Practically all commercial fishing in fresh waters is earr On,by the use of nets, whether a t; 7 br an up- to-date tog is employ e gill net is the handiest and is sed in Lake Erie. This forms Zr s the bottom of the lake about six feet high and any- where from 800 - feet to several miles long. Vleie nets aretrnede of thin cord and eanbe stovoetlawiny in a verY small compass, says the 1311ffalo Express. A fish will swim against the fence of net- ting, get its head caught in the mesh, and will stay there until taken out by the fishermen. The nets are kept in -position -in the water -by lead sinkers km the bottom and cork bobs on top. \The entirenetja aillifechorediectire- . 1y. while the 'Stint is marked by'a boy. 4;ill nets often come in sections 300 \feet long, and are fastened together in gangs. Fishing tugs often set a gang that is over four miles long. Each boat Is equipped with two gangs. • Pound. nets, whitise , uie n.New York waters is prohibited, are used in Ohio 'and Canadia i n waters. They form large receptacles in the water into which fish find their way and are prevented from getting out by a trap -like ar- rangement at the entrance. Game fish are often caught in pound nets. Then there are •Iso smaller Ira, nets, tyke cte, and many other varjeties, some of which are peculiar to different lo- calities. Some commercial fishing is carried on by the use of set lines for sturgeons, etc., but such means are not, 'exten-. sively employed. MEXICO MAKING STRIDES.' Our Sonthwedetern Neighbor I.

It is con- structed after the Newtonian theory of creation.

At one time I almost had decided• to become civilized.\ \So had I,\ acknowledged Wu, \but the bite of the dog. Hs the foreign dev- ils put it, will cure the hair.\ DOG WITH GOLD TOOTH. Philadelphia Canine of the .. R.IP• Breed Hits Remarkable Month Adornment. A well-known . rhil•delphia, pet stock dealer some ytra ago hit 'noon a eery odd and effective way to iden- tify a dog, says the.Philadsiphia Rec- ord. The owner of this dog called on him and said: \ my valuable bull, is running area& all the time. So far he has been traced and found in each of his flights, but it has been smatter of diMenity, and Tarn afraid that some day he will be irretrievably lost be- cause of the lack of some positive and striking mark of identification.\ \You want,\ said the dealer. \a good identifying mark? Well, I'll tell you what to do. Go to a datist and: have a gold crown put on one of the dog's front teeth. The crown won't hurt the tooth; on the contrno, it will prep/owe it; and alwars it *141 be. mark whereby your dog will . be readily known.\ The ()the , . did as the dealer advised, and since then there have appeared from time to time advertisements in the newspapers that began: \Lost A bulldog with a gold front tooth.\ Cradle oil American Genius.
