ABOUT FISH. .

Most fish have an. argans called the lateral line," extending along both sides from head to- tail, which enables them to sense with the greatest delicacy. the tiny, vibrations like echoes; which. are set up. in tae by different objects. This enables chem to sense the presense of the average hook line and sinker.
 A writer in l Scientific American explains this special sense in fish -and tells. how to fool them by using special tackle that does not create the tiny echoes. In. experiments, blinded fish easily were able to sense the most stealthy approach of tiny object moved by hand
 Observations made by scientists prove that most fishes have a sense that human beings lack, known 4s tacting sense or the touch, ing sense, and this sense enables them to feel the, presence of the avefage hook and line to avoid it.
 Fishermen who merely put them selves in the place of the ftss1, and assume the fish to react as they temselves would if they were con fronted with a bai'3nd hook, are no. likely to meet with as great a sue cess as those w4ho make stadv. sf the special touchy sense which fish possess.
