PRIMITIVE HOOKS.

What sort OF hooks did or ancestors.
our really remote ancestors use "when
wild in wood the noble savage rang"
Some people are inclined to agree with
the American view that the earliest type
of hook. if hook it can be called. was
n straight bit of flint buried in the
bait. When the fish had swallowed the
bit of meat, or whatever the bait was.
the tightening of the line pulled the
dint across its throat. and rs it stuck
there the fish could be hauled ashore
without more ado. Perhaps some bright
innovator OF that misty past one day
tried a bait OF flint which had double
curve like pair ol buffalo horns and
found il effective and perhaps out of
that developed the genuine double hook.
which seems TO have been a very early
form. And perhaps the single hook came
into being because it was realized that
one bend was as efficient as two for
most purposes
