THE IMPROVED ALUMINIUM FLY-BOX. 



Many a fly has been spoilt, by injury inflicted on the point cr 

 bnrb of the hook, while taking it out or putting it in a metal box 

 wlicn the mercury insists upon sinking below freezing point and the 

 state of the temperature benumbs the fingers. All this trouble has 

 been over-ruled by the practical accomplishment of a simple but in- 

 genious invention, light in weight and singularly suited to the 

 purpose.
