FOREST AND STREAM. 



[DK0BMBltE2, 1880. 



cHif back files. Article by Com. Chase in nnlnber for Aug. 7, 1879. 



B. C. — Best plan to renew yotir Cape Ann suit is to give one or 

 tsro coats of broiled Unseed oil w-ith a little beeswax disaolvod in it, 

 if the thread of the cloth is still worth it. 



8. N. J., I'hiladelphia.— We know of no one having ench a gnn 

 for Bale, you will perhaps find it by making your wants known to 

 gnndealera, or by advertisin>,' in this paper. 



- .T. B. L., Lockhavon. Your d«cl( may perhaiw be a wood duck, 

 but as you do not dccicribe it wc cannot tell with any de^jrce of cer- 

 tainty. It is not, however, a goosander, tliat is (.-ertam. Write 

 more full particulars. 



H. A. G., Utica, N. Y.-l. What is the Moientilic name of the 

 Hueflshy 2. What is the scientifio name of the fish caught along 

 the coast mth hook and line, generally called snappers and snap- 

 ping mackerel and sometimes yoimg bluelish ? AuB. 1. Pomato- 

 mui: saltatrix. 2. They are the young of the bluefiBh. 



D. L. T.— All large yacht clubs publish an annual pamphlet giv- 

 ing names of members, yachts of the squadron, constitution, by- 

 laws, etc. , for private circulation among the members only. Yon 

 may obtain a copy through the courtesy of the secretary possibly, 

 by addressing him at the club rooms, Madison aveinie and Twenty- 

 seventh street. New York. 



"j. McN. — The waterproofing process you refer to is probably the 

 following : Dissolve paraflino in naphtha or benzine and soak the 

 garments thoroughly, letting them dry slowly. Another recipe is : 

 Half pound sugar of lead and half pound powdered alum dissolved 

 in bucket of rain water ; pour off into another vessel and steep the 

 garments. Hang up to dry without wringing. 



Sail Boat.— We do not like to discourage any invention. The 

 one you speak of will be hard to place on the market. It seems, as 

 far as we know, more suitable to models than to large yachts. You 

 can address the inventor through us. Only actual experience can 

 demonstrate the extent to which it can He appUed with success, and 

 that experience we have not had. 



V. A. N. — The dimensioas 32x8x3 will make a good boat of the 

 Sharpie style. A little more beam would make her safer. She will 

 do very well for Mississippi and Floi'ida waters. The chief danger is 

 lier great liability to capsize, and if green linnds are to accompany 

 you keep your eyes open in bad weather. A kuel with iron on it 

 would make her safe, but would not suit for exploring shallow and 

 unknown waters. An iron oentrebord would help you much. Wo 

 counsel gja'ft. beam. Mr. Clapham makes a specialty of such boats. 

 See his card. The drawings of the Newport catboat were published 

 before om- advent and we cannot vouch for them. All three plans 

 ought to coincide. 



Florida.— Twi". Lakes, Orange Coimli/, i\'oo. 17.--"Florida,' 

 in your issue of the 11th, wants to know what are the prospects of 

 a yoimg man going to Florida to engage in the orange busiuessy 

 AliS. It depends mostly on the man and depth of pocket. 2. What 

 part of the State is best adapted to the business for healthfulness 

 and profit y Ans. Elevated pineland for the first, almost any- 

 where south of danger of frost or freene. For quickest profit got
