Glorious Hued Fish.

One Of the most gorgeous fishes in the
world is found, strangely enough, not
in tropical waters, but off the coasts OF
England, where the waters are gray
and deep and cold, says the New York
Press. 1t is the opah. or kingish. The
species reaches a weight Of from thirty
to one hundred pounds, and is shaped
little like the great sunfish Of the At
lantic Ocean in American waters.
The fish has immense eyes, OF which
the iris is a bright scarlet. The gill
covers are green and gold, and the rest
of the fish is flashing red and green'
over which there play sheens Of purple
and gold. Again over this sheen there
is another still more transparent film
of silver, which plays in large, white
spots over the-rest Of the bright colors
The fms, which are large and sword
shaped, are vivid red.
