great majority went TO swell the

Happily in quite recent years the
tide of emigration has set in more

THE FUNNY PUFFER.
4 Queer Creature of the Salt Seas Is
the Blov.fish.

The funniest little fellow in salt
water is the puifer, or swelliish.
Fishermen call him the blowtish.
When he is swimming around at
ease with nothing to alarm him he
looks queer enough, for the skin Of
his abdomen is all loose and wrin-
killed., and he has such a funny tail
and such ridiculous little fins and
such a big, three cornered head that
he looks entirely absurd. His mouth,
instead of being big and gaping. as
most fish mouths are, is onl y a tiny
round hole at the end of a pointed,
conical snout. Out Of this circular
mouth protrude his teeth, like those
of a rabbit. lie would be about as
homely a fish as could lie made if it
were not for the beautiful orange
and yellow and silver colorings that
play all over him. But queer as he
looks when he is at ease, it is only
when he is frightened or excited
that he becomes really funny. If he
is hooked, for instance, he comes to
the surface grinding those protrud-
inc teeth so that the sound can be
heard good many feet away, and
then as soon as the hand touches
him he begins to grunt hoarsely,
and with each grunt he swelIs a bit
till within a few moments he has
pulled himself so full of air that he
is quite round and firm, like ball.
So thoroughly does he distend him
self with air that when the fisher
men hurl him at the water with all
their force, as they often do, he will
bounce like rubber ball. If he is
dropped into the water after blow
ing himself full of air he floats on it
as lightly as thistIedown, and he
will stay that way until he has as
sured himself that danger has gone
by. lie does the same when he is
pursued by other fish, and as he
floats almost entirely ont Of water,
with only little bit Of his hard.
spiny body sunk under the surface,
very few fish can hurt him once he
is inflated.
