C. Y, H„ Chad wick.— Is there an attachment for the wheel of a 

 naphtha launch to prevent the grass from entangling around it? 

 Please answer in your next issue. Ans,— A great many experi- 

 ments have been made to get something to serve the purpose, but 

 without success. So far as we have been able to ascertain there is 

 nothing that will do the work successfully. 



C. W. H. Wellsboro, Pa.— Can you give me a recipe for (lyeing 

 gut for leiiders lead color? Ans. — The favorite "mist" color is 

 produced in gat in two very different ways. The old way is to 

 imtnerse the gut for several mintites in a stain made by boiling a 

 drachm of ground logwood and 6gr. of copperas in a pint and a 

 half of water. This is considered objectionable by many anglers. 

 A simpler plan is to use Arnold's writing fluid or French writing 

 ink diluted with an equal quantity of cold water for the stain. 

 By changing the proportions of ink and water almost any tint 

 from greenish blue to dark brown can be produced. 



N. T. L , New York.— Where, and from whom, can I get some 

 small-mouth and large-mouth black bass? I am desirious of stock- 

 ing a pond which I think suitable for this purpo.se. with these tish. 

 Would also like to know about wall-eyed pike. An?. Hugo 

 Mulertt, Brooklyn, N. Y., advertises black bass for sale at 25 

 cents each and special rates for large numbers. He may be able 

 to furnish wall-eyed pike also. This ful', known also as pike perch 

 and Susquehanna salmon, is a valuable kind, but is not considered 

 suitable for small ponds, it is better adapted to lakes and large 

 riverp. The Sufquehanna and the Delaware have been well 

 stocked with the fish. In the upper Connecticut a specimen 

 weighing 11 J^lbs. was taken, while spawning, in April. The pike 

 perch grows to the weight of 401bs. As a food and game fish it has 

 tew superiors.
