NETS, WEIRS AND WHEELS SNARES LAID FOR FISHES. DEVICES USED BY FISHERMEN. Apparatus With Which the Harvests “of the Sea are Reaped. ESTERESTING OBJECTS IX THE NATIONAL MUSEUM COLLECTION—SEINES USED IN OCEAN FISHERIES —WEIRS FOR HERRING—AN AUTOMATIC WHEEL FOR THROWING SHAD OUT OF THE WATER. —____ ISHES differ and men differ. So there are many different ways of trapping fish. A large hall in the national museum is filled with appliances and appa- ratus used inthe fish~ cries, with models and illustrations that give a complete exposition of the subject of the fish- eries. There are sSilimpses into the life of the toilers who reap the harvest of the sea and views that show how their work is done and how the fish are han- dled and treated after the fisherman has brought them to the shore. The ceiling of the hall is raped with fish nets. At one end is a lifelike figure of a whaleman standing in the prow of his boat with a harpoon in hand, and all around the room are models of fish and cases filled with the apparatus for taking them. There are many devices used for trapping fish. Nets have been in use by both savage and ciyil- ized people for ages. The development of the fisheries and the competition among fishermen have led to the employment of huge seines. Many devices once astd by fishermen—when were more plentiful or less shy or when the fisherman was contented with a smaller catch—have been abandoned or are disappear- ing. In the North Carolina rivers, before the general use of seines, traps of various kinds were set by many fishermen. Now the use of such traps is rare, One ingenious trap for catching shad. used in North Carolina, is a fish wheel, made with four blades or arms, which is set in the open- ing orsluice where a stream ran through a The arms or blades of the wheel are curved and sloped to one side. They are so set that their concave sides are turned down stream. The blades dip into the water and the wheel is turned by the force of the current. Afish going up the river has of course to MARQUE FISH SUDE: SS pass up through the opening in the dam. Stri ing the concave side of one of the blades of the turning wheel it is scooped up, and the slope of the arms is such that as the wheel turns the fish is thrown out at one side into a tank or box made to catch it and hold it. Shad going up stream in the spawning season are caught in this way. Another North Caro- lina trap, intended to catch fish comi stream, is known asa fish slide. It form built in the stream where there is a slight fall or rapids. This platform forms an up- ward angle with the water and is boxed around so as to hold any fish that come upon it. The-platform is made with slats, set far enough apart to let the water that is washed uponit run through. Fish are carried y the current upon this platform and thrown p high upon the dry part. Aman stands by ith a gaff tosecure the fish thus trapped or ‘its the slide at intervals for the purpose. If fish manges to flounder back toward the ter before he cau get astart against the rent he is likely to be washed back upon @CAROUNA Fis went eg “= Purse seines are used extensively in the mackerel and menhaden fisheries on the At- lantic coast. When « school is sighted boats put out from the fishing schooner and circling about the fish run out a great wall of netting, which can be drawn together at the bottom like a purse so as to hold the fish. In the mackerel fisheries seines as much as 225 fathoms in length and 25 fathoms in depth are used. Cork lines and buoys are used to float the upper part of the net on the surface while the lower part is held down by a lead line. It re- quires considerable skill to fish successfully with the purse seine. As the schooner sails over the fishing grounds a man is posted at the mast-head to keep a lookout for schools of fish or any movement on the part of other vessels indicating that they have sighted fish. When the lookout shouts that he has sighted a school. he gives directions how to steer the vessel, and all is bustle on board. ‘The members of the crew jump to their places in the seine boat which is towed astern or at the side of the schooner. The captain takes his place on a platform in the stern of the boat where he can steer and direct the operations of the crew. He has to calculate the speed at which the school is moving and have hix boat rowed so as to intercept them and cut them off with his net. A little dory with two men re a PURSING THE SEINE aboard follows the seine boat, and picking up a line attached to the buoy where the net | is first dropped into the water, holds it in| place until the seine boat has rowed around a wide circle and back to the dory. Then the men tug on the = that purse the seine and the net is gradually taken im. the part in the water being dimini-hed in size until there is nothing left but a littie purse filled with fish which are bailed out and taken to the schooner. Wheu the men put out anet the captain and ail the crew leave the schooner ex- cept the cook,who has to sail the vessel and of- ten get dinuer at the same time, dividing bis time between the wheel and the cook's galley. It is among the vicissitudes of a fisherman's life to have to eata burned dinuer. Until afew years ago such fishing was done only in the day time, bat the competition led to fishing at night, so that the crews are worked almost constantly.

