THE BROKEN ROD. 135 



not only when fishing, bicycling, etc., but when indoors. 

 Plate XXV. shows these glasses when in use and also when 

 placed in perfect safety on the peak of the fishing cap. 



In this plate the patent arms are shown as riveted to 

 the ends of the arms of the spectacles, but the patent 

 arms can be purchased with self-attachments so that one 

 can be at once readily fixed to cap in any desired position, 

 and the other with equal ease fixed to any part of the 

 arms of an ordinary pair of spectacles in which case the 

 unnecessary ends of the arms of the spectacles between 

 such point and the ears should be filed off, and the spectacles 

 kept permanently on the cap. 



THE BROKEN ROD. 



The fisherman is likely at some time or other to 

 fracture or spring the upper or middle joint of his fishing 

 rod or some other portion of his kit. 



If he should happen to meet with this misfortune he 

 can with very little loss of time and without difficulty 

 repair the most serious fracture or injury. 



I keep a repair case in my fishing bag which I have 

 found to be most useful. It is a small cardboard box 

 which contains all that is necessary to make the adequate 

 repairs ; and it is small, compact, and handy, the contents 

 of which should not cost more than sixpence.
