INVENTION OF FISHERMAN MAY
REvOLUTIoNIZE INDUSTRY.
Old Salt at Gloucester Has Device
Called "the Jigger" Which May
Mean Great Saving to the
New EneIanders.

Gloucester. Mass.-Capt. Angus
Hines, a weather-beaten fisherman,
has invented a new method of captur-
ing cod without bait that promises to
revolutionize the fishing industry of
New England. All along the coast.
from Maine to Cape Cod, the baitless
topic of interest.
For nearly score of years the cost
of salted clans, squid and eels and
other cod bait has been an important
factor in reducing the profits of New
England fishermen.
Captains of fishing schooners that
sail from Boston, Cape Ann and Cape
Cod have been obliged to fill their
vessels holds with bait in barrels be-
fore proceeding to the fishing grounds.
The salted clans have to be shipped
from Maine for this purpose. Often
days are spent on the fishing grounds
in capturing squid for bait
Capt Hines, who recently sailed in
M Parker, with $4,000 pounds of
cod, a record load, created a sensation
among fishing concerns by catching
fully half this cargo by means of his
latest tangled device for Turing the
cod from the depths.
Capt. Hines, when he started for
Sable island in May. carried 14O bar
rels of salted clans for bait Before
returning he threw so barrels over
board and gave away 20 barrels to
other fishermen.
This new device for taking fish has
been named 1.-The jigger." 1t consists
of a nodded fsh-shaped piece of
shiny lead. about eight inches long
from the head of which projects a
pair of big hooks.
When Capt. Hines arrived on the
fishing grounds at Sable island last
May he discovered that the schools
of fish were slow to take the clam
bait. Instead, the cod seemed to be
pursuing the herring which infested
the waters.
Confronted with this problem, the
captain set to work to solve it 1t was
impossible to obtain herring enough
for bait, and the thought struck him
that a device made to deceive the cod
would solve his troubles.
With a piece of lead the captain
fashioned little fish over the upper
ends of two large cod hooks and
