have never seen the moth ; so here is something for 

 the woodland explorer. And how have the caterpillars 

 learned to repair their houses if in nature their 

 houses are never broken? 



But we must start another story, for the tale of the 

 insect world we could never finish. We can only add : 

 look for the little folk on flowers and trees, on land 

 and in water, and they will tell their own tanglewood 

 tales. 



THE FISH 



On those also, a whole book might be written, but 

 we can only group a few interesting facts about them 

 here. 



The most desirable fish for the disciples of Isaac 

 Walton is the brook trout found in many cool, springy 

 streams and in a few of the northerji lakes. 



Some of the lakes along the International Boundary, 

 like Gunflint Lake, North Lake and South Lake, con- 

 tain large lake trout, some reaching a weight of fif- 

 teen pounds and more. 



Lake of the Woods used to harbor very large stur- 

 geon weighing over a hundred pounds and a few are 

 still caught. 



The most generally distributed fish is the pickerel, 

 which is found in waters draining to the Mississippi, 

 Lake Superior and Hudson Bay. 



A few lakes contain the fighting muscalonge ; while 

 such fine game fish as black bass, pike and crappie 

 are very generally distributed. One or more excellent 

 game fish are abundant in almost every lake; and tho 

 man who likes to go out with hook and line finds, 

 no better fishing grounds in all the world.
