Swedback, written by him on June 6th, states in part as follows: “We reached Malmo, Sweden, and both of us are in the best of health, We enjoyed the trip and saw many new things—especially new to-us. We spent four days in the great city of London most of the time seeing the great and novel things there. Yesterday we were in Copenhagen, Denmark, a beautiful place. We landed at noon today. Itisa place of 80,000 inhabitants and the most Americanized place I have seen since we left the Western Continent. The weather has been quite cold most of the time. While in London and on the North Sea it was uncom- fortably cold. Today we are hav- ing the finest weather we have had since we left Minnesota. I think the climate here is a month later than Minnesota. We leave here to- morrow for Helsingberg and Christ- iana. Visiting Cards.

The fish was provided on the underside with a large number of common hooks, which made it a dangerous article to take hold of. method of using the same becomes The bug on the inside kept flashing, generally known. Recently Emil Schneider, ber of the firm of Schneider this city, has been catching number of fish, at night on Bemidji lake. At first Mr. Schneider was accused of spearing the fish, which would have been in direct violation a mem- Bros. of a large of the game laws of the state, and’ would have gotten him into serious difficulty. Being a law-abiding citi- zen, it was concluded that he must have some other method of catching the fish, as there were the marks of fishing hooks plainly visible in their mouths. Mr. Schneider would not divulge the method which he pur- sued in the catching of the fish, 5o a strict watch was kept to learn, if possible, how it was done. A prominent citizen followed Emil to the lake, and when he rowed out en the water followed him, and making his presence known, and requesting that he be let into the secret of catching fish after dark. Mr. Schneider opened a small tin box, and in one corner he had several common lightning bugs, which were continually illuminating the interior of the box with flashes of light Taking from the box a glass made hollow inside and exactly the shape of ‘a small minnow, Emil grasped one of the bugs and put it inside the glass fish. There was at once flashes from the bug which lit up the fish and made it shine very brightly. Schneider let the fish, which had \been fastened to the end of the line, into the water and it immediately sank to the end of the line, and could at intervals be when suddenly there came a riSh through the waters, and a large fish grabbed the hooks and was soon fast. It was hauled in and found to be a large pike. This operation was repeated, and, when the bug died and failed to further flash light, the inside of the glass fish was replenished with an- other bug. This was kept up for an hour when the citizen and Sch- neider started for home, their boat half-laden with a fine lot of fish. It developed that Mr. Schneider had been working on his idea of catch- ing fish at night for some time. Knowing that spearing at night was against the law, he conceived the idea of utilizing the millions of lightning bugs that infest the coun- try hereabouts. He experimented with the bug, and found that it would live for half an hour in a common glass bottle, tightly corked. He then made a glass fish, and found that the flash of the bug inside the fish could be plainly seen‘at night in the water a distance of twenty feet. And what was more astonishing, the large fish in the water seemed to swallow the fish and its bug with avidity. « Mr. Schneider has applied for a patent on his device.” Fame and fortune undoubtedly— await Mr. Schneider when his patent is puton the market. - “‘Illuminated” bait will be in great demand for night fishing. A. L. Weyler “tipped” the infor- mation for the above story, and swears it is true.
