.aIongp' Sure enough, Justin front Of
the pectoral or side fms are three little
fngerllke processes on 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 dlminutive 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 a length of two feet and 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
in 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 is firm,
snow white and hard to distinguish
from that of the kingfsh. 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 II placed on the ground give a
little hop forward Of a few inches,
gruntlng as they do so. This granting
sound can be heard quite plainly If
one is in q boat lying quietly in shall
low water near where they are.
The head is sheathed with bony
plates and armed with sharp points,
which are rather hard to distinguish
at first, as they lie quite fat against 1t.
When caught they erect all their spines
and inflict 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 fan when In use or fold
ed quite close together when on the
bottom, thus giving them the name of
butterfly fish.
The rays 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 blacklsh marking toward the
tips, crossed all over with little dark
brown lines and edged with light yel-
low orange color. The lower jaw is
a beautiful turquoise blue, edged with
a vein Of brassy yellow.-St. Nicholas.

Norton G. Smith. sl

A big real estate deal was consum-
mated today by Norton & Smith which
will probably result in the location Of
another big lumber mill in this sec
ton of the state. Three thousand
acres of timber land in the southwest
ern portion of Grant county was pur-
chased for the M. B. Hutchinson Lum-
Der company of Ottumwa, Iowa, and
the company will build large saw
mill on this property and will also
build trans and bring a number Of
people into this territory to operate
the mill and<get out the timber for the
mill. This is large concern and since
they have secured a foothold in this
section of the state it is probable that
their holdings will be increased.
The land purchased today is well
timbered with fine yellow pine timber.
