Three species OF fishes OF the sea.bass family
known as jew-hshes rang among the largest OF
the spiny-fnned fishes. They inhabit tropical
American waters and range as far north the
California and South Atlantic coasts. The spotted
Jewish (Promcrops itaiara) is common in the
West indies and reaches a weight of GOO pounds.
The black jewish (Garrupa nigrita), found from
South Carolina to Brazil, weighs 500 pounds The
California Jewish (Stereolepsis ggas). usually
called sea bass, sometimes attans a weight of 600
pounds and is one of the really great game fishes
of the country, being much sought by anglers in
southern California An experienced angler has
written: my largest fish weighed 276 pounds, and
/ was repeatedly almost jerked overheard by the
struggles Of the bass. | have seen 200-pound
fish snap the largest shark line like a thread, and
large specimens straighten out iron shark
hook; yet the skilled wielders of the rod catch
these giants OF the tribe with a line that is not
much larger than some eye-glass cords"
Among the rays several members which
reach colossal proportions. The largest and best
known of these is the so-caed "devihsh" MAN
Ia vampyrus) of our South Atlantic coast and the
tropical waters of America, which occasionally
strays far as Cape May and is comomn south
of Cape Hatteras. 1t is shaped like butterfly or
bat, and has been called the ocean vampire"
Projecting from either side of the head is horn
like appendage, which in reality Is detached
part OF the pectoral fin or wing" These horns,
to which the name "devil-fsh" owes its origin,
sometimes three feet long and are freely NOV
able, being used for bringing food to the mouth.
The mouth is peculiar in having teeth in the
upper jaw, while the lower jaw has about hun
dred rows of small paved teeth. Many years ago
the pursuit of the fish was favorite pastime of
the Carolina planters and William Elliott in his
Carolina Sports by Land and Water" said I'm
agine a monster from 10 to 20 feet across the
back full 3 feet In depth. possessed of powerful
yet flexible flaps wings with which he drives
himself furiously in the water vaults high in
the air." There well-authenticated instances
of this fish entaglng its horns In the anchor ropes
chains of small vessels and towing them rap
idly for long distances. to the mystication of the
people on board.
The expanse of body In this species Is greater
than in any other known animal. Examples 16
feet wide are common, and those 20 feet
across and over feet thick are not rare. The
maximum width is stated by authors to be 20 or
30 feet. One specimen, of which the writer had
a photograph, caught in Lapaz Bay, Mexico, many

One of the most prodisious and perhaps the
most formidable of sharks is the "man-oater' Gear
charodon carcharias). 1t roams through all tenn
perate and tropical and everywhere is an
object of dread. It's maximum length is 30 feet
and its teeth are inches long. While there
few authentic instances of sharks attacking human
beings, there have undoubtedly been many cases
where sharks simply swallowed people who had
fallen overheard just as they would swallow any
other food How easy it would be for man-eat-

The largest of all fishes. the largest of all cold
booded animals and the largest of all existing ami
mails with the exception of few species of whales,
is the whale shark (Rhneodon typicus), originally
described from Cape of Good Hope, but known
from India, Japan, South America. Panama Call
fornia and various other places, small specimen
having been obtained the Florida coast few
years ago This shark has a very broad and oh.
fuse snout and an exceedingly wide mouth armed
with numerous minute teeth; the dark oored body
is marked with many small whitish spots. The spe-
ces is stated to attain a length of 10 feet and is
known to exceed so feet. Notwithstanding its i'm
mense size, however, 1t is harmless to unless
attacked, and feeds the small creatures for

OF them are among the most elongate of fishes.
Imagine creature one foot high, three or four
inches thick and more than 20 feet long, with the
consistency of a wet towel and you will have some
idea of ribbon-fsh.
Our knowledge Of these fishes is due to
tivity on part of biologists In finding their habi

whence they picked up drift ashore. Nearly
all the specimens known have been found dead
dying, and few, II any, have been secured In deep
sea collecting apparatus. This suggests how frag-
mentary must be our knowledge of the larger ami
mails of the oceanic abyss and how possible 1t might
be for unknown monsters to exist there In abun-
dance.

