FISH ARE NOT PARTICULAR.
They Care for Quantity. Not Quality, and
Always Take Water in Theirs.

at is a well-established fact in nat
ural history" says man well posted
on the subject, 'that fish have two
chief occupations. One is to eat and
the other is to avoid being eaten. Few
persons have had occasion to actually
observe the voraciousness of fish.
Fish are not particular as to what
they eat when hungry. L have seen
a half-pound trout swallow a quarter
of a pound trout. I have found IN the
stomach of a Goldfish weighing eight
pounds block of wood as large as
my hand. There was found III the
stomach Of Goldfish that was taken
at Glouchester, not so very long ago,
pack of playing-cards. How the
Goldfish found the cards no one has
ever been able to surmise."
81 have found in the stomach OF
a striped bass which weighed twelve
pounds another striped bass weighing
four pounds. And. astonishing as it
may seem, there were found in the
same fish nine menhaden and few
other small fish. A few weeks ago
there was found in the stomach of a
fish caught off the coast of England a
long iron bolt.
Probably the greediest of all, is the
black swallower,' as it is popularity
termed. This fish can perform the
exceedingly impossible feat of swal-
lowing another fish from eight to
twelve times larger than itself. Its
true habitation seems to be at a depth
of about 1900 fatboms. 1t has an
elongated body of nearly uniform
thickness from the head nearly to the
tail. The skin is destitute of scales,
the mouth is very deeply cleft, ex-
tending behind the eyes, and remind
you of the chestnut about the boy
who was said to have so large a mouth
that when he opened it the top of his
head was an island. The peculiaIity
of the swallower's mouth is that some
of the teeth, all of which are
long and sharply pointed, are
movable Let the swallower espy
a fish many times larger than itself
and it darts upon its victim like a
flash, seizes it be the tail, and gradu-
ally climbs over it with its jaws, first
advancing one jaw and then the
other. As the victim is taken in the
swallower's stomach it appears as a
great bag projecting out far backward
and forward. The walls of the stom-
ach are so tightly stretched that they
are transparent, and the species of the
fish taken in may be discovered.
Such rapacity is often more than the
captor can back up by digestion, and
the swallower is forced upward from
the depths to the surface of the ocean,
where it may be picked up. In this
way specimens of this rare fish have
been obtained and sent to the Ma
tional museum at Washington.
