THE GROWTH OF TROUT.
Age, Food and Temperature Seem to
Have No Bearing on Size.
From the ST paui Disna

From the St. Paul Dispatch.
The Salvclinus fontinalis, which Is cur
rently but inaccurately called brook trout.
was supposed for many years to be a small
fish. Agassiz was largely instrumental in
exploding this fallacy. 1t is not an uncom-
mon thing for an angler with ordinary
luck to get d six or even-pound trout of
this variety. 1t is known that a trout
may grow to weigh eleven or twelve
pounds. There is. however, great diff
Guilty in accounting for it's variation in
size.
In northeastern Canada there arc large
streams and lakes in which only finger
lings have even been fond. In the i'm
mediate vicinity of such waters three and
four pound trout are quite common and
seven and eight FOUNDERS are not phenom-
email. In all these waters crustacea do
not abound, there are no small fish of
any kind except small trout. All the fish
are pure fly feeders. AT some places. it is
true. frogs abound, but taken as a whole
the difference In food supply is not an
adequate explanation for the difference
in growth.
There is no substantial difference in the
waters as to temperature. size, origin anG
course. Climatic conditions are the same.
The small trout taken to virgin lakes in
which there are no fish have sometimes
grown TO a great size. have sometimes
remained small and sometimes nave not
thriven. The anglers who haunt these
waters AVE not Yet found a satisfactory
explanation of this peculiar condition of
things. 1t is one of the mysteries which
lends fascination to the art. You never
can tell what is going to happen when
you go fishing

The Story of the Nevada Gold Strike.
