rcf side, being exposed to the cooling and
srrs!ng atmosphere, shrinks and contracts BY
evaporation.
Thus acted upon by the moistcning pro-
cess going on below, and by the driving one
ration above, the head and tail Of the little
tish are elevated and bent so as to approach
and sometimes even 20 touch at their extre-
mites. Various motions, resembling the "a
citations and commissions of dying Ssh, take
place. The artificial thing gets on its belly,
and frequently turns quite over on the other
side; and then The agency of the same cause
continuing, 1t bends, writhes, get up and turns
back again.
It's said these curious artificial fishes were
hrst brought from Canton in the ships be-
longing to Salem, in Massachusetts,. An in
Senous artist at the latter place soon disco
vered the method of initiating the Chinese
productions. And their singular and enter
tanning qualities induced the Hon Mr.. Crown
inshicid, reprcs entative to Congress, to carry
some OF them to Washington, to crafty the
curious. in 1905. At that time the f,hiioao-
ch;cdl .f3sh was entirely novel, and quite
phenomenon. Every body wondered at its
strange motions, initiative of life; and spccu-
lative minds were engaged in framing hypo-
theses 70 explain them by animal magnetism,
galvanism, and electricity
The hydrometrical curiosity was inclcsed
in paper with this humorous account of it
by the artist who made it.
