Fishing by Telephone.

Consul Louis Goldschmidt Of Nantes,
France, makes the report that a use for
the telephone in fishing has just been
invented in Norway. A microphone, the
role of which consists in simplifying
submarine sounds, is shut up in thin,
watertight steel box and kept in CON
slant communication by metallic wires
with a telephone receiver installed on
the fishing boat. It is stated that with
this apparatus the fisherman is always
informed of the approach of fish. More
over. it is said that each kind Of fish
gives in the instrument a particular
sound. Thus the arrival of herring is
signalized by sort of whistling; the
Goldfish announces its arrival in the
