RED WINGED SEA ROBINS.
They Are Among the Most Curious
Fish Along Our shores.

| They Are Among the Most Curious
Fish Along Our shores.
! suppose the popularity which would
be noticed first about the sea robin,
grunter or gunard as he Is yariously
called, would be his clumsy shape.
The head Is large and deep in com.
parison with the body. one Of our OBJ
serving young folks, looking ut him
alive in his tank Of the United States
fish commission, Washington, would
be apt to eXclaim, "Oh, see, he has lit.
tie hook claws which help him crawl
along" Sure enough, just I'm front of
the pectoral or side fins are three little
hngerllkc processes OF each side, which
are used to stir up weeds and sand
and TO rake around among the pebbles
and rout out the small animals upon
which the sea robin feeds in its native
waters. While doing this 1t seems to
be crawling along over the bottom by
hooking these peculiar claws into the
sand
Sea robins feed on small crabs, fish,
shrimps and other dimiuutive animals
which they find among the loose stones.
In Europe all the gurnard family Of
fishes are eagerly sought. as they find
a ready sale in the fish market. They
attain Il length Of two feet ana a
weight Of eleven pounds. Our species
Of the sea robin, "A cousin TO the Euro.
pean variety, is found ON our northern
coast and is taken in great numbers
I'm the pound nets along Vineyard sound
where they spawn during the summer
months.
They are much esteemed for the
table, being one Of the most delicate
of the edible fishes. The flesh IL firm,
snow white and hard to distinguish
from that OF the kinglish. The Amer.
lean sea robins are fifteen to eighteen
inches long and weigh from one and
one-fourth to two pounds. When taken
from the water they grunt quite loudly
and If placed on the ground give
little hop forward of a few inches,
gruntlng as they do so. This gruntlng
sound can be heard quite plainly II
one is in boat lying quietly in shall
low water near where they are.
The head Is shoathed with bony
plates and armed with sharp points,
which are rather hard to distinguish
at first, as they lie quite at against t.
When caught they erect a their splnes
and innict very painful wounds on
those who try to handle them. The
pectOral fins are little more than half
as long as the body and may be ex-
tended like a fan when in use or fold
ed quite close together when on the
bottom, thus giving them the name "
Butterfly fish.
The "uys Of the tail may also be
much extended to look like japanese
fan.
The color Of this peculiar fish is a
brOwnish yellow over the back and
sides and cream white below. The
pectoral fins are deep orange color,
with n blackish marking toward the
tips, crossed all over with little dark
brown lines and edged with light vel
low orange color. The lower Jaw Is
a beautiful turquoise blue, edged with
vein Of brassy yellow.-St. Nicholas. |

burglars, who We're hlghwaymen as
well, visited the little town of Harinar-
vile, a few miles above Phtsburg on
the Allegheny rlyer, recently, says a
Pittsburg correspondent OF the Cineln-
natl Enquirer.
When they speeded away in their
automobile, several hours after their
arrival, they took with them about
$500 worth of plumber and left camp
of Italian laborers terrorlzed, after
having relieved them of all their yalua-
bes.
Early in the evening George KouRtz.
a night Waterman employed by man
ufacturing company, noticed the auto
mobile with the three well dressed
men riding through the little town.
The party was noticed by a number
of others, but no attention was paid to
them, even though they drove up one
street and down another, apparently
examining each house very closely as
they passed.
Shortly after midnight Amos Coss, a
wealthy resident of the town, was
awakened and soon discovered that
burglars were In the house. The noise
he made frightened them away. and he
got a good look at them as they hur-
ried through the front door. Black
masks covered their faces, and they
were clad in evening suits.
Hurrying through the front yard,
they jumped into the auto, which was
waiting for them, and sped down the
street at lightning speed and were soon
lost to view
A search of the house revealed the
fact that they had secured two goId
watches, a large quantity of silver
plate and considerable amount of
money.
1t was O'Clock when the burglars
were again heard from. Their second
visit was to the home Of Edward
Brooks, on the opposite side of the
town, where they secured $50 in cash,
silverware and other valuables.
While the burglars were not seen at
the Brooks home, the marks Of the au-
tomobile wheels were plainly visible.
The last and most daring visit was to
a camp of italian laborers employed in
the construction of the new FreepOrt
road. There were dozen Italians in
the camp, who were aroused from
their slumbers by the hghwaymen.
The surprise was complete, and the
foreigners were compelled to form in
line with their hands above their
heads.
While one Of the styllshly dressed
robbers covered the frightened crowd
with two revolvers, the second search
ed the shanty and succeeded in getting
$50 I'm cash. Then, backing away,
they jumped into their auto and speed
ed on.

der Chief Robert G. Robinson was put
working on the case

In life giants are usually weakmind-
