FISH THAT BUILDS A NEST.
1t Is Poor Swimmer and Nature
Has Arranged for Its Pro; ection.

It Is Poor Swimmer and Nature
Has Arranged for Its Pro ;ection.
Few fishes are nest-builderS. The
majority of them make their homes
wherever chance and the waves land
them. There is one member of the
finny tribe, however, that eXemplifies
the protective provisions of nature
the marbled angler of the Sargasso
Sea. 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, sea
weeds, etc, which these fishes closely
resemble in color and in outline. They
cling, too, to the floating masses of
sargassum weed with their peculiar
fins, and the color and the marking Of
the fish closely resemble the, weed it
self. Not only does the weed thus fur
nish home for this species. but the
fish actually constructs nest from it
and therein deposits its eggs.
One of these nests, found in con-
nection with the Hassier expedition in
1871, was described as consisting of
round mass of sargassum. about the
size of two fists rolled up together. To
all appearances 1t was made of moth
ing but this gulf weed, the branches
and leaves of which We're, however,
evidently knit together, and not mere
ly tangled into roundish mass; for,
though some of the leaves and branch
es hung loose from the nest. it became
at once visible that the bulk of the
ball was held together by threads
trending in every direction among the
seaweed BY close observation it be-
came apparent that this mass of sea-
weed was nest the central part of
which was bound up in the form of a
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-
,um for these Somewhat helpless
fishes, whose cutaneous fiaments,
which are plentifully provided on the
belly, around the mouth and on the
Gorsal spine, so nearly resemble the
weed itself that predaceous fishes
doubtless fail to recognize the living
animals, and thus the latter escape ex-
termination.

the red paint off the canvas of one of
the pupils, putting in its place another
background. But the red would show
through. He scraped, studied and
worked laboriously to get something
that pleased him. The rest of the class
