sly Little Fisherman

In nearly all streams where the Cur.
rent is swift, you will find the nets OF
the caddice worms tucked down be-
tween two rocks or fastened to a fat
stone on the brink of a waterfall.
These little nets catch stray water
bugs and sometimes entangle small
fish. They are made OF silken fabric
which the worm spins with its mouth
aud are shaped like a funnel the
larger end being pointed up stream,
so that the water rushing past spreads
them out in position. The nets are
very strong and quite similar in cen
struction TO a spiders web.
Close by his net the little fisherman
builds his home. Lift up the nearby
rocks and under them you will find a
little bunch of pebbles bound together
