A QUEER SEA DENIzEN.
Fishes That Angle for the FOOD

From the Chicago ChronicIe.


Most remarkable OF strange fishes Is the
angler fish whose very name seems
paradox The fishing fish is neVettheless
a reality, and stern one to all that ap-
proach those awful jaws OF his. Win
a body the color of mud, he generally
lies in the shadow Of some rock on the
bottom of the sea, waiting motionless loI
the approach of his prey.
He is provided with an odd kind OF mn
Just over the mouth, and this Is held OUT
in front of him to give warning OF lhe
coming Of something to be swallowed
One taken alive was eXpeTlmentcd on ana
il was found that if this projecting IN
was touched with stick, even though tne
stick did not come near the mouth, lie
Jaws closed conVuIsiYcly. This shows
that the fin, by some provision OF nature,
closes the Jaws a : soon as il Is tOuched.
The mouth IS tremendous, growing 70
the width of a foot. while the Wholc Hsh
is only three feet long. one of these an
glcrs was caught not long since and, al
though il was only twenty-five lncheS iunB
a fish fifteen inches long was round SUCK
ing in its throat. hctangler Is proyIded
with a peculiar set OF teeth, IN uOubIv OF
treble rows along the jaws ana at the en-
trance of the throat. Some of these teeth
are a foot long. l.
He is not a pretty fish to look at, but he
attends strictly to business, and Will swat-
low anything that touches his warning nm,
whether il be meant for food or not. All
kinds OF things have been found IN the
stomach Of anglers, from bits Of lead and
stone To fish almost as large as the angler
itself This is without doubt one or the
most peculiar and interesting hsh III the

that the advances in prices have not kept

Burlington is better worth $50 now, when
the company is earning per cent on its
