QUEER WAYS on FISHING.

The Eskimoss and Others insthe cold
Northland enjoy fishing by cutting
holes in the. ice; even when it is 2 feet
thick, use light-colored bait with
heavy sinkers through this 12-inch
wide hole. Or they use spears with
long ropes attached. The latest freak
in fishing was when big salmon was
found frozen in ice. The block was
thawed out in hot-water, the tishsg get
ting alive but was soon dispatched and
helped to make a feast for the crowd.
