large quantity Of flies he thought
the best way to dispose Of them
was to drown them in his pond.
Consequently, he dipped the trap
into the pond, but finding it would
be a slow process, he placed the
trap in the pond with a stone on
top to weight it down. About an
hour after, he went to take out
the trap, when he found about
200 fine perch caught in the trap.
The fish had gone in to feast on
the flies and were themselves
made captives. He repeated the
experiment with like results, and
is so well pleased with the double
utility of the trap, that he will
make a much larger one in order
to be able to catch so many more

emphatic denial of the report that, in

that he cannot be r~econciled to the
