The s q Neitle.

The Mobile (AlS. y Re7is 'er says Capt.
L. H. Kennerly is laid up at Howards
from the effects of an encounter with a
sea nettle. He left for that famous :
sort Saturday, and it is said that he was
stung Sunday. The sea nettle, or jelly
fish, is quite common in Mobile Bay.
The body is transparent and jellylike,
dish shaped, with the mouth downward,
from which hang appendages varying in
number, length and purpose The body
is so largely made up of water that on
drying it Is reduced to q mere film of
membrane. They are 30 transparent
that they would hardly be seen in the
water but for their beautiful colors
They resemble some human beings in
one particular-they are all stomach.
Their principal Office is to grow hungry
and fill up. They are SAID to make from
100 to 900 hearty meals day and wake
up in the night shouting for lunch.
They eat everything in sight, and when
there is nothing in sight they eat them
selves, or, if more convenient, each
other They move with the rapidity and
eegance OF birds of prey, securing their
victims with precision by means of the
these acts in manner which would
hardly be expected in a transpaen mass
of Jelly. Perhaps they themselves are
able to recognize the incongruity of
these evolutions, but though they may
blush they do not hesitate. Evidently
they are driven to it by hunger A fish
that has to eat so many hundred meals a
day must be very hungry from habit as
well as from principle. No doubt the
Jelly fish was surprised when it tackled
the portly Capt, Kennerly, and found
that it had bitten oil NOR than it could
chew. Capt. Kenrerly was also sur
prised, painfully surprised He says SO.
Tn re is no doubt as to his feelings in
the matter. But, happily he escaped,
lus enc experience. and the Jelly fish
is by this time "a mere film of mem
brane."
