THE PICTORIAL FINS.

without Them the Fish Would
Stand on It's Head.
The pectoral fins OF fish are tlss two
tins, one Oh each side, just back of the
head. These fins aid the fish to some
extent in swimming. They are small
oars which the fish feathers very beau.
tifully and are of value chiefly to pre-
serve it's equilibrium 1t is with these
fins that the fish maintains it's horizon
tai position in the water when not
swimming. Without them the fish
would stand on its head. Sometimes a
fish loses one or both of it's pectoral
fins by disease or by accident. A fish
without pectoral fins is in a bad way.
While most fishes keep horizontal
position in the water when not swim
ming, there are fishes that do not. One
Of these fishes is the fetish, which
when motionless suspends itself in the
water, head downward, at an angle of
fOrty-tive degrees or even nearer the
perpendicular. A fetish kept in an
aquarium which had lost both it's pee
toral fins inclined over backward past
the perpendicular when motionless to
about the same angle that it would
have kept in the other direction if its
pectoral fins had been intact, so that
when not in motion it seemed to be ~
ing at an angle on it's back.
In the same aquarium there was a
striped bass weighing about pound
and half, one of whose pectoral fins
was attacked at tile tip by fungus.
which gradually encroached upon it.
Finally the diseased portions Of the fin
were cut off with pair of sharp shears
the cut being made within the sound
part of the fin. At first the fish Was
like man in boat pulling one long
oar and one short one-it couldn't hold
a course. But it soon accustomed it.
self to it's new condition, and there
after it got along very comfortably. =.
