THE FLYING FISH.
some Interesting Facts Concerning This

Interesting Eaets
Curious Creature.
A verv common error made in
natural histories where this fish is
mentioned is that it does not fly. Its
supposed fight is nothing more than a
prolonged leap; it caunot deviate from
a straight line, and cannot rise a
second time without entering the
water" This, briefly, is the sort of
thing one meets with in textbooks
where reference is made to this fish
The simplest way of dealing with it
Is the professors method of answering
the query of the French academy
whether their definition of crab was
correct. The story is so well known
that it does not need repetition. As
the result Of personal observation ex-
tending over a good many years, |

have often seen, says a writer in
Chambers Magazine, flying fish rise
two hundred yards of, describe a
semi-circle. and. meeting the ship,
rise twenty feet in the air perpendicu-
larly, at the same time darting off at
right angles to its previous course.
Then. after another long fight, when
Just about to enter the water, the gap
ing jaws Of a dolphin emerging from the
sea gave it pause and it rose again, re-
turning almost directly upon its former
course. This procedure is so common
that it is a marvel it is not more wide
~ known.
A flying fish of mature size can fly a
thousand yards. 1t does not flap its
fins as bird, but they vibrate, like
the wings of an insect, with a distinct
hpm. The only thing which termi-
mates its fight involuntarily is the dry
ing of its fin membranes and their con-
sequent stiffening.
