BOREST SAND: STREAM: 

MEMORABLE TRIP. 
Continued from page 611. 
| A 

end we made the short portage around the falls 
tand entered Bog River up which we pulled to 
ithe carry, portaged over the very good road past 
the rapids, and came to Round Pond, a fair sized 
flake, very pretty, but shallow enough to make 
+ it unpleasant boating in rough weather. Here 
¢ we found a party hunting deer, or rather having 
*dogs do the hunting while they awaited their 
advent in the water when close pressed, to be 
'shot at close range without a chance for life, an 
| unsportsmanlike method. As we passed on we 
heard a shot and presumed that they rejoiced, 
} but I always have despised this method of secur- 
} ing venison. 
On through the inlet to Little Tupper Lake, 
¢ beautiful with its islands and picturesque shores, 
+ we stopped for the night at Pliny Robbins’ un- 
pretentious little hotel and had excellent accom- 
modations, and a long chat with Pliny, who was 
1 an old time guide and hunter and had many in- 
! teresting experiences to recount. 
+ Next day we proceeded up this charming lake, 
} and stopping for a call upon my friend Grove, 
who was in camp at Sand Point, went on 
to the head and thence up the inlet to the por- 
¢ tage and over to Charley Pond, a little gem of 
3 a lake noted for its fine trout, made the portage 
over this well known trail through grand old 
\ forest, and were once again at Smith’s Lake, the 
+ most beautiful of any seen in the Adirondacks, 
{ with its general shape of the letter X and irregu- 
| lar wooded shores, numerous points and bays, 
i and its seven islands, each a gem. We pulled 
through, announced our coming by strains 
; from the cornet, and were welcomed home on 
( our arrival at Lamont’s Inn, which has now 
| made way for the imposing summer home of 
| Dr. Webb. 
We had been gone exactly five weeks, during 
which the weather had been as near perfect as 
, could be. All rains that had occurred were at 
/ night, so that we had no delay on that score. 
! Our health and appetites had been continuously 
. good, our muscles hardened by the work, and 
i nothing had occurred to mar our enjoyment. 
4 Notwithstanding the hardships encountered, the 
trip was one to be remembered with pleasure, and 
- I am certain that Andrew will never forget his 
first bass fishing experience.

AMERICAN SHELLS IN ITALY. 
Owinc to the interest awakened by the re- 
port of Consul James E. Dunning, of Milan. on 
the use of American shells in Italy, published 
,.in Daily Consular and Trade Reports on Jan. 
} 8, 1907, and in answer to numerous inquiries, 
| he has prepared this supplementary statement: 
i “Buttons made from Mississippi shells are 
# used to a great extent in Italy, and in fact are 
the most popular. At present all such buttons 
| are imported from Bohemia. There is an un- 
f usually good opportunity to introduce the 
American shells in the raw direct from the 
United States, as the Italian button makers are 
- eager to produce their own stock. 
“Until a short time ago no Italian factories 
have tried to manufacture buttons from Ameri- 
I can shells for two important reasons: First, 
| they could not compete successfully with 
Bohemia; and, second, they would have to put 
up special plants of machinery. All the ex- 
periments so far attempted show results favor- 
able to American shells, the only difficulty hav- 
ing been with the machinery in use in Italy. 
Mother-of-pearl buttons have been made in 
+ Italy almost completely by hand, but several 
t} factories which tried to make them from 
# American shells in the same manner found that, 
while the mother-of-pearl is soft and malleable, 
the Mississippi shells were so hard that they 
ruined the blades of the machinery used on 
| mother-of-pearl buttons; in addition many raw 
buttons simply split into small pieces and had 
to be thrown away. The finished button was, 
however, superior to the Bohemian or Italian 
mother-of-pearl article.”

This is a manual of Ski-running prepared for the use 
of the Ski Club of Great Britain. Being designed for 
the practical instruction of the reader, it is written in 
simple terms, and treats the subject thoroughly. Ski- 
running opportunities are found in all parts of the 
United States where the snow falls and in Canada; and 
with an appreciation of the excitement and exhilaration 
of the sport, the Ski will doubtless become popular. 
The work is fully illustrated. Price, $1.25, postpaid.
