DOES A FISH KNOW PAIN:
Experienced Angler Says the Finny
Tribe Does Not Suffer

Tribe Does Not Suffer.
Whether fish suffer pains from
wounds is a question much dis
cussed among angles. am con-
vinced that they do not, says a
writer in The Kansas City Times.
My opinion is based on many
facts, like this which have re-
lated. | once lost two hooks in
succession, fishing with bait in a
deep hole, under closely hanging
bushes, where / could not use a
fly. Finding that my smells were
not be trusted, | knotted a hook
on the line, tried the third time
and landed a fine trout from whose
mouth | took the two hooks which
| had lost. l once took a small trout
on a fly, who rose sharply and
struck with vigor, whose side had
within few hours been so badly
torn by another fish, or by a hook,
that the skin was gone from the
belly of the dorsal fin a full inch
wide, leaving the red flesh expos
ed. l had seen a skatee weighing
more than fifty pounds, caught on
a bait hook in Fishers Island
sound, drawn up to the side of boat,
and his throat cut across with a
cash intended to be and supposed
to be sufficiently deep to kill him.
The same skate was caught and
in thirty minutes afterward In
stances might be multiplied from
my own experiences. Other an
glers could furnish many more.
From such conversations | have be-
come convinced that wounds do not
give to fish that sensatio which we
call pain.
The angler who has hooked a
fish with bait and lost him should
not hesitate to throw again into
the same spot; for, unless the fish
has been frightened by seeing the
fisherman, he will take the bait
as readily the second time, and
often with more vigor as if angry
at it having escaped him. This is
especially true of pike and picker
el. l once took a pike in Glen
Falloch, at the head of Loeb Lo-
mond, who struck spoon
four times before | landed him,
and each time was badly torn by
the hooks
But on the other hand it is gem
orally true that if a trout is
pricked by a fly hook he will not
rise to it again. This is perhaps
owing to the fact that he has
found no taste of flesh on the
hook. In one single instance in
my experience | have known an eX-
ception to this rule. Coasting on
lake in the Franconia mountains,
| pricked him badly. The water
was clear and | saw him rush off, ,,
torn, and as my fly again fell in
the same spot, go at it with a
fierce dart, and / landed him.
speak, of course, of trout as
have known them.

passengers, a steward and three col

ly yesterday by the revenue cutter
1amacraw, which left the captain
and crew of 43 men on board. Two
fishermen have been reported to
have been burned to death and
third terribly scalded. First Officer
Chamberlain sustained a fracture on
his right shoulder. The steamship
has her nose imbeded in quicksand
off Hunting Island, at the mouth of
the Edisto river, and it is said that
she will be a total loss.
The Lexington was bound from
Savannah to Philadelphia, with II
passengers, all of whom were res
cued. For "A hours the steamship
battled desperately against the hur-
ricane, finally being driven aground,
where the tremendous waves smash
ed violently against her and where
the powerful wind tossed her about
in the mud. Three times she was
covered with water, the pumps eX-

average had increased to eighteen

The average for the country is
twenty-siX bushels. Last year Jer-
