THE SWORDFlSH.
Some of the Tropical Species Arc of
Enormous Size

| A queer fish is the sWordfish. It Is
found in the tropical and subtropical
zones Of both the eastern and western
hemlspheres. Some of the tropical spe-
| cles are of enormous size and measure
from twelve to fifteen feet in length,
with swords at least three feet long.
The sword is much the shape of a cone
somewhat hattened, the end sharply
pointed. 1t is smooth on the top and
sides, but the under part is rough. It
is really an elongation Of the bones of
the upper jaw and is possessed of very
great strength, for with these weapons
they have been known to pierce the
copper sheathing of vessels and heavy
plates and timbers; but, although they
can drive the sword far into these sub
stances, they cannot draw them out. so
break them off and swim away with
out them.
large fin extends nearly the length
OF the back of the creature, which is
folded back when the fish is swim
ming in order that it's progress may not
be impeded if speed is desired but
when quietly swimming it is often
erected and acts as a sail to carry it
through the water The swordfish is
very aggressive in it's disposition and
will often assail fish much larger than
itself. Even the whale is not exempt
from it's attacks. The food of the
sWordhsh consists of smaller fish. |
which it kills by stabbing them with
its sword. There is quite large bust
ness done in swordfishing, as the flesh
is used for food. The larger species
are caught by happening, the smaller
in nets.
