allowed to remain too long in the trap the prob¬ 
ability is that its legs (by which it is generally 
caught) will be damaged to an extent that will 
make its rejection by the taxidermist almost 
certain. 
The favorite method, however, consists in 
making little pitfalls in the snow. The con¬ 
trivance is simplicity itself, all required being a 
bottle and a small quantity of grain. Selecting 
a place likely to be frequented by grouse, the 
poacher, with the necessary requirements, re¬ 
pairs to the predetermined spot. Thrusting the 
bottle into the snow to a depth of about nine 
inches, he works it round until a conical hole, 
with the apex up, is formed, the top part being 
as nearly as possible the size of the circumfer¬ 
ence of the body of a grouse. When several of 
these holes have been made, he strews a quan¬ 
tity of the grain around, with a train leading up 
to each pitfall, into each of which a small quan¬ 
tity of the grain is dropped. When the grouse 
come to the spot they naturally begin feeding 
on the bait laid down for them, and are led up 
to the little pitfalls. Seeing the grain lying in 
the bottom of the hole, the hungry bird tries 
to reach it, and in doing so overbalances and 
falls head foremost into the pit. Here it is held 
a fast prisoner, for no foothold can be ob¬ 
tained, while its wings are held close to its sides 
by the surrounding snow. In this position, and 
without so much as a feather ruffled,’ the 
poacher finds it on his return. 
The killing of grouse during close time is 
not largely practiced. The market is really a 
limited one, and operations are confined to a 
few who, in one way or another, have picked 
up an acquaintance with not over-scrupulous 
taxidermists. So cunning and careful are these 
“knowing ones” that but few keepers know or 
suspect their practices. The offense is, of 
course, worse than mere poaching, and heavy 
penalties have been imposed upon those found 
out. Captures are, however, few and far be¬ 
tween, but that must not be taken as a proof 
that all violation of the law has ceased. 
PRESERVING GERMAN STREAMS. 
Vice-Consul W. Washington Brunswick, of 
Chemnitz, furnishes the following information 
concerning the manner in which German rivers 
are officially guarded from being polluted by- 
pulp factories: 
1 he pulp manufacturers are required to use 
every precaution possible so that not even a 
particle of the waste can reach the streams. 
The water which is to be emptied into the river 
must leave the factory in an absolutely clean 
condition, free from any remnants from the 
manufacturing process. This is accomplished 
by sending it through one or more settling 
ponds, and, if necessary, the waste must be 
passed through filters. The streams are regu¬ 
larly patrolled by inspectors, and any justified 
claims against the quality of the waters, due to 
pollution from the factories, is at once investi¬ 
gated and must be met with immediately, re¬ 
gardless of the cost. 
There are no regulations setting forth the 
exact method which a manufacturer must em¬ 
ploy to prevent the pollution of the streams; 
each manufacturer can use his own ideas upon 
the subject as long as his method fulfills the re¬ 
quirements. Settling ponds are invariably used, 
and the results are always satisfactory. 
An employee of the Inspection of Factories, 
who makes tours from time to time to inspect 
the. disposition of the waste material of the fac¬ 
tories, is under the immediate jurisdiction of 
the country authorities and has charge of the 
licenses to the factories and of the inspection. 
The law is enforced to the letter, and any 
violation, whether unintentional or not, compels 
the manufacturer to pay all costs in connection 
with removing the pollution from the streams. 
A manufacturer whose works are located on 
one of the small streams in Saxony polluted the 
water, and the inspectors compelled the owner 
to bear all the expenses for cleaning the stream 
and freeing it of impurities due to his negli¬ 
gence. The cost of freeing the stream from 
pollution used up the earnings of the factory 
for several years.
