AN OCEAN FREAK.
The Deep Sea Fish known as the

The chiasmodon is one OF the rarest
creatures known to science. only
three specimens of it have ever peen

sion ON earth except to swallow, and
the only reason he ever comes to ole Is
that he does his work too well. ms
"black swallowet" is q deep sea fsh,

1900 fathoms of water. The only
snecimens that have been obtained
have ali been picked up in the North
Atlantic. not far from the Newfonnd-
land coast. They are built for their
business. In color they are lnky
black, as the name indicates, save on
the stomach. The body is long ana
ot almost uniform thickness. Inc
taper of the tail is very abrupt. They
are devoid of scales. The skin is per.
fectly smooth. A scaly coat woui1
interfere with perfect elasticity, and
that is the "black swallower's" neces'
sarily strong point. He must stretch
or his job is gone. ~.
OF course, this fish, swallowing the
monsters that he does, must have a
mouth constructed especially Tor the
purpose. His head is subconlc IN
