BOOK of the BLACK BASS 
By JAMES A. HENSHALL, M. D. 
410 Illuitratione. Net $2.75 This new edition is revised to date 
and largely re-written. Contains 
"Book of the Black Bass’’ and “More 
About the Black Bass.” Comprising 
its complete scientific and life history, 
together with a practical treatise on 
Angling and Fly-Fishing, with a full 
account of tools, implements, and 
tackle. 
“The angling portion of the book is, 
without doubt, the best thing ever 
written upon these fishes. It is clear, 
and covers the whole ground of the 
different modes of fishing, and is ac- 
companied by cuts of the manner of 
holding the rod, castings, and diagrams 
of the mode of throwing the fly so 
that it seems to us as if the merest 
tyro could soon become an expert by 
carefully reading this book and fol- 
lowing its instructions. Not only is 
it a book for the beginner, but it is 
one that no angler can afford to do 
without. — Forest and Stream.

“Kinks” is full of good stuff — ideas furnished by true 
sportsmen. There are helpful hints for hunters, hikers, 
campers, fishermen and vacationists — new ways of saving 
time and money — simple stunts that every man ought to 
think out for himself — but doesn’t. It tells how to fix up 
emergency “rigs” when the “store stuff” fails or is left 
behind. And almost every “Kink” is illustrated so plainly 
that every picture makes your fingers fairly itch to try 
the stunt yourself.

together with a full year’s subscription to

With the black bass, as with ail other 
.species of the finny tribe, the care of the 
eggs and the fostering of the young de- 
volves upon the male parent; after the 
female emits the eggs the subsequent 
proceedings interest her no more. The 
male parent watches over the eggs until 
hatched, and protects the young fry 
until they leave the nest. In the case 
of most marine fishes and many fresh 
water .species, notably the salmon and 
trout, their eggs are abandoned by both 
parents as soon as emitted and fertilized. 
The various ways and means of some 
fishes in caring for and fostering their 
eggs and young are both curious and in- 
teresting. The male parent of a Gulf 
catfish, of a South American fish, and 
of one in Palestine, carries the eggs in 
his mouth until hatched. The males of 
the grotesque Hippocampus, or sea-horse, 
and of an allied species, the pipefish, en- 
close the eggs in flaps of skin, like a 
vest, where they are carried until 
hatched. The lumpfish, a queer marine 
.species, watches over the eggs until they 
are hatched, when the young attach 
themselves to his body by their suckers, 
and thus, weighted down by his respon- 
sibilities, he carries them around until 
they are old enough to shift for them- 
selves. 
History is silent as to the custom of 
other denizens of the deep, a,s water 
nymphs, mermaids and water sprites of 
the mythological age in this matter. 
Whether Amphitrite, Galatea or Thetis 
rocked their water babies in the cradle 
of the deep, or shifted their maternal 
cares and duties of motherhood to their 
paternal proxies, the demi-gods of land 
and seas, deponent sayeth not. But this 
we do know, however, that some of their 
terrestrial sisters in this year of the 
Lord commit their newly-born babes to 
the tender mercies of vicarious nurses, 
wet or dry.

ity and this with its small size renders 
it a difficult mark on the wing. Some- 
times and in certain localities it decoys 
well, and at other times or on other 
grounds it flatly refuses to come to the 
counterfeits. 
One fall on the bay four buffle-heads 
passed me as I stood concealed in the 
tall reeds by the water’s edge. The lit- 
tle ducks were flying parallel with the 
shore, about thirty yards from it and 
about ten feet above the water, all in a 
straight line, one bird directly behind the 
other. The leader and the second duck 
in line were very close together, the 
third and fourth birds at about four feet 
intervals. I planned to get three of 
them with my two shots, bagging the 
leader and the second duck with the 
first shot and the third bird in line with 
the second barrel. 
They were flying very rapidly and as 
they drew abreast of my position I 
swung my gun well ahead of the leader 
and fired twice in quick succession. You 
can imagine my surprise when the last
