wards the end Of August returned to
HARLEM. They showed US a cottage

who had been married to her twenty

NESTS IN GULF WEED.
Breeding Place of the Flying Fish In
the Sareasso Sea.

the Sarsasso Sea.
In the middle of the north Atlantic
there is an area Of comparatively still
water almost equal to continental
europe in extent and more or less
covered with floating seaweed. 1t was
known as the Mar de Sargaco to Co
lumbus and the early navigators and
is the Sargasso sea Of modern geog-
raphers.
The floating seaweed was formerly
supposed to have grown near the Ba-
hama and Florida shores and to have
drifted to it's present position. 1t is
now, however, known to grow and
propagate itself where it is found. In
it are found globular masses of weed
containing fish eggs and known as fish
nests.
Investigations show that the floating
weed of the Sargasso sea is the chosen
breeding place of species of flying fish,
The eggs found in the nests were at
tributed to certain species of fish found
resting on them, but careful examina-
ton of the eggs shows that they really
belong to flying fish.
Apparently, however, the flying fish
do not make the nests themselves.
Each end of the egg of these fish is
furnished with punches Of very long
Elementary tendrils, and by means of
these the finely divided branches of
the Sargassum weed have been caught
together in globular masses. The eggs
may be said to have made their own
nest.-London Field.
