f "'lb all 'wnom 'tt may comm-n5 Be. it known that I, Juno T. BU'uL, of

I" Whitehall, inthe county 'of Washington and;

Sta'wof New York, have invented a new and useful Contrivance for-Capturing Fish; and I' I do hereby declare that the'following'is afull,

elear, and exact description thereof, reference summ -t a fllhemature of my-iuveutionconsists in an fimproued manner-10f constructing an artificial being hadto the accompanying drawings and letters marked thereon, forming a part ofthis;

- tlon the water of metal or other suitable terial, said bait beinghollow, forming an stair-chamber, which is provided with an aperture for the admission of airor water, so that 'fit eanbe madeto floaton. the surface of the water Jc t closingtheiaperture, and it can be made to ing certain kindsof fish by isink toany des'ired depth by opening the aper-V ture' and allowing-water to take the place of a yanglsals rraiiging said bait that it shall de iwithout twisting the line ."and do f fish when the bait is seized,

said t d of double fins of spiral In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents. my improved bait withithel air.

- chamber closed and floating near. or on the surface oftthe'water; Fig. 2, the samewith the "aperture open, and the weight of the water,

by the action of the current, or by the ortsman walking on the shore and trailing .h-ich has. taken the place'of air, has depressed it below the surface of the water.

The oval or round part a, forming the air- 'chitinber,'-Iswage or di up and solder onto a flat piece of metal, .b,"cut toabout the shaperepresented, and turn up the endsofthe flat. of metal so .as'to'formthe double fins or propeller. I insert a' small tube through it, so thatgthe ends will project,v as at c o, th.10ngh -it'hioli -ishe line d passes, and the line, which is re, or gimp, is provided with a washer,

to the line. by means of a sw.i vel.;g;bpf

near or on the surface of the water, I propose to usedifi'erent, colored baits with difl'erent colored'fea-thers inserted in them." These variations incoilor of baits and featheis I deem it unnecessary to'givespecial directions here, as any sportsman will understand the object and manner of'adaptihgthem tp-the'sea'sonof the year andfto thedeso'ription of fish he is iu pursuit ofi t J L Having thus described my inproved revolting fish or fly l wish it to be distinctly-under stood that I..d0f not clain -what iscalled a .t spoon, minnow, orthe-comruonflfiy,all'- these having, beenkused before- I do not claim; passin'gthe ine. loosely through a cork or float; that the float may movefreelynpon-the line; Neither do I claim attachinga spinning-bait What I do claimas new a'nd desit' by Letters Patent, is,- i i ,f 1.
