A Peculiar Fish.

Lying limp and dry on a fishmons-
er's slab, the turbot Is perhaps the least
interesting of fish. When swimming
In an artificial sea, or lying on the
sandy bottom, it is the most attractive
of all the denizens of this mock ocean,
and, whether at rest or in motion. has
an air Of vigilance, vivacity and In
telligence greater than that OF any
normally shaped fish. This is in part
due to his habits, and in part to the
expression of the fiat f1sh's eye. This.
which Is sunk and invisible in the dead
fish, is raised on a kind of turret in
the living turbot, OF sole, and set there
in a half revolving apparatus, work
ing almost as Independently as the
ball and socket" eyes of the chame-
leon. There Is this difference, how
ever, in the eye of the lizard and of
the fish-the iris of the chameleon Is
a mere pinhole at the top of the eye
ball, which is thus absolutely without
expression. The turbot's eyes are
black and gold, and intensely bright,
with none OF the fixed, staring, stupid
appearances Of ordinary fishes eyes.
It lies upon the sand and jerks It's eyes
independently into position to survey
any part OF the ground surface and the
water above or that on any side at any
angle. II 1t had light rays to project
from It's eyes instead of to receive, the
effect would be precisely that made by
the sudden shifting OF the jointed APP
paratus which casts the electric light
from a warship at any angle on the sea,
sky or horizon.
The turbots, though ready, graceful
swimmers, moving in wavelike undu-
lations across the water, or dashing of
like a fash when so disposed, usually
lie perfectly still upon the bottom.
They do not, like the founders, cover
themselves with sand, for they mimic
the color Of the ground with such abb
solute fidelity that, except for the shin
Ing eye, 1t Is almost impossible to dis
tinguish them. II would appear that
volition plays ONE part in this subtle
conformity to environment, for n
turbot, which is blind, has changed a
tint too light, and not at all in harmony
with that OF the sand.

The Drinking Habits Of Animals.

Tame rabbits are commonly kept
without water; but they may be seen
licking the bars of their hutch after a
shower and drink eagerly when they
have the chance. Most other rodents,
including rats, are thirsty creatures.
The only animals living in very dry
places which seem able to do entirely
without drink are snakes and reptiles.
In the cold desert of shifting said In
kashgar there were no reptiles. and
not even a fly. But the Afghan boun-
Diary commission found swarms of liz
ards and a new and venomous species
OF adder in astonishing numbers In the
awful desert Of hot shifting sand at
the corner where Persia, Beluchistan
and Afghanistan meet.
We must note one exception the ei-
raffe. which Mr.. Dryden believes exists
for three-quarters Of the year In North
kalanari without water. But this can
not be proved until the desert has been
explored and the total a. sence of water
confirmed. There is known to be water
beneath the surface. Inc if the giraffe
0 e live waterless, he must imbibe his
liquid nutriment at second hand In the
juices OF the leaves OF the trees which
have their roots in the moisture. Seals
do not apparently drink. neither do cor
morants and penguins; but there can
be little more evaporation from their
bodies than from those of fish. and
their food is wet and moist. A more
difficult question is that OF the water
supply of arctic animals In winter: pos
sibly they eat snow.
