Auswers to Correspondents, 
ks" No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 
T, E. D., Hollidaysburg, Pa.—The rifle named will suit admirably, 
J, U. §., New York.—What is the best book on amateur fly making? 
Ans. “The American Angler’s Book,’’ by Thad. Norris. 
Y. 5. C.—Will the large fresh-water sunfish take the fly, and if so 
What kind? Ans. Yes, they will take almost any fly, but we think 
that they rise best to the red ibis. 
SNow Goose, Missoula, Montana.—The bird you describe is the coot 
vent blur as much as peestts while sighting? 2. Is the work entitled 
“Hints to Riflemen” old or one of recent publication? Ans. 1. Smoke 
it. 2. Been published some time, but a valuable book. 
TaBBy, Detroit, Mich.—We printed the story about the bear, the 
cubs, and the man in the hollow tree some years ago, and one of our 
correspondents reported haying read it fifty years ago in the school 
books. If you will send us your proper address, we will send you 
story, which, it appears from your account, is still being told about 
the winter fires of country stores, 
W. C. T.. Bethel, Me.—I have a rifle with knife-blade muzzle sight 
and cloverleaf rear sight at present on it. With the cloyerleaf down 
to lowest notch in scale it will carry too high at any distance less than 
150 yards. What shall I do to the sights to haye them right at lowest 
notch for any distance under 100 yds? It is a .40-65-265 rifle, with very 
flat trajectory. Ans. A locksmith will lower the sights; or hold a 
little low. i 
decide upon species. The grayling has an exceedingly large dorsal 
fin of eighteen to twenty-two rays. It isin season in Michigan from 
June 1 to November 1. ‘It is a fish that spawns in late winter or early 
spring. 
O. C., Woonsoeket, R. I.—Can you tell me who owns or has charge 
of the land around the Rangeley Lakes? Ans. It is a big country and 
the land is owned by many different owners. 
A Bs eS chord peryades the nature of Charles Fisher; 
a reputable citizen of South Baltimore, which, strange to say, 
entangled him in the meshes of the law at the Southern police 
station yesterday. Mr. Fisher, according to the testimony 
produced at the hearing, sauntered out for a stroll along the 
banks of the Spring Gardens a day or two ago. His gaze from 
R. R., Hamilton, Ont.—The sketch of the fish caught in the weir at | the ground was suddenly riveted on asmall pen from which 
St. John, N. B., is clear enough to enable us to recognize it as one of 
the sauries, Scomber esoa, one species of which is common to our 
coast and one to California, Itis probably the eastern form, S. saurus, 
and is called in different parts saury, skipper and bill fish, according 
to Jordan. It differs from the gars, Belone (Tylosurus) in haying 
small finlets behind the dorsal fin. 
G. H, J., Lancaster, Mass,—1. How can I best obtain information of 
the value, kind of land, etc., near the town of Albion, Fla.? 2. If a 
person used to the climate could go and settle there: haying 100 
acres, how could it be used to the advantage of a person who has 
never seen it, but who does not want tosellit? Ans, 1. Secure some 
competent person to go and look atit. 2. If the land is suitable for 
oranges, it might be improved on shares; but in this case yery great 
caution must be used to secure a good partner. 
J. H., Port Hammond, British Columbia.—i. What is the best oil 
I can use to keep my gun from rusting? 2. We have a fish in our 
the hideous but appealing howls of a dog issued. An examina- 
tion of the structure revealed the nose of a cur protruding 
between two bars and scenting his rescuer from afar. The 
sympathetic chord which pervades the breast of Mr. Fisher 
was touched as it had never been touched before. He 
removed the bar, and the imprisoned cur bounded out. A 
second later a brother followed, and for the next five minutes 
Mr. Fisher says that dogs of all kinds, from the ugly cur to 
the fondled pug bounced out of that hole. The liberator was 
astounded at the contents of that pen, and still more so when 
he was informed, after the canines had escaped, that he had 
set loose the twenty-four dogs for the capture of which the 
city had paid $6. Keeper Hamlin’s anger arose and fell 
alternately as he thought of the irreparable injury which had 
or mudhen (fulica americana), a bird of the rail family, found almost 
‘everywhere throughout the United States. 
Inquirer, Machias, Me.—1. By what method can the common open 
Y-sight (back sight) of a rifle be colored or made dark, so as to pre 
trout rivers but it won’t take a fly. Some call it a chub and some a 
grayling. [have caught them with a grasshopper for bait. Small 
scales, very dark on back, Is the grayling in season now or in the 
winter? Ans. 1. Use vaseline. 2. 
been done. He finally got out a warrant for Fisher’s arrest, 
on the charge of destroying property of the dog pound to the 
value of $1.50. Justice Talbott dismissed the case.—Baltimore

Patent “Perfect” Brass Shells, 
MANUFACTURED BY 
KYNOCH & CO., Birmingham, Eng. 
These shells are made of extra fine thin pliable metal, with reinforced base; are adapted to either 
Winchester or Wesson No.2 primers. Can be reloaded as often as any of the thicker makes. Cost 
only about half as much. Weight less than paper shells. _ They shoot stronger and closer, and admit 
of a heavier charge, as owing to the thin metal, inside diameteris nearly two gauges larger. Load 
same as any brass shells, using wads say two sizes larger than gauge of shells. Or can be effectually 
crimped with tool and straighten out to original shape when discharged. The crimping tool also 
acts as a reducer, an advantage which will be appreciated by all experienced sportsmen. Sample 
shells will be mailed (without charge) to any sportsmen’s club or dealer, and prices quoted to the trade 
only. For sale in any quantity by gun dealers generally, or shells in case lots only, (2,000), and crimpers
