invention does away entirely with seining, and the disagreeable 

 necessity of wading in the water. The pole or stick upon which 

 the trap is hung may be made of any desired length, and jointed, 

 thus permitting the entire apparatus to be packed in a small 

 space." 



Malcolm A. Shipley, Philadelphia, 



furnishes a folding net, much like one 



I have frequently used. It is a very 



convenient article, occupying but 



small space when folded. When 



ready- for use it is about three feet 



square. 



The glass minnow trap patented and sold by Charles F. 

 Orvis, has been on the market for 

 many years, and has proved a great 

 success. It is constructed of heavy 

 flint glass, about twelve by twenty- 

 four inches. It is lowered into the 

 water, and some bread crumbs placed 



inside. The cord by which it is lowered should be buoyed, 



if the angler is to remain away very long. 



The galvanized wire trap furnished by Wm. Mills & 



Son, is another in- 

 genious device. It is 



to be lowered into 



the water and baited, 



the minnows having 



access at either end. 



The two halves nest 



together, so that with 



a common water pail it can be utilized as a minnow-bucket. 



It is, when set up, about nine by twenty inches.