Gill nets, to 20 fathoms long and two or three fathoms deep with small meshes are used in the herring fishery. FORGHING FOR, HERRING it In the great lakes the most important fisher- ies are operated with pound nets. They are simple of construction, having a leader or net from 30 to 85 rods in length, which is set up so as to guide the fish that strike against it into a heart-shaped pound, beyond which is a square- shaped bowl or “pot.” The fishermen at in- tervals haul up the ‘‘pot” and secure the im- prisoned fish. “Skimming” is a common mode of fishing on the upper reaches of the Neuse river in North Carolina. On account of the narrowness of the ascend in single file. The im” net, which is light and oval, with a handle of light tough wood. is held vertically in the water byw man in the bow of a canoe. Another man sits in the stern to — the canoe. The man in the bow holds the handle of the net in one hand and a trip-string in the | other. He can feel the contact of any body | against the net, and by a dexterous twist of the trip-string and handle tand it in the boat. In this way hundreds of shad are caugh. Many methods of capturing herring, includ- ing the smaller herring or sardines, have been followed. The old Indian way, still practiced by many small fishermen, is to “torch” for them at night. A boat with an iron “dragon” or fire holder forward, or a bed of clay, on which a fire can be built in the bow, is used. A SHORE MERRING WER, \ FISHING fire is made out of some exceedingly combusti- ble wood that makes a bright glare. The ii stincts of the fish lead them to rise to the sur- face when the light appears. In the day, at- tracted by the light, the herring move toward the sun. At night they rise to the light of the fires and a man with a hand net in the bow of the boat dips them from the water. The In- dians, it is thought, discovered this habit of herring by seeing them rise to the surface and swim to the beach when camp fires had been lighted on the shores. erring are caught in vast numbers by means of brash weirs. These weirs are con- structed at the end ofa point of land or ina channel in regiops where tides rise high. Poles are sunk in water and the spaces between them woven with brush like a thick hedge. The weir when constructed forms a pond, into which the fish, following the sun or fecding near the surface, are drifted by the cur- rentat high tide. When the tide goes down the irs, which at high water are almost out of sight. are leftalmost dry and myriads of fish are taken from them. Formerly when lobsters were plentiful in- shore on the coast of New —- they were readily caught in great numbers by gaffs or hooks on the end of poles, by means of which Auet1NG THE POT OF PouND-NET they were hooked out from beneath shelving rocks, Another form of apparatus used in fishing was a small hoop pot or circular net, over which a hoop was bowed. The net was two anda half or three feet in diameter, but was suspended from the hoop over the center | ofthe net. The fisherman went out in his boat and set several of these pots. Where lobsters were plentiful he had simply to go from one pot to the other, and, raising it up. find a [obeter in the uot Now lait pots are used almost altogether in lobster Sshing. They are semi-cylindrical boxes. made of a frame cov- ered with lathing, with openings between the strips. The ends are covered with netting. with a funnel-shaped opening leading into the interior of the pot, Bait. gen- erally a flounder, whose white side attracts the lobster is attached toa stake inside the pot. The hungry lobster. spying the bait try to enter thd pot. and at length getting into the funnel find easy access to the interior, The lobster, however. cannot easily get out, as the small end of the funnel is on the inside. Many such pots will be set by a single fisherma: who wiil visit them during the day, haul the @AUUKG LOUSTER, ——e to the surface and take out the captives, In winter, when it is not convenient to visit th | epg: another form of pot is used which an_additional of amuse Maas in- jwo fun- a the reach of the out See for them.

The turtle instinctively ims upward towar the surface and the fishermen guides it toward the shallow water in shore and when he gets there he hag the animal at his mercy. The Indians of the northwest coast are all skillful fishermen. Many of them subsist most ae on figh and neglect agricultural pursuits, The sea, bays and rivers, teeming with fish, offer them always a rich harvest that can be easily reaped. ‘fhe indolent and dirty Indians of the Guinaielt agency, Washington poitaen’ E are unusually expert in the use of nets and spears with which they capture sal- mon and smaller fish. The nets and s and the manner of using them have been described in a recent report made to the Smithsonian In- stitution by Mr. C. Willoughby. The drag-net 18 used for fishing in narrow streams of r. For using it two canoes are necessary, with strut from six to eight feet apart, with bows diverging. An Indian sits in the stern of each canoe, each Indian holding one pole of the net in one hand, while the other hand holds tight the string which keeps the e>ptured by di =: ORAG-NEY. Eo wasningTom TER, month of the net open. The string always re- mains fastened to the pole, but when the In- dian relaxes his hold on the string, as he does in hauling up the net, the mouth of the net closes, preventing the fish from escaping. The two canoes goup the river until 200 or 300 yards from the mouth; the net is then placed, and one Indian in each canoe paddles, while another throws stones to frighten the fish. Then they paddle down the river with the cur- rent into the narrow passage near the bar. ‘Thus while catching salmon in the drag-net, as they proceed down stream, they are at the same time driving the fish toward other In- dians who stand in the shallow water on the bar ready to spear them. The shaft of the salmon spear is made of cedar, the fork of the wood of e salmon berry, and ‘the barbs of wood or metal. A loop of cord attached to the spear is held in the lett hand. A surf net is used by these Indians to catch candle fish and gnelt. As the surf rolls in the Indian runs rapidly forward and, bending down, passes the net under the comb of the breaker, often capturing at once as many as an ordinary water bucket will hold. The handle of the surf net is six feet long, mouth of the net four feet by eighteen inches and depth about three feet. The Indian holds the bottom of the net drawn back under the handie until he thrusts it into the water, when he lets the point fall, Another net used for catching the small Quinaielt salmon on the river has a hai die 14 feet ie, & mouth one by five feet anda depth of four.feet. Formerly ‘the twine used in weaving these nets was made by the Indians from the fiber of the common nettle, but now seine twine is used. In India the natives use trapping fish, A simple one is merely a funnel- shaped basket or net, which is bung in a stream or cascade and catches all the fish that may come down.
