BED OF SEINE VISIBLE.
River Which Overlooked Last Year
Apparently Drying Up.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star


PARIS. September "a 1911.
Contrary to last years freak, when the
Seine threatened to engulf the city, the
famous river has now gone down SO low
as to seem OH the point of drying up al
together. Will it come to this?t When
one looks at the plates recently affixed
on the walls and the ends of the piers to
mark the maximum level of last years
food, and compares it with the present
level of the water. the difference is al
most incredible. The bed of the river
can be clearly seen, even through the
muddy water. The boats move along
with apparent difficulty. their propellers
chlIrning in the mud. Wooden piles and
bits of crumbled walls can be seen that
once formed parts OF dams, or prepare
tory works emerge out of the water.
If the river should dry up in Paris it
would mean a new disaster. and it is not
altogether impossible. There have scarce
liz been twelve days OF rain in the past
six months. and even the flood reservoirs
of last year must soon be exhausted.
However. the Marine still continues to
supply slight contingent. and the dis
aster will most likely. be averted.

This is the season of the year when
the big ones should be running; not the
big horses on the race tracks, but the big
black bass. and reports from all sections
where the water has been in condition
the last two weeks indicate that seductive
bait stopped the running of many OF
them.
Following the long spell of muddy water
John w. Hurley says there has been a
fisherman on the river for almost every
bass there is in the water.
But he added. it's not every man
who goes on the river that can catch
them. There's an art about the catching
of them and scores of fishermen have not
mastered it."
Most Of the more experienced anglers
have been on the river recently or are
making preparations to go. 1t is said by
the anglers that more big fish are being
caught this fall than usual, although bait
has not been quite so plentiful recently
and the anglers were greatly incOnveni-
enced.

demand. Smelt also have been in demand
since the change In the weather made II
possible to take them to up-river points
without losing them.
Nothing short of muddy water or eX-
tremely bad weather will keep the an
glers at home tomorrow. Orders for bait
boats and boatmen already have been
placed by many of the sportsmen and at
tractfve bait will be so numerous in the
water that only the lucky bass will be
able to escape capture.
Rockfish are furnishing local anglers
fine sport. plymouth bass and Missis-
sippi catfish also are being caught near
the city. The many boats seen OH the
river in the vicinity OF Analostan Island
day after day are occupied by anglers
looking for rock and bass.
When YOU see the boats remaining at
anchor as they are now" remarked an
angler on the .tqueduct bridge day be-
fore yesterday, You may rest assured
there's something doing.
And there was something doing Every
few minutes one OF the anglers, and they
were numerous, would take from the
river bright-striped rockfish or a bass
The rockfish that are being caught are
not very large, anglers say. but they are
good pan fish. while the bass, although
not SO numerous. are larger, but both
show fight when hooked and furnish the
fishermen good sport.
In Little river, between Analostan Is
land and the Virginia shore, yellow perch
fishing is good. The fish are large enough
to make it worth while to catch them.
There has been a marked Improvement
in fishing conditions along the Eastern
branch and AnacOstia river during tho
