Along the coast of France, where the
land line is formed by long stretches Of
sand banks lying between the high cliff
uplands. there usel % be found inAuncr-
able rabbits who made their burrows in
the dry sand above high water mark.
They Ian one hole into another, SO that
the labyrinth Of underground passages
frequently extended for several hundred
feet. rendering it next 10 impossible to
disloige the inmates III the usual man
ner by slipping a ferret into one Of the
holes. For il this were done, the ferret
would simply drive the rabbits from one
corner of the network. to another, where
they would hide as soon as they evaded
him.
The continental poacher, ever prolific
in devices, knowing that the instinct of
the crab will lead him always to descend
in search Of water, elaborated a system
Of placing a bolt net at the mouth Of
every hole he could locate, n0matter how
many there might be. Then, taking a
dozen or so Of good sized crabs, lie
fastened about half an inch Of composite
wax candle TO the center Of each sAcil,
fixing them firmly enough for his pr-
pose by slightly melting the wax at the
bottom, and then pressing it into the
shell. These pieces Of wax candles he
obtained from the inn keepers and lodg-
ing house keepers in the adjacent coast
town. lie then lighted the candles and
turned one crab into each OF the main
runs.
The crab, just taken from damp
place, Immediately sought the lowest
ground in the burrow, carrying his light
with him, where light had never pene-
trated before. The rabbits. frightened
almost 10 death, rushed madly through
the runs 10 the mouths of the holes,
sprang ont into the bolt nets and hope
lessly tangling themselves in the meshcs,
lay painting until the poacher came and
put them out Of their misery. More than
100 rabbits have been taken from q single
burrow at one haul, and the practice
proved so destructive 20 the rabbits that
