KEEP THEM ALIVE. 
T HERE are any number of fish-cages on the 
market which you can tote along, hoping 
against hope that you will be able to fill be¬ 
fore night. They are a fine institution but when 
there are any fish within and the boat goes along 
to the other side of the lake the wash of the 
water will in all probability kill them. And then 
the cage is a nuisance, a hindrance in rowing. 
Furthermore, there is no protection to the unfor¬ 
tunate occupants from the wash. That in itself 
will kill a fish. That’s what killed those fine 
ones you caught last summer, caught after many 
trials and had alive only just before you started 
for the shore. 
Just before you start the next time look up an 
old potato sack, only see that there are no holes 
in the bag. Take it along. 
When you catch that fish put him in the bag 
and hang it on the shady side of the boat jam¬ 
ming over the oarlock and letting it hang in the 
water. Into this drop your fish as you catch 
them. Then when you are ready to move along 
you can let the bag stay where it is or bring it 
in for a while. You may bring in a little water 
but that never hurts anyone on a fishing trip. 
Even when left out it will not hinder the rower 
half as much as a cage. Furthermore, the bag 
acts as a protection to the fish, keeps it in the 
shade and from the rush of water that will bang 
it lifeless. I have left fish in the bag all night 
after having rowed across a stretch of a mile or 
two and have then found them lively in the 
morning. 
FOREST AND STREAM’S GUESSING 
CONTEST. 
Natural history guessing contests seem to be 
popular, but to vary the monotony Forest and 
Stream hereby announces the inauguration of its 
Great Unnatural History Guessing Contest, with 
the first subject outlined below. 
Answers or surmises should be directed to the 
Guessing Editor, and as a prize we offer to the 
lucky subscriber who comes nearest hitting the 
mark, or the duck, a setting of the fowl’s eggs, 
if indeed we can induce the blooming bird to lay 
—and if it prove to be that kind of a bird. 
Reports from Alaska state that below'zero 
temperature has seriously interfered with the 
opening of the canning season, the past winter 
being unprecedented for the long drastic period 
of continued cold. Streams in western Alaska 
are frozen over solid. The navigation of Bering 
Sea will be greatly impaired until late in the 
summer. 
HOW TO MAKE A CANVAS COVER FOR A 
CANOE. 
By John Anderson. 
In running falls and rapids in a canoe, when 
it is heavily loaded, such as is often the case 
when on a cruise, it is found very convenient at 
times to have some sort of a covering over the 
canoe to keep out the water, which may come 
in over the bow and sides. 
A very satisfactory home-made cover of canvas 
may be made with little trouble. Cut out the 
canvas the shape of the top of the canoe and 
about six inches larger all around. Sew in a 
drawing string around the edge. Then cut two 
holes in the cover, one directly over each seat. 
These should be cut so as to come even with 
the back of the seat and extend about a foot in 
front, the sides of the holes coming to within 
four inches of the sides of the canoe. In front 
of these holes are attached aprons, which may 
be drawn up around the paddlers when necessary. 
When not in use these aprons are thrown for¬ 
ward on the canvas cover. 
These covers are attached to the canoe by 
means of small holes in the canvas which are 
fastened over screw-eyes placed in the sides of 
the canoe. Beneath these, around the canoe is 
the drawing string, which when drawn tight will 
prevent the water from coming up under the 
cover. The screw-eyes must be placed so as not 
to interfere with the paddlers, for if they are 
in reaching distance, it is almost impossible to 
keep from tearing the hands on them. 
Such a cover requires only a few minutes to 
put on, arid not only will it keep the duffle dry, 
but it may also prevent the canoe from swamping.
