that a cavity in the gem incloses a

great pressure. When the temperature
is such as to correspond with the crit

through, except that good many fish
will get caught III the meshes, and die
before they can be taken out. This is
an objection against making the wings
of wire, for many fish would be caught
by the net and be either lost or be taken
out with difficulty. The ordinary meth
od is TO place a row of stones in the
form OF wings from the lower end of
the trap across the stream; these turn
the FISH to the mouth of the trap, which
they enter rather than try to get over
the stones. This, however, is only pos
sible in shallow streams. and in the
shalloweSt parts of the bed. The trap
is generally set in the deepest water,
for the fish naturally choose this pas
sageway. The wire netting, of purse,
would be open to the objection hat it
would catch all the floating tras.. going
down the stream, and be thus very like
Is to be broken. This might be easily
removed, however, and it is the only
objection, except the cost OF it, that lies
against it.
Another form Of trap for fish is also
shown in the lower part of the cut.

in a stream with wings placed to direct
the fish to the opening. II is open at

that many contests between the Ben

ANOTHER SCARE.
Supposed Mad Dog Killed BY officer Posey
Sunday Morning.
quences.

The Marion street neighborhood was
considerably stirred up Sunday morn
ing over a supposed mad dog which was
running at large and threatening pc
destrians. The dog was of the Shep-
herd breed, similar to the one recently
killed in front of the Yale Hotel. The
brute attempted to bite Mrs. Will
Koerner, who narrowly escaped injury.
Officer Posey was sent for and soon
arrived with shotgun, with which he
disposed of the animal in short order.
The dog had every indication of hydro
phobia and it was very fortunate that
it was killed before doing any damage.
