There are quite a number of men
along the Delaware Bay shore who
make business of catching swapping
turtles for market each season, and they
get very fair pay out OF the business. as
these turtles are always in demand in
the great cities and towns. Several ship.
ments have been made this week. and
each OF the prOgers for turtles religiously
guards the secret of the vicinity where
he has the best catches. Snapper pie
IS dish to be proud of, and we have a
delicious memory Of certain snapper
soups we have eaten. Its hard work To
catch snappers, and harder work TO
get them home after they are caught

the most eongenial companions to have

The Basses-Fresh Water and Marine"
by William C. Harris. DIR. Tarleton H.
Bean and others. is edited by Louis Rhead
also editor of The speckled Brook Trout"
which was pronounced by authorities the
most beautiful angling book heretofore is
sued and which received for it's drawings
and manufacture a gold medal at St.
Louis
With the experience gained, Mr.. Rhead
now follows this success with a still
more admirable volume. From an artistic
standpoint from cover to back the book
is notable, containing as II does about nfty
original pictures, several being in cOlors,
and having a remarkable cover represent
ing the skin OF a striped bass, painted
from living specimen and reproduced
in the natural iridescent hues. There are
also several photo-engravings OF the fsh
in repose, as well as reproductions Of
drawings showing the modes of capture
and the dsh in action.
The. contribution on saltwater basses
Is written by Tarleton II. Bean, a world
famous scientific writer, the founder of
the New York aquarium. for many years a
fish culturist, United States commissioner
at many worlds fairs and as author Of
many books. Dr. Bean, in this volums,

ever written on the striped bass, its habits,
habitat and modes OF capture. Little has
previously been written on this coming,
rightly-named, game fish and DR.. Bean
writes fully and with authority on this
and the other marine basses.
The late William c. Harris was without
peer as practical angler and. after
nifty years of continuous writing he took
up for this volume, his last work, the
fresh-water basses. As part OF his con
tribution he wrote in a narrative way OF
three brother anglers, fishing for the BLACK
bass each describing minutely a different
method or mode of capture. There is
not line OF unnecessary matter, not a
word written but OF value 10 the expert
