SOLVE BLACK BASS MYSTERY
Frogs Picked in Alcohol, Used for
Bait, Middle Fish and Make
Them Easy to Catch.

| The big black bass mystery has been
solved. 1t is now just as clear as the
water in Long pond. The problem has
been in the picked bait. All summer
persons who never caught fish before
in their lives have been bringing in
big strings Of black bass from Long
pond; on the other hand, experienced
fishermen have had poor luck, being
unable to land more than a two-pound
specimen, writes a Pleasant Lake
(Mass.) correspondent of the New
York Herald.
Further than this, fish have been
leaping out Of the water onto the
beach, turning somersaults and doing
other remarkable stunts which ordi,
nary fish are not supposed to do.
| 1t appears that a firm of clothiers
of Harwich Center carry a large as.
sortment Of fishing tackle as side
line. Their assortment, by the way,
includes everything from lead sinkers
five for a penny, to silver-plated reels
at So each.
| These clothiers also carry-listen
carefully-frogs' legs preserved in al
cOhol! And there has been a big de
Inand for this picked stuff for bait
according to Horace Atkins, one of the
clerks. The would-be sportsmen have
| bitten at it even better than the bass
| The bait comes in small glass jars
It is said that when a hook is cast
overheard baited with one of these del
| icate alcohol-soaked mOrsels the fish
bump each other in their mad effor
to get a bit.
And the sad part Of it is, all THU
time poor, experienced fishermen vi
n Long pond have been paying higl
| ,rices for iced live shrimp, minnows
''iCkets, grasshoppers and beetles
The picked frogs legs sell for abOu
IS cents a jar, while the other bal,
| rings a dollar or more a quart.

EVEN THE PREMIER is HIT
Only Allowed Six Gallons of Gasoline
Month by New Re-
strictions.

In England the private motorist is
no longer allowed to use gasoline free
ly. So much is needed for military
purposes that the new restrictions are
severe. High and low are being treat
ed alike, and it is,perhaps, some con-
ISOLATION to the ordinary motor car own
TT to know that the prime minister and
the speaker of the house of commons
are allowed only six gallons of petrol
month. Mr.. Lowther, the speaker, cam
not dream of motoring, as usual, to
Penrith, and Mr.. Asquith will be hard
put to it to run down to his Berk-
shire home for a weekend. Mr.. AS

An India Product,

The origin of the peacock was In
India and Ceylon, and this is why we
see so frequently the bird on the art
objects Of these countries. Peacock
shooting is still recognized sport in
some parts Of India, but its former
popularity as a table delicacy has
ceased, though the flesh Is white and
is said to resemble pheasant in
flavor. The eggs are also edible. For
the production Of the feathers these
birds are bred in France, but to q
small extent, as they are difficult to
rear, because in a big area they wan

limits they become mischievous.
