Not long since I followed one of these
dashing trout-streams from the valley
| up the mountain.
Nature seemed to have done her best
to protect the little fishes that live in
the dark. deep pools and eddies. The
higher l climbed up the mountain, the
more fish I found: the stream became
a succession of falls, some of which
were three feet or more in height-the
brook in its track forming steps down
the m~ountain-and / began to wonder
how the Ash came to be up there.
In the village, I CHANGED to mention
the subject to a friend who owned =
mill on the same stream; and he told
me that the fishes ascent was q puzzle
to him, until N day his boy called him
ont to the dam, where the riddle was
solved. The dam was nearly four feet
high, and to relieve the stream, several
auger-holes had been bored in it, allow
ing q small stream of water to jet forci-
BILE out and go splashing down into the
clear pool below. As my friend APP
preached the spot, and looked through
the pushed, several ~large-sized trout
were seen moving about under the
mimic fall, evidently in great excite
mcnt, and carting into it as if enjoying
| the splash and roar Of the water.
Suddenly, one of the fish made q
quick rush that sent it up the falling
stream, so that il almost gained the top;
but by an unlucky turn it was caught
and thrown back into the pool, where
| - Ior%o1 ou,oX o,.Joptl,, p,,,oh ,+or+lo1
Soon another made the attempt, DART
ing at it like the first, and then rapidly
swimming up the fall, but only to meet
the fate of its predecessor. This was
tried q number of times, until finally,
q trout larger than the others made the
dash, mounted the stream, and entered
the round hold. The observers were
almost ready to clap their hands, but it
was not successful yet. As the water
stopped flowing for a moment, they saw
that though the athletic trout had sur
mounted the fall, the hole was too
small for it to pass Through, and there
the poor fish was lodged. The lockers
on fastened to relieve it, and found that
its side or pectoral fins were caught in
the wood, but by pushing the fishes
head, which you may be surc they did,
they liberated it, and it darted away
into the upper bond.
Here, then, was the explanation.
The trout climbed the mountain by
swimming up the falls, darting up the
foaming masses, and adopting every
expedient to accomplish their journey.
For these fish deposit their eggs high
mp stream, so that the young fry, when
Matched, may not be distured by preda-
sorry fish and other foes living in the
lower water.--C. F.. Holder, in ST
Nicholas.
