DISMISS NOTED
FISHING CASE
Bodine Brothers Freed from Charge
Of Unlawful Fishing.
Arrested and Charged with Having Game
Fish in Their Pos
session.

The noted fishing case in
which Bodine Brothers of Hough-
ton were arrested and charged
with having game fish in their
possession, was suddenly ter
minated at Bayfield, on Monday
of this week when James Nevins,
state field officer for the Con-
servation Commission, asked
that the case against them be
nolled.
This case has been before the
courts for some time and was to
have been bitterly contested by
Bodine Brothers on the grounds
that they had not violated any
of the fish and game laws of the
state.
At the first trial the jury dis
agreed and the case was to have
come up for trial again on Mon
day. but was suddenly dismissed
The question involved in the
case was whether or not >Bodine
Brothers has caught game fish.
The game wardens claimed that
they did and Bodine Brothers
claimed that they did not.
Bodine Brothers. who are ex-
pert fishermen, claimed that the
fish which they had in their
possession We're steel head trout
and were not the rainbows as
was claimed by the game war
dens.
For years the fishermen oper-
ating around Chequamegon Bay
have been keeping this specie
and this is the first arrest for
violation of the law.
Under the authority granted
the State Conservation Com
mission by the Legislature the
Commission has the right to
prescribe a closed season for fish
or game at any time and the
Commission will soon issue an
edict prohibiting the netting or
offering for sale of any specie of
rainbow, German brown or
brook trout, as numbers of these
fish are netted with other fish
near the mouth of rivers and
creeks running into Chequame-
gon bay.

LIGHT or THE FREELY.
The Luminous Organ of the insect and
How Ii Operates.

The Luminous Organ of the insect and
How 1t Operates.
A study Of the luminescenee OF the
freely. and especially Of the chemical
elements involved, by #. Alex MeDer-
mott has brought forward several very
interesting points.
So far as is known, two constant
chemical factors, water and oxygen,
are necessary for the production of
light by living organisms. The third
necessary factor, the substance oxl
died. may be and probably is variable.
The luminous organ Of the FREELY
consists of two layers Of material un-
der the outer transparent covering.
The inner Of these two layers consists
mainly Of guanin, compound similar
to uric acid. and this probably serves
as a reflector. The outer layer con-
sists OF mass Of cells normally OF q
pale yellow color.
Both layers are penetrated by mnu-
merable minute tracheae (ducts), which
unite IN the interior Of the insect to
form larger passages and run together
in the outer layer Of yellow cells, form
ing a network somewhat resembling
the finer yelling of leaf.
1t is practically certain that IN life
these passages are filed with air. and
it seems probable that the photogenic
process is accompanied by the evolu-
ton Of carbon dioxide and the con-
sumption Of oxygen Of the air.-Brook
