon 
harm than good, and they may spoil tht 
barrel entirely. Rust-removing com- 
pounds will generally do neither good noi 
harm to a rusted or pitted rifle barrel' 
The best course to take in dealing witl 
a rusty or pitted rifle barrel is to clear 
it as thoroughly as possible, keep it wel 
oiled with a good grade of gun oil or i 
rust preventative, and let worse enough 
alone. If the. barrel does not respond t( 
this treatment, get a new barrel. oi 
Black, semi - smokeless and lesmol 
powders cannot be used in rifles having 
quick twists, like the 25-35, 30-30, 30-40 
etc., as they will foul the barrels of such 
guns badly, making it difficult to cleat 
the gun and sometimes cause severe case 
of leading or metal fouling. These pow 
ders will also cause excessive fouling ii S 
black powder rifles if they are usei 
loosely in small charges in shells bavins 
a large chamber space. i
