Vacation Reading.

So-called vacation reading covers a
multitude of sins, the sins of inanity
and triyia1ity. AS a matter of fact,
most persons read little while on va
cation. When they reach the point
where they require hammock fiction, It
is probably time for them to get back
to work. You can read enough at
other times but it is sighting the
great book of nature, spread before you
in some place of summer amplitude, to
bury your nose between two leaves of
printed paper.
IF you would not be up and doing
every hour of your vacation, take Il
daily nap. Try the experiment of
thinking. try the delights of reverie
where your mind sails along like the
summer clouds. Cultivate the people
around you-the other boarders, if it is
a boarding place. the farmers and vii
layers. Cultivate the acquaintance ii
the domestic animals.
Summer reading? Yes, but not mere
mental dope" to occupy a mind thai
ought not to be empty. Take along a
few books that bear upon the open
air life you ought to lead. Take al
elementary astronomy and locate tht
constellation in the crystal sphere" OF
the sky: study the lore of the two
evening stars. Jupiter and Venus. Ge
book on birds that you can carry II
your side pocket. or a book on trees
or a hook on summer botany.-Nev

LAKE FISH DYING.
PickereI Succumbing to Mysterious
Disease or to Poison Generated in
Lake Waters.

Many reports have come from Ban
tam lake to the effect that the fish
In its waters are dying of some mys-
ferrous ma1ady Or poison, says the
Torrington Register. The condition is
SO serious that all who are interested
in lake property feel anxious over the
prospect. 1t is said that not only
perch but also pickerel are dying and
dead fish are to be seen all along the
lake Shore
During the past few years an cpl
deTnic among the fish of the lake has
been noted at about this time eacn
summer. Large quantities of fish have
died, but the disease has heretofore
been limited to only one or two. spe-
cies. always including the yellow perch.
Previous to this year the pickerel has
not been affected. The breaking out
of the disease among the pickerel as
well as its increased prevalence among
the perch convince cOttagers and 9TH
ers that an investigation should be
made to discover the cause. Unless
something is done it is feared that the
fishing qualities of the lake will be
permanently ruined.
Bantam lake has for many years
enjoyed the reputation of being one
of the best fishing lakes in the state.
The lake has offered a variety of fish
ing. The game fish are black bass,
perch (both yellow and wllite) and
pickerel and a few years ago each of
these varieties was abundant. Only
within the last two or three years ha
there appeared evidence of scarcity OF
fish, although good strings have been
caught right along up to the present
time Complaints have been numerous
that the fish have not been biting a
they used to bite, and fishermen have
in some cases given up angling in the
lake.
It is believed that the disease now
having its grip on the fish has been
responsible for the present unfavor-
able fishing conditions. Many theories
have been advanced to account for the
death of the fish. There are some vino
believe that the decomposition of veg
etabIe after on the bottom of the lax;
has generated a poison fatal to this
fish while others believe that a dis
ease has fastened on the fisls a dseas;
probably brought to the lake by bait
fish from salt waters
