MUSICAL MINNOWS.
Two Pennsylvania disciples of Izaak Walton have just invented a musical minnow for bass fishing. The new device is a wooden minnow, and instead of the usual spinner in front, there is carved out the far/a -of a pretty girl. In'front of the face is a miniature electric light, the power for which is furnished! by a dry battery carried in the pocket of tlie fisherman, to throw light on the bait, which hangs oh the under side. The minnow is painted red, and within it is a tiny musical box, the playing of which is* regulated by the fisherman before he casts his line. The inventors say they adopted the idea because 'they have found while fishing that bass "are attracted by the ringing of a cow-bell.
