A Sea Devil.

The Brighton Aquarium is the pres
ent home of sea devil caught near
Hastings. This monster fish is of a
dusky brown color, tadpole shaped,
that is, all head and shoulders. It is
about five feet in length, and some
three feet across the fappers. The
mouth at once arrests attention. It
stretches literallyright across the crea-
ture's face, and when closed as much
Us it can be, itmeasures nineteen inches.
At the edge of each jaw arc two or three
rows of teeth, hard, strong, and point
ed, set like the prongs of rat-trap.
those of the lower jaw directed oblique-
~ inward and once interlocked upon
prey, escape would be hopeless. It is.
however, when open, that the enormous
capacity of the tish's mouth is apparent.
If the fish chose to strain a point, a
four-and-a-half-gallon cask might be got
into it. At all events, it is circular
shaped, over foot in diameter, and
little less than two feet deep. The fisl,
is very rapacious and had not nature
endowed it with a special contrivance
for procuring food, itwould fare badly,
being but slow swimmer. 10 this
contrivance it owes its name, the
"Angler" fish. On the top of the head,
between the eyes and mouth, are two
tendrils, each about foot in length,
one having at it's end a feshy substance
which serves as II bait. When angling
for meal the Devil Fish covers Itself
partly beneath the sand or weeds,
hoists these tendrils and bides his time
By-and-by incautious royers are lured

and it seizes it's prey.

A Novel Fish Trap.

About daylight one morningrecently,
says the Denver News, the machinery
in the Pueblo Mills began gradually to
slacken, until at length it almost stop
ped: The miller, rightly supposine
that something had become entangled
in the turbine water wheel, which fur.
nishes the power for the mill, shut of
the water and proceeded to inspect the
wheel; On examination, he found that
piece of machinery filed to it's utmost
capacity with catfish. The wheel was
opened, and about one hundred pounds
of fish, varying from two to fifteen
pounds, were taken out. The orifices
in the wheel are sufficiently large to
allow fish under two pounds in weight
to pass through, and how many more
members there were in this piscatoria]
exploring expedition it is impossible to
tell. The fish seem to have come down
the mill ditch in a school, and their
voyage of discovery was brought to a
sudden termination by the turbine,
which seems to make an excellent trap
for large sized members of the finny
tribe. As soon as the news was spread
abroad in the neighborhood, Alderman
Baxter had numerous visitors, and q
fish feast was indulged in by a good
many OF his friends. Catfish are a
luxury there, Us it il, almost impossible
to catch them with hook and line in
the Arkansas. This is the second time
that these mills have been stopped by
fish, a similar occurrence having taken
place last summer.
