0. H. K., Arlington, Md.— We have referred your communica- 

 tion to the Pcako's Island Club, Feake'a Island, Maine, who are 

 looking for wild pigeons. 



T. M. C— The scores In snipo shooting have related to shots 

 while the birds were on the wing. Tour account of shooting 

 birds on the ground would hardly be appropriate in that connec- 

 tion. 



"W. E. M., Poughkeepsie, N. T.— For full information about the 

 route and cost ol Maine trip, sec in our issue of Feb. 20th, 1880, 

 "Parmaohenee and the Kangcley Circuit." It covers the ground 

 completely. 



P. H. McE., North Platte, Neb.— Wo do not understand that 

 there is any difference in the present methods of manufacture 

 from the old methods, and we fail to sec how the same process 

 can produce the different results named. 



A. P. T., Belaire, Ohio.— The lessee of the Laval is Hon. D. E. 

 Price, Quebec. The open season for sea, or striped, bass (fluents 

 linmivjfi iu Nova Scotia and New Brunswick is Aug. 1st to April 

 1st, for nets; angling with hook and line allowable at all times. 



S., Menominee, Mich-Can you furnish mc the address of two 

 or more parties from whom I can probably get specimens i of 

 Rocky Mountain lion, moose, and elk heads and horns, etc., for 

 mounting? Ans. Write to J. Wallace, 10 North "William street, 

 New York. 



G. E. J., New York.— One of the makers of your stun was a 

 clerk of Spies. The gun is very likely one of choap Birmingham 



make, but the fact that, the barrels are soft is nothing against ft. 

 Soft Parrels belong to the best of guns ; even lamiuated steel may 

 bu out with a sharp knife. 



W. O. C, Boston, Mass.— Apply twice a day the following oint- 

 ment, with plentylof friction : Powdered bicarbonate of potash, 

 one ounce: powdered white vitriol, one-quarter ounce: sub-sul- 

 phur, two ounces: lard, eight ounces. Mix and rub well into the 

 skin. Contiuue the Fowler solution of arsenic, five drops twice a 

 day with dog's food. Send your name and address in full. 



.1. K. H., New York.— Paul Mead's Dash was out of a red Irish 

 setter hitch owned by Mr. A. Johnson. She was sent to Albany, 

 N. Y., and warded by a red Irish setter from Ireland, the owner 

 being on a tour to this country. Mr. Johnson paid $25 for the 

 set: ires of ( he dog, Bed Dash being one of that litter. Mr. F. II. 

 Palmer's red Irish bitch Belle had no puppies when sent hero. 

 She came from Dublin. 



T. B.— Do black bass ever become lousy V If so, do they ever 

 have a fungoid growth all, or nearly all, through t heir flesh ? The 

 growth that is the "fungoid" resembles what a miner would call 

 a moss agate. I have a bass containing just such as I have de- 

 scribed. I will make you some microscopic slides and send them 

 down . Ans. All fresh water fishes have fungoid growths on in- 

 jured parts, and are subject to parasites. 



J. H. M., Poughkeepsie, N. V— As a subscriber to your valuable 

 journal I would like to know how f o' can fish and game. After a 

 trip up in the mountains I would like to bring back as much as 

 possible of what has been caught and killed. Ans. You cannot 

 can fish or meats without expensive machinery. You may bring 

 them back in brine or dry-salted) or, if not to be kept over a fow 

 days, a mixture of pepper and brown sugar is good. Clean the 

 fish and rub this well aloug the backbone. 



IT.\t, Baltimore.— 1. What hat do you consider the best for pro- 

 tection against the sun when fishing or otherwise exposed to it ; 

 is not the cork hat very good? 2. Do trout take the fly iu West 

 Virginia about July 1st ? 3. What is the best thing to protect you 

 from the flies J Ans. 1. The cork hat is good ; so is a well venti- 

 lated felt hat, with cabbage or other largo leaves in the top. 2. 

 Yes. 3. Oil of pennyroyal is.used ; also preparations of tar, which 

 are abouL as bad as the flies. Perhaps a fly net or "bee bonnet" is 

 as good as liny. 



E. M., Now York.— Can you tell me of.'any retired lakes in the 

 southern part of Canada, where I can get good black bass Ashing 

 —like Charleston Lake, for instance ? How can they be reached ? 

 Ans. There are lakes in York, Cardwell and Ontario counties. 

 Go to Toronto and take rail north or northwest for these. You 

 can hardly miss black bass in any Canadian lakes. Charleston 

 Lake is eighteen miles from Broekville, and north of that is a 

 chain of lakes which are little frequented, and on some of which 

 it is said, an angler nevor wet a line. 



S. P. G., Savannah— Strictly, the manner of measuring should, 

 be regulated by the rules you have agreed to sail under. If those 

 rules do not cover the case in question, the matter must be refer- 

 red to the club or ruling authorities for decision, as the meas- 

 urer has no right to give the rules his personal interpretation, 

 unless authority to that effectbas been specially delegated to him, 

 but must act simply in a ministerial capacity. On broad grounds 

 the measurement on deck should be taken wit bout, reference to 

 the protruding of tho water line at either end, as long as the 

 water line is also measured and the mean length used, but if only 

 over all length is used, then the greatest length should be taken 

 wherever found. 



