FISHING LUCK. 
Some people say there is no such thing as luck 
in angling. Perhaps there is not. Still William 
Jenkins was always considered the luckiest fel¬ 
low out, for after giving half-a-crown for a 
rod, reel, line and hook, and paying nothing for 
a bag (a stocking foot) of worms, which he dug 
out of his potato plot, he rushed down to a pool 
that held salmon. He cast his line, as he saw 
others had done, and, like them, sat down. 
When he had lighted his pipe, he picked up his 
rod, and, with a mighty heave, tore a salmon to 
the top of the water. Fortunately, the tackle, 
though low priced, was sound, and by'the aid 
of fellow disciples a bright ten-pounder was 
brought to the bank. That man was unwise, for 
he sold rod and new fish, purchased a more ex¬ 
pensive angling outfit—and never caught another 
fish.—London Field. 
TRAPPING AUSTRALIAN RABBITS. . 
Consul-General Bray reports from Melbourne 
that a new rabbit trap is being used in Australia 
with great success, whereby rabbits may be 
caught alive in very large numbers. It is used 
in connection with small trap yards, diagrams for 
the construction of which are supplied by the 
patentee of the traps. The trap itself is 18 inches 
long, 12 inches high, and 6 inches in width. It 
has a balanced moving floor and a door at each 
end, which opens and closes automatically. The 
weight of a rabbit on the inverse end of a floor 
closes the door behind him by which he has en¬ 
tered and opens the door in front leading to- the 
trap yard, so that the rabbit has no option but 
to go on, and when he leaves the trap it goes 
back to its former position, thus resetting itself. 
The small trap yards are constructed of double¬ 
wire netting fences, in the spaces between which 
green fodder or hay is cultivated or provided, 
and, although these foods cannot be reached by 
the rabbits, it entices them to enter through the 
traps to try and get out the fodder from the other 
side. Two, three or more traps may be used in 
connection with each trap yard. The. invention 
has been tried with great success on several ex¬ 
tensive ranches in Australia, and the inventor 
has a number of certificates from leading ranch¬ 
men, one of whom states that with two of the 
traps set at a small water hole he caught 630 
rabbits in one night.
