were maintained. The great Nepigon reserve is 
exposed to considerable risk, owing to the con¬ 
struction through the northern end of it of the 
Transcontinental Railway. The Eastern reserve 
has been carefully guarded and the forest 
growth is reported to be dense and thrifty on 
this territory, which was completely denuded of 
its pine timber before being set apart as a re¬ 
serve. The Sibley Reserve is a small area 
covering Thunder Cape, the object being to keep 
that noble promontory clothed with timber. No 
fire has occurred there. The Quetico reserve 
in the Rainy River district, suffered somewhat 
from forest fires during the past summer. As 
there are no settlements, railways or lumber 
camps in this reserve, it was difficult to account 
for the fires. It is possible that they crossed 
from the Minnesota side, where serious fires 
raged for considerable periods. Costly fires oc¬ 
curred at other points in the Thunder Bay and 
Rainy River districts. Altogether it was esti¬ 
mated that about 1,000 miles of territory had 
been more or less damaged by fire.” 
THE FRENCHMAN AND THE AMERICAN 
When a Frenchman leaves school he makes 
up his mind as to the amount of steady income, 
usually absurdly modest from our point of view, 
he will retire on. About the age of fifty he has 
acquired that he will not hesitate a moment, 
nor be tempted by the lure of greater prosper¬ 
ity, even though it may appear certain, but will 
retire and go fishing. The young American on 
leaving school, says the New Era, forms no 
definite financial plan except to become a mil¬ 
lionaire. But if he attain his ambition he never 
thinks of retiring. One million only begets a 
desire for more and still more, so that it may 
be said his appetite grows with what it feeds on. 
Hence we often find him with one foot in the 
grave madly pursuing on the other the elusive 
dollar. Which is the wiser man, the Frenchman 
or the American? 
A DIRE THREAT. 
Down in Florida there is a law prohibiting the 
use of gilling nets more than 600 feet long, but 
the net owners pool their issues by joining net 
to net and sweeping the waters almost from 
shore to shore. In a recent instance a local 
judge on the west coast “got after” the male¬ 
factors and rounded most of them up. They all 
pleaded guilty and received “a hard talking to.” 
He finished his denunciation of their practices 
by saying: “I’ll have to be severe with you all, 
and I impose a fine of one dollar on each and 
every one of you. Go and sin no more. If 
you are ever brought before me again I warn 
you now that I will fine you two dollars.”—

A FISH-CATCHING ROOK. 
A few days ago, says the Anglers’ News, a 
rook was observed circling over the surface of 
the Thames, a short distance above Glover’s 
Island, Richmond, when suddenly it made a 
dive into the water, becoming partially sub¬ 
merged. It quickly rose with a fish—apparently 
a large dace—firmly clutched in its bill. The 
bird then flew shorewards and alighted in a tree 
near where its observers were seated. The fish 
was alive and wriggling vigorously, but its cap- 
tor quickly dispatched it by knocking it against 
the thick branch of the tree. This accomplished, 
the sable-feathered angler flew off with its prey 
in the direction of St. Margaret’s. 
TROUT IN THE TRANSVAAL. 
The Transvaal Trout Acclimatization Society 
has secured a new site for its hatchery at 
Potchefstroom, and some rainbow trout eggs 
from New Zealand have been hatched out there. 
Brown trout, the produce of ova from the North 
of England Hatchery, Barrasford-on-Tyne', have 
done well at Potchefstroom, and should provide 
new and useful blood for the various rivers. 
Good sport has been had this past year on the 
Broederstroom, Dassieo, and Komati streams, 
but trout anglers on the Mooi do not appear to 
have done so well.—Anglers’ News.
