The sym pathetic descriptions Of this
intelligent woman have held true dur
ing all generations since her time Men
have written many books upon the sci
ence-the secret-the art of angling, and
the latest is the one named above.
The FIRST object Of this work. says the
editor is to supply general Information
on the Brook Trout the salvelinus fOn-
tinalis. Another object is to give an
entertaining book to amateurs and ex-
pert anglers a book not to be read and
cast aside, but to be reread and packed
with rod and reel when the fisherman
fees business cares and city iron and
asphalt and seeks the cool and calm and
peace of country brooksides. This is a
worthy ambition; and it might be call
ed not good one if two hundred and
fOrty-nine years ago Izaak Walton had
not published The Compleat Angler

ton, being Discourse of Fish and
Fishing not unworthy the perusal of
most anglers. Simon Peter said, I go a

such writing. But it may be a fore

The Habits of the Trout is a sub
ject to which the veteran angler, Mr..
w. c. Harris rises knowingly. This
writer feels his game and he feels its
environment, the beauty and whole
sOmeness of the scene and the adven-
ture of the catch, as the following NOR
sci Will show. THE trout is always on
the alert for food or enemies, with his
head up stream, posing in silence and
beauty of form, and, at times, as mo-
tOnless, seemingly ossified, as a brook
pickerel, which of all fishes is the most
statuesque IN repose. and one of the

rents of water from broken mains
poured into the tunnel shaft while
the wreekage was being cleared from
the street railway subway, and it was
feared that the street might cave in.
The cause of the explosion and the
quantity of explosives that blew up
are not definitely known. Several
causes have been advanced. One was
that fire started near the powder
room and that Master Mechanic Viii
liam Tubbs lost his life in a desper-
ate attempt to quench it before it
reached the deadly fuel. Another was
that 1t started from a spark produced

gas explosion from electrical contact
in the trolley conduit of the street

the true explanation. Several men

Shaler, Bracken and McGrath, the

assigned to the coroner's office en-
tered and. under the coroner's in
structions, demanded that the pris.
oners appear before that official. Mr..
Jerome allowed them to go, but he
and his assistants followed. The dis.
trict attorney told the coroner that
there was no information in the
patrolman's affidavit ON which to hold
anybody, and there was wordy
Wran. lie between the two officials. In
spite OF protests the coroner gave the
case to the jurymen, who returned a
verdict recommending the discharge
of the prisoners. The coroner then
opened court as sitting magistrate,
had the men re-arrested and held
them without bail. More protests
came from Mr.. Jerome and the coro.
ner changed his decision, holding the
men in $4,000 each.
All this had worked up the feelings
Of everybody SO much that there was

Then the detectives and the clerk
had each other arrested but soon bet.