G. H. T— Wo assume that by 30-inch level you mean the pitch 

 of the screw. Then with 450 turns, and say 20 per cent, slip, your 

 launch should make 10.24 miles— instead, you say she makes only 

 eight. This may be due to faulty propeller, inadequate model 

 for higher speed, or to both. The latter is most likely the case, 

 as your boat of 35x7* is rather short and wide for speed. You also 

 turn up too fast ; and a larger wheel and fewer turns would serve 

 better. As you do not wish to increase the draft, experiments 

 with various wheels would probably result in a gain, but cannot 

 recommend any special wheel. Tho usual one for a 35ft. launch 

 would be 32x48 or thereabouts, from which we judge your wheel 

 churns the water too much and has not effective surface enough. 

 The Herreshoffs have a good epoed wheel ; apply to them. 



W.S. C— Will you inform me through your valuable paper 



what you would call the loll,, winy- fish! Some parties claim li to 

 be a brook t runt ami others to lie a salniofl trout, it was caught 

 the other morning about 1 o'clock by a young man while fishing 

 forlnililieads.it the entrance of the nutlet to our Lake " Chau- 

 tauqua." The lake was stocked some the nr six years ago with 

 salmon trout, but. front what I can understand, they were de- 

 stroyed by the pickerel, which predominate. The following are 

 the dimensions : Weight, 11 pounds; length, 14 inches; width, n;- 

 inches; circumference, 8+ inches; mil, nil straight; lias 

 pink, edges of same black; dorsal flu mottled with black; 

 measures across the thickest part of the back,!} inches; pearl 

 colored line through center of side from head to tail ; breadth of 

 tall, 2j inches, same color as back tin ; color of belly golden ; color 

 of eyes : center black, iris yellow. Spots on side, carmine mixed 

 with light pearl. Head shaped something like a shad, only larger 

 mouth. Large number of leeth. Aus. Color is not to be depended 

 upon in fish. The lake trout or "salmon trout " is not red spot- 

 ted. It may be a brook trout, unless its head is too much "like a 

 shad." 



Capt. Wilcox's Blueflsh Story.— C'apt. Wilcox, of a 

 Mystic menhaden fishing tug, says that last week when 

 he was off the south shore of Long Island in company 

 with throe schooners, they ran across the largest school 

 of blueflsh he or any of the crews had ever seen. On 

 board of the tug was a bran new $300 seine, very 

 strong and capacious. It was let out, and tho tug 

 started with it around tho school. As the folds of the 

 seine swept steadily together, the water boiled with the 

 violent motion of the imprisoned fish, Fifty thousand 

 blueflsh were loaded on the decks of the three schoon- 

 ers and the tug. The fish weighed from two to sis 

 pounds apiece and loaded down the four vessels. But 

 the beautiful net was an utter ruin. There was not a 

 mesh left that was not chewed into small strings. It 

 was a dead loss, and was thrown awpy. The fisher- 

 men say that where one fish was caught ten or more 

 made their escape. 



Literally Led into Captivity.— The learned author 

 of the "Descent of Man," in noticing that the animals 

 often suffer from the diseases that afflict ourselves, might 

 have added that in some cases they are not free from 

 our vices also, According to a recent letter from Darfur, 

 in Africa, the monkeys of that region are inordinately 

 fond of a kind of beer made by the natives, who use the 

 beverage to capture their siuiial poor relations. Having 

 placed quantities of the beer where the monkeys can get 

 at it, the natives wait until their victims are in various 

 degrees of inebriation, and when they then mingle with 

 them the poor creatures are too much fuddled to recog- 

 nize the differences between negro and ape. When the 

 negro takes the hand of one of them to lead him off, some 

 other fond creature clings to tho hand of the latter one, 

 another to his hand, and thus a single negro may some- 

 times be seen carrying off a string of staggering monkeys. 

 .When secured, the beer is administered in decreasing 

 quantities, so that they may only gradually awaken to 

 tho sad result of their spree. — Boston Herald. 



Escaped Sea-Lions.— Eight 



soa-lions, which had been 



confined in a crib at the Brigh 



ton Beach Aottarium, En- 



gernans Pier, Coney Island, e. 



eaped into the ocean last 



Friday evening, and at once 



iisappeared for parts un- 



known. Three mammoth sri 



ipping turtles went with 



them. The largest of the soadi. 



:is was known as "Bill;'* 



he was about 6ft. Sin, in I 



, and his mate, "Fanny, * 



was almost as large. There \ 



ere also, beside the fonv 



other medium sized specimens 



tvvo -bnby sea-lions. The 



proprietor estimated the loss 



at $"5,000. No insurance. 



Much trepidation was man if.es 



ed among the bathers at 



Coney Island when it became 1 



mown that the lions were 



at large. The fear was, how 



ner, entirely groundless. 



These amphibians arc formid 



able only in name, and 



would not molest a human k 



g, unless they mistook it 



for i g od fat herring, 



tn, the owner of the lions, 



offered a reward of $50 each fo 



r their return.
