color of an ordinary penny of the present cur¬

Now, between the bright silver and the very 
dull sober bronze of the home-made spoon there 
is a vast discrepancy, yet Patsy Madan would on 
all occasions have preferred his bronze article, 
which he never even troubled to brighten. Color 
does not enter into the question of the two 
spoons, it merely being a matter of light and 
dark, excepting that the bronze spoon is of a 
browny hue, very much the color of peat-stained 
water. As to whether a bright hue or the bright¬ 
est surface we can use is good on a dark or a 
bright day, or whether a bright color or a dark 
color for the same different conditions, or 
whether they are both affected by greater or 
less peat stain in the water, I cannot definitely 
state, but it is remarkable that in Ireland it has 
been the custom, at any rate for trout and salmon, 
to use sober-colored lures as against brighter 
colors in Scotland. The prevailing difference is 
doubtless one of light, and it is possible that 
the sober colors are more effectual under a leaden 
sky than the bright-colored lures. 
A correspondent, Mr. Philip N. Boase, has a 
most interesting letter in the Fishing Gazette 
of Oct. 31, which apparently relates strongly to 
color, and, in Mr. Boase’s opinion, in favor of 
the color appreciation of trout. What a splendid 
position this gentleman is in to make further 
experiments with regard to this most interesting 
subject! With respect to Mr. Boase’s experience 
as related by himself, to my mind it is hardly 
possible that the trout, from their position, could 
have seen any color in the solid mince, or mus¬ 
sels ; but, as far as I remember, mimulus blos¬ 
soms are translucent, and the light through the 
petals of the mimulus would have been observ¬ 
able from the trout’s position, and the red flowers 
would have appeared darker than the yellow ones, 
which transmitted more light, and in this way 
the trout may have mistaken the red mimulus 
blossoms for the opaque mince. I think that 
had some of the yellow mimulus blossoms been 
sunk under the water they would have been 
mouthed by the trout as the red ones were, and 
possibly Mr. Boase would agree with me that 
in nearly every case the vision of the trout was 
against the light. He is best able to decide that 
question. 
Some of the blossoms in the water passed 
from fish to fish might have been taken merely 
because those behind saw the trout in front spit¬ 
ting them out, and consequently thought them 
worth tasting. 
I never could quite understand why this color 
question has not been threshed out, but I fear 
that anglers are not the men to do it, although 
their views and experiences must always be in¬ 
teresting and instructive, and I wish we heard 
more upon the subject.—Fishing Gazette, Eng¬ 
land. 
THE CONCERT SEASON. 
Edouardo Ferrari-Fontana who made suoh a sensa¬ 
tional debut last season in “L’Amore dei Tre Re” at 
the Metropolitan Opera House will be the soloist at 
the next pair of Concerts at Carnegie Hall by the 
Philharmonic 'Society next Thursday evening and 
Friday afternoon, December 17th and 18th. He will 
sing Beethoven’s most famous song, “Adelaide,” and 
an aria from Verdi’s “La Forza del Destimo,” “Oh 
tu che in seno agli angeli,” sung by Don Alvaro at 
the beginning of the third act. Two old orchestral 
favorites will figure on the program for the first time 
since Mr. 'Stransky has been conductor of the Phil¬ 
harmonic Orchestra—Rimsky-Korsakoff’s melodious and 
colorful Suite, “Soheherazade,” and Richard Strauss’s 
humorous Symphonic Poem, “Till Eulenspiegel and his 
Merry Pranks.” Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody, Num¬ 
ber 1 in the orchestral list, will close the program. 
This is practically the same as Number 14 of the piano 
collection, and virtually identical with the Hungarian 
Fantasie for Piano and Orchestra.
