An Electric Lure for Fish
Every good fisherman knows that a light will attract fish. A simple light can be made by taking a pint fruit jar, putting a ¹⁄₄-in. hole in the top of the cover, inserting a piece of gas pipe in the hole and soldering it to the cover. Insulated wires are run through the pipe, and a small electric globe is attached to the ends in the jar. The other ends of the wires are attached to a pocket battery. The jar is placed under water and the light turned on, which attracts the fish.
