PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
The A. H. Fox Gun Company, 4670 North Eighteenth 
street, Philadelphia* Pa., have just cause for gratification 
over ex-President Roosevelt’s compliment, published in 
the October Scribner’s to which our attention has been 
called. Col. Roosevelt says: “In addition, I had with 
me a No. 12 Fox shotgun. No better gun was ever 
made.” We are informed that this is the only specific 
praise bestowed on any firearms he took with him on 
his great African trip, and it certainly is a high com¬ 
pliment to American brains and skill. 
Messrs. Joseph Lang & Son, Ltd., 102 New Bond 
street, _ London, W., England, are distributing circulars, 
exquisitely illustrated, calling special attention to their 
patent automatic detachable side locks, on their single or 
double trigger guns. The manufactures of this firm, 
for artistic excellence, soundness of make and good shoot¬ 
ing qualities, have held the esteem of sportsmen during 
many past decades.— Adv. 
Every fall and spring, scores of sportsmen write to 
Forest and Stream, making inquiry in regard to wild 
rice seed. Northrup, King & Co., of Minneapolis, are 
reliable dealers in wild rice seed, and offer to furnish a 
complete booklet on wild rice, with full directions for 
planting. 
The outdoor man, especially when about to go into 
the woods, is particularly concerned with having an out¬ 
fit of the right kind of underwear. The advertisement 
of Wright’s health underwear is "particularly timely. 
TRESPASSING DECISIONS. 
The sportsman in the country just when the 
shades of night are falling will sometimes hear 
the report of a gun, and immediately there is 
conjured in his mind a picture of evil-doing— 
a crouching figure behind a hedge from the 
shelter of which he has just discharged a gun. 
In the adjoining field are the survivors of a 
large covey of partridges, some lying dead, 
some fluttering and tumbling on the ground, 
and others fluttering away sorely stricken, to 
die after hours, or maybe days, of suffering. 
Thus a covey which would afford a couple of 
hours or more good sport is done to death at 
one fell blow in shameful fashion. Such an in¬ 
cident was described in the Dorchester Police 
Court a few days ago, when a farmer was 
charged with trespass in search of game. A 
witness described how he saw the defendant 
with a gun in one hand and his hat in the other 
look through a gap in a hedge, then crawl down 
a ditch alongside until he got opposite a covey 
of partridges that were on another man’s land. 
Then, related the observer, he in a “most un¬ 
sportsmanlike and inhuman manner” took a 
point-blank shot at the birds on the ground. 
Two shots were fired in rapid succession, and 
the ground was covered with dead and flutter¬ 
ing birds. The covey consisted of 16 birds. 
The defendant, who denied the shooting and 
said he was merely crouching along the hedge 
to fix snares for rabbits, was fined £1 and 
costs. A rather interesting point was raised by 
the solicitor for the defence, who maintained 
that there was no case to answer, as there was 
no proof of entry upon Colonel Mansel’s land. 
The solicitor for the prosecution replied that 
the shots striking the ground had been held 
to be sufficient to prove entry. Then the de¬ 
fending solicitor pointed out that this decision 
had been altered, and that under Regina vs. 
Pratt personal entry must be proved. In one 
case cited, a man from his own land shot game 
on someone .else’s and afterward went on the 
land to fetch, but it was only when the two acts 
were taken together that the offence was 
proved. In this case the defendant never left 
his own land. We have not looked up the case 
referred to, but we are confident that anyone 
who shoots into another man’s land, although 
he may be standing within his own boundaries, 
is guilty of trespass, and if he afterwards went 
to fetch the game he had killed he could then 
be charged with trespass in pursuit of game. 
This does not, of course, refer to cases where 
the game has risen from one’s own land, and is 
shot while flying over.—Shooting Times. 
MOOI RIVER FISH. 
An interesting exhibit is being prepared by 
the Transvaal Trout Acclimatization Society 
for the permanent industrial exhibition at Pre¬ 
toria. It consists of about two dozen bottles 
containing specimens of fish, etc., preserved in 
a solution of formalin. About the most inter¬ 
esting series of bottles traces the development 
of the trout from the time the ova are shed by 
the hen fish up to the time the mature fish is 
ripe for capture or reproduction, as fate may 
determine. Other bottles contain specimens of 
water life which should either be encouraged or 
slaughtered according to their friendly or hos¬ 
tile relationship with fish, and there is, in ad¬ 
dition, an excellent collection of some dozen 
specimens of fish indigenous to the 'Mooi River, 
including two varieties of the somewhat rare 
mud fish. There are also specimens of juvenile 
hydrocyon, better known as tiger fish, from the 
Komati River. Altogether the collection, ap¬ 
propriately labeled, should prove a welcome ad¬ 
dition to the attractions of the exhibition, and 
should not be missed by sportsmen interested 
in fish life. It was at first intended to have 
worthy specimens of the larger fish set up, but 
the idea had for the present to be abandoned, 
owing to the fact that such work cannot be 
done in this colony, and the expense of sending 
to the Cape is prohibitive.—Transvaal Weekly
