The bed of Southampton Water consista of mud
in which a vast number of eels burrow. These have been
caught by the native fishermen from time immemorial by
spearing, and by line and book baited with a long serrated
worm found in the mud. Some time since a strange fisher-
man came and plied his calling in Sonthamptos Water. lie
confined himself to eel fishing, and met with extraordinary
success. Day after day he caught upwards of a hundred-
! weight of fish with a line and hook, while a native fisher-
man at the same time could not catch one-tenth of the
quantity. Upwards of two yeah elapsed before the secret
of the meows of the strange fisherman was discovered, and
which proved to be using for bait the minute crabs which
, abound in the mud when they have shed their shells. Their
I only covering is then a tough skin. On cutting open eels
there is invariably found inside them the remains of crabs.
The native fishermen now use crabs for bait, and eels are
caught in Southampton Water in far greater abundance
, than formerly.
EXHIBITI ON OF AUSTRALIAN GaAs—The A egit-
tro/anan states that it is proposed to have an exhibition of
cologial gems at Melboarne. Within the last three or four
years in various parts of the colony of Victoria diamonds
and precious stones of various kinds have been found—some
of them very pare and of considerable value.
HERRHAIAI IN TIM Naw Foaner.—The govern-
ment bas at length ssacticeed a search for real and iron in I
the New Forest, and scientific men are now prospecting
over that domain. It has long been thought that mescal
treasures exist under the roots of the gigantic trees of the
forest, although geologists have entortaleed a different
opinion.
