nocent Minnow Into Acting Balt-
Many a time what promised to be a
fine days fishing has been spoiled by a
long and tedious hunt for the proper
kind of bait with which to angle A.
pair of boot-heels sticking up through
the grass BY the side of brook, and
issuing seemingly from under the
earth, Is a familiar Indication to a
large number of people who have
been there themselves that some
ardent and irritable fisherman is lying
there on his face. trying to keep out of
sight of the timid minnows he wants
to scoop up out of the stream at one
dash. and then be off. But the little
minnows are in no hurry. They dart
away at the sight of his unfamiliar
scoop net, and lie under the farther
bank wriggling their little tails tantal-
izingly. Now the fisherman wishes
he had taken time by the foreloek and
securee his bait on the day before he
was to start on his expedition. He
reyiles his procrastination as the min
utes slip by. and the hot sun beats on
his back. and he resolves meyer to do
it again. But this does not mollify the
minnows in the least. and the scene
generally ends By the angler going off
furious with only few miserable lit
tie fellows in his can.
An ingenious inventor has come to
the relief of fishermen lately, by pro-
dueing minnow trap that Is hard to
beat First of all it is wholly COM
posed of transparent. colorless glass,
and is in shape much like big cart
ridge. with pointed bullet in it. It
is about two and one-half feet long,
and as big around as a mans leg
above the knee. It is hollow, Of
course. aud what would be the fat end
of the cartridge is punched in. like the
bottom of glass bottle and there is
small round hole in the apex of the
cone thus made. The other and the
pointed end of the trap is fitted with q
little sliding door. This big glass
cartridge is intended to be set on its
side in the bottom of brook where
minnows abound. The cautious ones
soon become accustomed to it, ana the
reckless fellows don't see it till they
bump their noses against it. Some
nice bait is put inside the trap, and
the miunows soon find their way into
it, through the hole In the punched-in
end. The little door at the other end
is shut, of course.
The minnows are unable to find
! their way out. because they follow the
sides of the trap and this leads them
into the culde-sac at the fiat end. all
around the bottom of the cone. They
are easily poured out. however. with
the water in the trap, by holding the
| thing up. pointed end down, and OPEN
/ ing the little slide-door. Wire is
twisted around the outside of the trap,
and forms handle by which it is con-
yeniently carried. and the wire also
protects the glass from injury.
