world over as a most comprehensive and 
authoritative treatment of the subject. This 
great work, published in two cloth bound vol- 
umes of more than 600 pages each, contains 
hundreds of illustrations and is invaluable to 
anyone interested in fish or fishing. It de- 
scribes the different species of fish in a man- 
ner that enables you to identify them. It tells 
of their life and habits: how, when and where 
different species are caught. . . . How fish 
breathe, smell, taste and talk. It treats on 
migratory fish, colors of fish, food value of fish, 
the mythology of fishes; mermaid, monkfish, 
bishop-fish, sea-serpents, etc. Its description of 
popular fishes includes trout, flounder, catfish, 
perch, bass, swordfish, eel, galing, blackfish,

“NEVER LEAK" 
Thebuilt-for-hard-knocks 
boot that sportsmen 
swear by — soft, easy-fit- 
ting and as near water- 
proof as a leather boot 
can be. 
No single achievement of my life ever 
gave me greater pleasure than catching 
this fish, and when I showed it on the 
streets that evening I felt so proud and 
self-conscious that I could not keep my 
face straight. For once I was the 
center of attraction, and had to stand 
sponsor for a number of questions, but 
some of the knowing ones who gathered 
about me, wisely shook their heads and 
would not believe a word I said to them. 
In spite of the doubting ones, however, 
it was the largest hook-caught fish that 
had ever been brought to town. It 
measured twenty-three and a half inches. 
SINKERS 
(continued from page 259) 
A FEW years ago, leads became 
rather an expensive proposition 
to me, as I really think that I was 
the champion back-lasher of the Jersey 
Coast. The ordinary pyramid or con- 
ical sinker seemed easily made, so I 
gave up the idea of purchasing them. 
A plumber friend of mine supplied all 
the lead I needed and I cast my own 
sinkers. I used a shallow box, about 
the siize of a cigar box, and filled it 
with plaster of Paris, moistened to a 
paste. 
For a model one may use the regular 
sinker nicely shaved so as to obtain 
smooth surfaces and sharp edges. Press 
this down to the head and make as many 
impressions as the box will hold. For 
the eyes one may use copper or brass 
wire, bent like an inverted “U” and 
suspended in the holes. Pour the lead in 
flush to the surface of the plaster and 
let cool. There is one thing to be re- 
membered — be sure the plaster of Paris 
is thoroughly dry before pouring the 
lead, otherwise there will be an explo- 
sion. 
For fresh water — sinkers galore; 
from the tiny split shot to the heavier 
weights for casting and bottom fishing. 
Ease of attachment or detachment, non- 
fouling and casting properties are 
looked to. For attaching, the adjusta- 
ble ringed sinker (15), with the split 
rings at the ends and the Rangeley 
sinkers (16), with the ends folding 
over the lines, are popular articles. 
For casting — the dipsey, the Cone 
sinker (17) (shaped like a tournament 
plug) , 'and the various round or egg- 
shaped weights, with holes running 
through them from end to end, are used'. 
For light weights — just enough to sink 
a line — the split shot of various sizes, 
sheet lead and coil or “Worm” sinkers 
(18) find their way into the kit. The 
latter is a good trick — simply a coil of 
lead -wire through which the line may 
be run — through a whole length, or it 
may be cut into sections to just the 
weight one wants. Then there is the 
little “Mackinac” sinker (19) shapqd 
like a bullet; lit opens and closes on a 
brass-threaded pivot — run line through 
and screw together for whatever depth 
decided upon. There are dozens more, 
each one constructed for a certain pur- 
pose and each one embodying certain 
principles. 
The largest sinker, and for the queer- 
est rig I ever heard of, I saw recently, 
Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. It will identify you.
