CHINESE DIPNET.
Then space of SO to 100 feet of water
front is secured from the government as a
field for operations The sweep is planted at
the waters edge, with the net suspended over
the water, and a cord is attached to the ele-
waited end of the beam, by which the net is
lifted to the surface. Then All excavation is
made in the bank and covered in with reeds
or mating to protect the occupant from rain
or storm. In this crude pit the "lone fisher
man" takes up his abode, and year in and
year out he Tor she, for often the women tend
the nets stands and at intervals lifts the net
to secure any chance victim that may be
taken. No bait is used nor is there any rule
by which to determine when to lit the net
1t Is pure game of chance. Yet in the
course OF the day enough fish are usually cap
tured to meet the wants of the fisherman, and
when enough are captured to go to the mar
ket they are either carried or sent in boats
to the nearest city or village to he sold. In
going from Shanghai to Hankow, a distance
or oOO miles, was impressed with the novel
sight OF these dip nets lining the shores on
either hand at short intervals, the entire dis
lance, and such is the state of affairs on all
the waterways of the empire. Small streams
and shallow lakes are fished by dip nets con-
structed upon small boats, which are porta-
BILE. For dcep-water fishing a cast net is EN-
ployed. This is simply wide extended sheet
of netting with lead or iron sinkers on one
end. The net is coiled in the hands of the
operator, and with dexterous toss it is spread
full width over the surface of the water. The
leads sink rapidly to a common center, form
ing bag like shape with the net, which picks
up any fish that happens to be in the water
thus inclosed. The net when thrown is drawn
in and coiled at the same time. When the
inclosed space is taken up the catch is landed
in the boat of the operator and the net thrown
again. This is likewise random fishing, and
is no doubt the same cast net as was EMPLOYED
by the fishermen who were induced to be-
come fishers of men in the time of Christ.
Across narrow channels "gill net" is set,
and the fish in passing up or down the stream
are fastened in the meshes of the net and
captured.
There is but little fishing done in China
with hooks, and their hooks are made by
hand in most primitive and crude manner.
