A NEST-BUILDING FISH.
Nature Affords n Safe Asylum For the
Helpless Fishes.

Helpless Fishes.
1t is doubtful whether protective MINI
ferry among animals is better exempli-
fed than in the case of the fish com.
monty known as the marbled angler of
the Sargasso sea Prerophryne histrio)
Owing to its peculiar structure it is a
poor swimmer, and it therefore spends
most of its life moving slowly about
on the bottom among corals, seaweed,
ETC., which these fishes closely resem-
BILE in color and in outline. They cling,
too, to the floating masses of sargas-
sum weed with their peculiar fins, and
the color markings of the fish closely
resemble the weed itself. Not only does
the weed thus furnish home for this
species, but the fish actually constructs
a nest from it and therein deposits its
eggs One of these nests, found in con-
nection with the Hassler expedition,
was described as consisting of round
mass of sargassum about the size of
two fists rolled up together To all APP
pearances it was made of nothing but
this gulf weed, the branches and leaves
of which were. however, evidently knit
together and not merely tangled into
roundlsh mass. for, though some of the
leaves and branches hung loose from
the nest, it became at once visible that
the bulk of the ball was held together
by threads trending i'll every direction
among the seaweed. BY close observa-
ton it became apparent that this mass
of seaweed was nest, the central part
OF which was bound up in the form of
ball, with several loose branches ex-
tending in various directions. On still
closer examination the nest above de-
scribed was found to be full of eggs,
which Were scattered throughout the
mass.
Nature has thus afforded safe asy-
lum for these somewhat helpless fishes,
whose cutaneous fllaments, which are
plentifully provided on the belly, around
the mouth and ON the dorsal spine, so
nearly resemble the weed itself that
predaceous fishes aoubtless fail to rec
ognize the living animals. and thus the
latter escape rmination.-Sclentidc

DEATH OF vELMA I. LEAR.
yeIma l., daughter OF J. Frank Lear,
died at her home Wednesday, March 16,
of consumption.
The deceased was left mot herless before
she was ten years OF age. but the mothers
place was supplied, SO far as possible. by
the father; and when, in few years, she
was anie to assume the home duties, she
richly repaid the love and care by becom-
ing the counsellor and sffectionate COM
panion of her father, brother and sister.
She devoted herself 10 the home circle
until such time as she could well be
spared from Ii. Their, having already
awaited herself OF such educational privi-
Ieees as our town affords, she entered
upon the course at the Castine normal
school.
After entering the normal school, she
taught several terms of school very sue
cessfuIiy. Being well endowed mentally
and experimenting these endowments
by ambition and industry, had her health
been spared, we are confident that she
would have won further success in life.
But 1t was wiiled otherwise. Three
years ago the cough and fading cheek
warned her that che must cease the pur'
suance OF her studies and her work AZ
teacher.
During this time she has gradually. al
though sometimes imperceptibly, failed
In health, but she has been able to enjoy
social life, and to attend to the lighter
home work until the present winter.
Bravely she bsttied with the disease
the defeat. Even to the last she was un
repining. She was loyal member o
lamoine grange and has held variou
offices during her membership.
The first two years of her falling health
she held the important office OF lecturer
and was always at her post dischargiDI
the duties with ability.
The funeral services were held Friday
Rev. J. p. Simonton, OF Ellsworth, Off
cistipg.

many tears we're shed over the loss OF
highly esteemed and beloved sister.
The community Is greatly saddene
that one whose life held much of promis
and usefulness has gone from our midst
Beautiful floral offerings from tn
grange, from the family and other rela
tives spoke OF sympathy and love.
The deceased leaves, beside her father,
brother, Harvey, and sister, Mrs. Jess
e. Young, both OF whom reside at Eas
Lamoine. They have the deepest sym
pathy of all their scquaintances In thi
great bereavement.
