'1f you take . spadeful out It leaves a

That was the discourasing report from
tho Potomac early today. but tho cloud
was not without a silver lining. Clear
skies and reports from UP the valley
indicate that by Sunday the water will
be clear enough to enable the fish t.
sec a fat bloodworm wriggling on a
hook.
The Catches earlier In ths week gave
evidence that this is to be ono Of the
best white perch seasons that local
fishermen have had in three years. and
everybody that knows how to thread q
sinuous worm or a live minnow on a
hook Is anxious to get back to the fish
ing grounds. Local sporting goods
stores are doing q steady business in
tackle. and it looks bad for the nsh
census in local streams.
Having learned what a glorious thing
It II to have a really good fishing
ground within twenty-five or thirty
minutes ride Of home or officc, the
great rank and file Of American fisher
men are not going to allow conditions
In this country to become parallel to
those in Europe, where 1t takes a .egi-
ment Of horse to guard a fresh-water
fish long enough for 1t to attain a length
Of seven inches. Game laws in them
selves will not protect fish Or fowl.
They must be backed up by a strong
public sentiment, and the sentiment
against unsportsmanlike depopulation of
field or stream is growing stronger
OF tho country.
In about seven weeks We will again
have that peculiar condition in which II
will be proper to catch bass In Virginia,
but to do 30 in Maryland. few yards
Is because in Virginia and the District
Of Columbia the bass season opens May
81, while in Maryland 1t does not open
till fifteen days later. There isn't any
difference in the fish. It's Just a differ
ence in opinions OF the man wao made
the laws.

CURIOUS MEXICAN TREES.
One Whose Fruit Is the Counterpart Of
the Green Parrot

Mexico probably has n greater range
Of remarkable vegetation than any
other country in the world. The par
rot fruit tree produces an odd shaped
fruit. bearing close resemblance to
green parrakeets. When the parrakeet
Is frightened II makes 4 dash for the
parrot tree. where it assumes Il position
which makes it look like the fruit it
self. So close is the resemblance that
their enemies, the hawks, occasionally
fly by tree on which dozen or more
of these birds are sitting, apparently
unaware Of their presence.
Another remarkable tree is the ar
Dol de dinamite-dy namite tree-whose
fruit. If kept in a warm place. bursts
with considerable force and loud re-
port. scattering its fat seeds TO sur
prising distance.
One Of the most interesting fruits in
Mexico is known as the melon zapote,
or papaya. 1t contains considerable
pepsin. which reacts against both acid
and alkaline conditions of the stomach.
and it is said that n diet which in
cludes papaya precludes dyspepsia.
Both the fruit and the leaves possess
the singular property of rendering
tough meat tender. When the pulp of
the fruit is rubbed over piece OF
tough meat the juice attacks the fiber
and softens it-National Geographic
