THE BLACK BASS.
Mysterious Habits Of the Fish TheI
Puzzle the Naturalist

Mysterious Habits OF the Fish Tbes
Puzzle the Naturalist.
Why the black bass bites on one day
and refuses every bait the next; why
he takes helgramites and only hel-
GRANTEES on Monday, Grasshoppers on
Tuesday and frogs on Wednesday,
why he bites only on dark days for a
fortnight and then shifts his biting
humor to days bright and breezy; why
you find him today on sandy bottom
and tomorrow on mud and the day
after on the rocks, are battling traits
of the bass that relate merely to his
sporting relations with the angler
But there are other mysteries that
puzzle the naturalist and bear ON the
organic life of the fish.
Up in Maine are two bass rivers not
Tar apart. In one the fish run often
TO four, even to five, pounds; In the
other rarely above pound and half.
In one of the largest lakes Of New
Hampshire the writer's score for a
whole season once ran up to 30S fish.
Food was evidently abundant, for the
bass were chunky" and the viscarea
thick with fatty tissues. Yet the post
mortem showed in the stomach only
glutinous. unrecognizable white mat
ter, and the largest bass Of the whole
season drew the scales at but pound
and three-quarters. What did those
bass live on, and why didn't they grow
bigger? Again, in the uplands of Con-
necticut are two large lakes some eight
miles apart In the one bass are Of
ten caught in winter ice fishing; in
the other lake almost never in winter.
though in its open summer waters
bass fishing is the better Remember
ing that the bass are supposed to III
bernate and in fairly deep waters,
would not that fact argue in the late
season darker outward hues and deep
er bronZes? Yet the head of a large
bass hatchery has observed n silvery
change of the bass at the approach of
winter when his habit and habitat
would imply the exact reverse. Such
are few of the anatomical enigmas
of the black bass that make him and
his paradoxes an interesting study for
that open minded angler who blends
the naturalist with the sportsman
