"LOBSTER CATCHING. IMPORTANT INDUSTRY ON THE MAINE COAST.

Promontories, islands, and small rocky capes cut up the sea in this locality into bays, inlets, lakes and rivers, so that one shoal is connected with smother for miles around. Ther¢ is a law in Maine which pro “hibits the canning of lobsters other time than between March August 1st. But lobsters are snared and sent alive in smacks to market, or are boiled and sent in open crates all the year round. So rapidly are the lobsters caught during the “open” months, that all of the factories are full before August arrives, Lobster factories are very along the Maine coast. Deer Island has a number at Burnt Cove and Oceanville, forming a part of a series of tweaty-three all belonging to one firm. There are | others at Harpswell, the principal island | of Casco Bay, another at the old town of | Castine, and others at the Southwest Harbor-—but, for that matter, they y all along the New England coast. factory opens upon the water near . and the lobsters are brought in small and large fishing-smacks he squirming crustaceans arc dumped Men with long and when est them they are boiled enough thes scooped he flo chers, The ad refuse are taken off immediate 3 thrown in separate piles, to be carted off to some fertilizer factory.

They are made of slats, so arranged that the prey can look inside and yet not get in to the bait without crawling through the circu. lar hole at the big end. A cod’s head is placed inside for bait, and the lobsters greedily hurry through the only opening to get at it. The opening is so arranged shat they can never return. A ballast of stones keeps the trap in position at the bottom of the bay, and a piece of wood floats as a buoy to mark the place, An enterprising lobsterman will have from one to two Rundred of these traps set at various ocd places, and it takes some time to visit them all every morn. ing and remove their contents, He hauls the trap up, dumps out the lobsters, re. baits it, and then drops it back to the bottom. When the trap needs fixing he carries it to his home, or if there is no catch where it has been set he carries it to another more favorable location. When the lobsters are carried ashore by the fishermen, they are thrown into the floating lobster.car, which is a large sub. merged box. Here they are kept until the smack from Boaton or Portland comes along to take them away. The lobsters are swung aboard of the smack by means of a tackle and pulley, and the skipper Rath tally on a shingle until the whole car is unlonded. Thesmack is kept busy in the cove for some time, for there are many lobstermen ready to sell their is; and in places where there is no rail com. munication, the Skipper prings with him many household and personal goods from the city. The skippers run in opposition to cach other, and each endeavors to get the fishermen to pledge all of their catch to him. This competition kevps the price up, so that the fishermen are always paid well for their work.—| New York Press. INDIAN SURGERY, The Red Man's Method of Treating Various Injuries.
