TICKLING TROUT.
The Little Beauties Are oftea Caught
by the Hand.

Shakespeare is far from being the only
high authority who asserts the posi-
bility of catching trout without the aid
Of any other angling implements than
the fishermans own hands. Robert
Louis Stevenson knew all about this
simple but effective method. There is
passage in Kidnapped that describes
it minutely. While David Balfour and
Alan Brock Stewart We're hiding in the
mountains. they supplemented their diet
of porridge in Just this way, and as
David says, "grilled the little trouts
that we caught with our hands under
the stones and overhanging banks Of the
burn. This, he adds, was indeed our
chief pleasure and business. We spent
a great part Of our days at the water
side, stripped to the waist, and cropping
about or tas they say guiding for
these fish. The largest we got might
have been three-quarters of a pound"
So Captain Nettleton, about whose trout
tickling exploits there was an editorial
article in the Times on Sunday. is again
indicated 1t will be seen that Steven
son uses the word s'guddling.' In the
North of ireland the term is ginning.
The latter comes probably from the
Scotch sinner or 'ginnel,' tishs
gill None of the dictionaries make any
attempt 70 explain 'Guddle." An am
eient fisherman z whom there is no
guile. informs us that trout remain quiet
when tickled because parasites, espe-
clally at the l5w-water season, fasten
the mselves upon the creatures skin.

Dr. BorstIeman's Surprising Discovery
and the simple Explanation.

~. bSFsftemaus Surprising Discovery
and the simple Explanation.
Or. Borstleman was at Lake Den
mark, n j.. a few days ago studying
the fauna and fora of that wild and
beautiful section Of Morris county.
While strolling around the shallow
shore of the lake ~ SUNDAY evening he
discovered marvellous thing which
made his blood Jingle with hope that he
was about To add to the ichtholcical
knowledge of the country, says New
York sun. He saw in the clear water
near the shore some bright objects fash
ing with phosp horeseent fire. The doc
tor knew Of phosphoreseent fish in salt
water. and was aware also that moth
ing Of the kind had ever been noted as
inhabiting fresh water Consequently
he believed that he had discovered new
species, and he made haste To get his
minnow net and capture one Of the live
~ little creatures. II was no easy mat
ter to do this. but after trying for an
hour he succeeded i'm catching two of
the fish in one scoop os the net De-
lighted with his great luck. he hur-
ried to the house and examined his
prizes by the light of a kerosene lamp.
They were each two and three-quarter
inches long, and almost transparent,
with a stripe of silvery sheen down each
side from gills to tail. Under the lamp
the phosphorescence could not be seen.
but this did not deter the doctor from
going on with the examination. He dis
sected one of the fish carefully. and then
removed the lamp from the room. There
was the phosphorescent glow upon the
card where he had placed the viscera of
the little fish; moreover. they seemed to
be imbued with life. Sticking a pin
through the center Of the glowing sac
he brought the light back, and opening
the sac disclosed four or FIVE of the large
tlre-flies which abound at the mountain
lake. Two f them were still alive The
doctors appointment was keen, but
he could not refrain from laughing at
the sir plicity of the solution of the mat
ter. 'lhe glowing insects had been taken
in ~ the lively little fish as they strug-
glad upon the surface of the water, and
their strong incandescence shone
through the translucent sides Of their
captors.
