you have specified information to go by. 
A more serious deceit of the compass is 
its capacity in some places for being 
affected by mineral deposits in the 
ground of which you may know nothing 
about. In an iron producing country, the 
compass needle will occasionally point in 
a wholly wrong direction, or again it will 
remain in any position in which it hap¬ 
pens to be placed. In such a spot, of 
course, a compass is worse than useless. 
Such conditions, however, are quite ex¬ 
ceptional. In the great majority of cases 
the compass can betrusted implicitly, even 
when to outward appearances it seems to 
be taking you in the wrong direction. 
So long as the needle moves freely, it is 
probably right. But the danger of local 
attraction should always be guarded 
against and this can be accomplished by 
making sure when taking observations 
that there are no guns, knives, or similar 
metal objects in close proximity to the 
compass. 
UNSINKABLE CORK- 
BODY STONE FLIES 
(Continued from page 179 ) 
embraces specimens much varied in size, 
form and color, from the tiny emerald 
to the big orange-stone with a body over 
an inch long. Were I restricted to one 
fly for the season, I would choose the 
Yellow Sally (as I tie it) to any other 
fly for May and June, indeed, to the 
end of July, after careful studies and 
trials of the past six seasons. While 
some of this family are day-flies, most 
of them begin to hatch and take wing 
toward late afternoon, becoming thicker 
at evening to dark. They may be seen 
in flight all day in cloudy and rainy 
weather, seemingly afraid of the warm 
rays of the sun. Their flight is clumsy 
and slow, the four long, lace wings ap¬ 
pear to be unable to keep the large body 
in rapid motion, and it very often hap¬ 
pens the insect is tossed about by the 
wind on the water’s surface where it 
flutters about unable to extricate itself 
and is soon devoured. Although the 
natural insect is rarely seen in the sun¬ 
shine, at such times it makes no differ¬ 
ence regarding the effectiveness of the 
artificial imitations, for I have often used 
the flies with excellent results on sunny 
days all through the season. All the 
same, after sundown it is tJu: fly par 
excellence. 
A LL four of this special cork-body set 
are listed in my series of “nature 
flies,” but these are tied different, ex¬ 
pressly for the purpose of surface fish¬ 
ing. All the bodies are a solid piece of 
cork sufficient to keep the weight of hook 
from sinking. A new feature, so far as 
I know, never before attempted is to 
paint the rich colored bodies and tail in 
oil colors which, after a coat of varnish, 
retains the right colors for a much longer 
period, and is lighter in weight than 
when tied of silks. For several seasons 
I have used them with excellent results; 
both rainbows and browns rise freely to 
them as do many bass of average size in 
running water. There is a twofold ad¬ 
vantage in using these cork-body floaters:
