The senses Of smell and taste appear
to be well developed in the great major
ity of the fish species. Tobacco thrown
overheard from vessels is often seized
by mackerel and halibut, but is imme-
diatcly rejected. Nearly all varieties Of
fish, and more especially the 'ground
swimmers" have choice of food. Hall
but and cod are attracted great dis
tance by certain kinds of bait. Herring,
when fresh and in good condition, are
splendid bait for cod, but are Of no use
whatever if they have become stale from
long keeping. Catfish, buffalo and one
or two varieties Of the bass will bite
bacon when they will pay no attention
whatever to the luscious angleworm.
The above and other facts which could
easily be cited in proof have caused fish
ermen and scientists to come to the con-
clusion that the sen,es Of smell and taste
are both remarkably developed among
the finny tribe.--St Louis Republic.
