How the Heron Attracts Trou.

London Nows.l
The old writers on angling, especial
ly Walton, had a number of queer
magical recipes for alluring trout.
Among the various rather nasty com
pounds, in which "ivy oil " played a
part, we do not remember that a
heron's breast was an Ingredient, yet
if NJ. Noury, who has lately written
on the matter, understands his sub
ject, there is nothing that attracts
trout so much as the breast of the
heron. In the streams Risle, Eure.
lthon and Tongue, hat solitary an
gler, the heron, has nearly extermina-
ted the trout. Many of us have
watched the patient bird waiting for
his prey, but il has been left for NJ.
Noury to discover how he attracts
the fish. The heron wades into the
water till it reaches its breast, and,
when trout pass, dives down on
them with its bill. There is a pleas
ing bird to be seen in some aviaries
of which visitors are warned by the
attendant that "'e always haims at
the heve.n The heron is less
particular, and spites the trout where
and how he can. But why do the
trout not give him a wide berth why
do they actually make, if Mr.. Noury
is right, for the place where the heron
has taken his stand ? The reason is
thisi " Beneath the skin ON the
breast Of the heron are certain small
reservoirs which secrete a fatty mat
ter that the animal can cxude at
pleasure" This substance has a smell
offensive to us, but peculiarly pleasant
to trout, The unfortunate fish 90 to
look for the source of their fayorite
delicacy, and then the heron is down
on them. If the breast Of a heron be
placed in a trout trap the latter will
soon be full of fish, no matter how
large it is" If this be true, it prob
ably has not escaped the notice Of Mr..
Frank Buckland. Perhaps ii is
scarcely right to circulate the story,
for we shall have disloyal bait fishers
keeping herons' breasts in their worm
bags. One OF two experiments will
decide the question.

PvBLIc LEpsEr orEIcE,

mhArhiss July III 1918.
The leading features in the local
financial market is the paying of
checks by the bank t%ellers, those hav-
ing deposit amounts drawing enough
funds to carry them out of the city.
There is an uneasy feeling caused by
the yellow fever scare, and a damper
has been put upon business by the re-
ported appearance of the saffron-hued
monster. In the loan market nothing
of interest is going on. The ruling
interest rate is 6 per cent, with a firm
tendency. The owners of productive
stocks continue to draw their pro rata
of dividends recently declared, and
they do it with cheerful feelings, as
well as becoming grace, in view of
the prospect ahead Of long season of
d~ullness.
Exchange is stagnant, except the
selling of New York checks at 4c pre-
MUM, Departing citizens are max
ing a rather brisk business in this
line. 1t is not likely to last more
than a week. however. The sale of
Eastern cotton bills is aboutsuspended
for the present. Rates are nominal at
par buying. On New Orleans rates
are par selling and &c discount buy
ing.
The National treasury at Washing
ton, and its branch Office at New
York, are busy redeeming S165, 49,
3OOin called bonds during the present
month. This movement, it is claimed,
has unsettled the New York money
market temporarily. BY the end of
the month, when all these bonds are
paid, it is believed the monetary stu
alton will become quiet, and loanable
funds abundant as well as cheap. In
the meantime all solvent railroad and
other bonds, as we'll as favorite stocks,
are meeting large sales in the New
York market, and all good invest
ments find ready buyers.
