| New Fish Law Passed by Legislature.
Harrisburg, June 20.—The fish code
regulating the catching of fish in in-
land waters of Pensylvania, was
sent to the Governor on Tuesday after
Senate amendments had been concur-
red in by the House. The code repeals
and replaces virtually all the existing
acts accepting the laws prohibiting
| fishing by aliens and the pollution act
| of 1876.
The bill fixes the open seasons and
size and creel limits for game fish
as follows, taking effect January 1,
next:
Trout (except lake trout,) open
season April i5-July 21, size limit 6
inches, creel limit, 25.
Bass (large and small mouth,) open
season July 1-December 31, size limit
9 inches, creel limit 12.
Rock (white, calice, and strawber-
ry,) open season July 1-December 31,
cize limit 6 inches, creel limit 25.
Lake or salmon trout, open season
July 1-September 30, size limit, no
limit; creel limit, no limit.
Pike, perch, walleyed pike or Sus-
quehanna salmon, open season July 1-
December 31; size limit, 12 inches;
creel limit 25.
Pickerel, open season July 1-Decem-
ber 31; size limit 12 inches; creel
limit 25.
Muscallonge, open season, July 1-
December 31; size limit 24 inches;
creel limit 4.
Yeliow perch, open season July 1-
December 31; size limit 6 inches;
creel limit 50,
Sunfish, open season, no closed sea-
son; size limit, no limit; creel limit
Sunday fishing is prohibited. The
use of seines, spears, gigs or outlines,
or lines bearing more than three
hooks are forbidden. A small dip net
or minnow seine net over four feet
in diameter may be used for the tak-
ing of bait fish only. A minnow trap
with an opening net over one inch in
diameter is -also permitted for taking
bait fish.
The use of seines and dip nets is
permited in the Susquehanna below
McCall’s Ferry dam under license for
taking shad, herring and alewife
suckers, catfish, eels and carp only
from March 1 to June 20.
The pollution section of the bill
forbids the use of explosives or elec-
tricity or poison in taking fish, or
otherwise to pollute streams.
The purchase or sale of any spe-
cies of trout except lake trout or of
any large mouth or small mouth bass
is forbidden unless artificially prop-
agated and sold under state license.

John Smith and Pocahontas.
About a mile below Richmond, in
what is now the brickyard region,
there used to stand the residence of
the Mayo family, a place known as
Powhatan, This place has long been
pointed out as the scene of the saving
of Smith by the Indian girl, but late
research has proved that, though
Smith did come up the James to the
present site of Richmond, his capture
by the Indians did not occur here, but
in the vicinity of Jamestown. The
Indians took him first to one of their
villages on York river, near te pres-
ent site of West Point, Va., and thence
to a place on the same stream in the
county of Gloucester, where the pow-
hatan, or tribal chief, resided. Here,
on the west side of the river, some nine
miles from Williamsburg, the scene of
Smith’s rescue by Pocahontas has been
located.—Julian Street in Collier’s. :
“QOverhang” Houses.
By the year 1670 wooden chimneys
and log houses of the Plymouth and
Bay colonies were replaced by more
sightly houses of two stories, which
were frequently built with the second
story jutting out a foot or two over
the first and sometimes with the at-
tic story still further extending over
the second story. This “overhang” is
popularly supposed to have been built
for the purpose of affording a con-
venient shooting place from which to
repel the Indians. This is, however,
a historic fable. The overhanging sec-
ond story was a common form of
building in England in the time of
Queen Elizabeth, and the Massachu-
setts and Rhode Island settlers sim-
ply and naturally copied their old
homes.
Wild Ducks.
Canvasback and redhead ducks,
which are very quick of movement,
after deep diving are capable of tak-
ing flight immediately upon coming to
the surface of the water. They do not
spring directly upward into the air,
but fly at first at an angle until they
reach the desired elevation. Surface
feeding wild fowl, like the black duck,
pintail and teal, fly directly upward
from the surface of the water if the
emergency demands it.
