Fishes That cannot swim.

More than one species of fish is met
with which cannot swim, the most
singular OF which, perhaps, is the
maltha, a Brazilian fish. whose organs
of locomotion only enable it to crawl.
or walk, or hop. after the manner of
a toad, to which animal this fish to
some extent bears a resemblance, and
it IS provided with long, upturned
snout. The anterior tpectoraD fms of
the maltha, which are quite small. are
not capable of acting on the water. but
can only move backward and forward,
having truly the form of thin paws.
Both these and the ventral and anal
fins are very different from the similar
fms IN other fishes. and could not serve
Tor swimming at all. Other examples
Of non-swimming fishes include the
seahorse, another most peculiarly
shaped inha bitant of the sea. which re-
senbles the knight in a set of chess
men; and the starfSh. of which there
are many specimens, which mostly
walk or crawl on the shore or rocks,

most of the notable engagements Of
the war and coming through with q
single scratch, a very slight bullet
wound in the cheek, the scar of which is
still visible.
Returning to the pursuits of civil life,
he followed various callings until the
late war when, at the age of sixty-one
years, he was quick to volunteer. To
quote his own words, at this time he
hadn't gray hair, could jump as far as
he wanted to and could almost outrun

For three years he followed the for
tunes of this command, participating
in many engagements and receiving
most of his injuries mentioned. His
left wrist was broken at Crab Orchard,
Ky; his right arm broken, breastbone
and ribs crushed at Nashville, Tenn. !;
the wound in his knee was received at
Franklin, Va; that in the shoulder at
Decatur, Ala; that in the hip at Louden,
below Knoxville. Tenn, where he also
received slight bullet wound in the
left leg. At the expiration of his three
years service he removed his family

enlisted in the One Hundred and
