A HELGRAMITE CAN
By A. R. HARPAL
The best thing I have ever found to carry hellgrammites in is one of these perforated aluminum cans which are designed to convert the ordinary coffee pot into a percolator. They can be procured at any hardware store at from ten to twenty cents according to size, quality and material and nerve of the emporium you happen to visit. I have seen these in ten cent stores.
Mine is about five inches high and three inches in diameter. It is perforated on the bottom and the sides, but the top is solid. Being of aluminum, it is light, does not rust and is easily kept clean. I take my supply of hellgrammites, put them in the can with some leaves, close down the lid and then hold the can under water a moment.
A vigorous flirt throws out excess water, so I can put it in my creel. Every half-hour or so I give them a fresh wetting. They have so much fresh air and water that they keep in fine condition all day.