serpent class although some deserve TO be con-
sidered as giants among cells. If any known fishes
may be suspected of aspiring to be sea-serpents,
surely they are the morays, although a sea-ser-
pent only 80 feet long would hardly satisfy pres
entday requirements, and no morays have yet
been recorded which were half long They
have, however, been known to exceed ten feet
in length, and they are among the most dreaded
OF fishes, having formidable teeth and showing a
disposition to attack men.
A fish of such peculiar form that the Italians
call It glola milestone and the Spaniards peg
luna ~ oon-fsh, is known to Americans and Eng
lish as the sun-nsh for it appears at the surface
of the ocean on bright days and spends many
hours basking listlessly in the SUM- sometimes ly-
ing fiat with side just out of the water, some
times with the back fin projecting like a buoy
above the surface. 1t is disk-shaped, its height
nearly equaling It's length, and 1t has long, mar
row fin on its upper and lower edges posteriorly,
and short, broad flap representing the caudal
fin; ~ eyes are large and its mouth small, and
takem altogether 1t is one Of the most grotesque
of fishes being apparently all head. OF almost
worldwide distribution its is particularly abun-
dant the southeastern coast of the United
States and on the California coast. IL swims but
little, being usually content to be drifted along
by the ocean currents. The Gulf Stream watts
many a sun-fish northward each summer so that
the species is not rarity off southern New Eng
land and l have seen number Of specimens that
had become stranded the coast OF Norway.
The fish is entirely harmless, and Is sluggish
and listless, and is such a conspicuous object at
sea, that it is easily approached and harpooned.
That the sun-ish deserves a place in the list
of giant fishes may be judged from the fact that
examples weighing 200 to 500 pounds not rare,
and that much larger ones occasionally met
with. THE largest known specimen, harpooned in
1893 at Redondo Beach, California, weighed 1900
pounds. On such a monster lying one side,
there would be room for 80 men to stand The
strong teeth, shaped like turtles beak, suggest
that hard-shelled animals constitute its food, but
as far as known jellyfsh are it's chief diet. The
extremely tough, fbrous skim several inches
thick, and the general coarseness OF structure
seem inconsistent with such delicate food

Ing Inherently improbable in it's being a giant
fish.
Who knows that primitive man may not have
been coeval with some formidable marine crea
lures now extinct, the tradition OF which has
come down through the ages and LETT its impress
on the mind Of the present generation? The avid
ATTY and credulity with which the general public
year after year receives newspaper accounts
which are purely fictitious or hang on slender
threads OF fact, portraying the capture sight
ing OF creatures Of impossible FORM show how
1rlnly established and deep-seated is the convic-
ton that the sea contains leviathans not yet
known to science. Every season yields q fresh
crop OF seaserpent stories and a series Of
grotesque pictures Of creatures which, if they real
~ existed would revolutioniZe IDEAS of the
animal kingdom. The writer has personally fol-
lowed TO their lairs two three of the most hor
rible monsters conceived by the vivid magma
ton OF the newspaper man, and found them to be
well-known animals with little to suggest the sea-
serpent.
AS to whether there really exists in the sea
coday strange monsters, scientists are not wholly
IN accord although negative view is held by
most OF them. The very circumstantal account of
the sighting of "sea-serpent" on the Asiatic
coast by the French gunboat Decdee few years
ago, as published in the journals at the time, will
perhaps weaken the belief of some intelligent
persons who have heretofore denied the POSSIBLE
sty of the existence at this day of ma

FOOTBALL 1910

In few days the football season
opens, under rules supposed to have
been revised 50 as to eliminate
in great measure the distressing
and fatal accidents which, in the
past, have marked the course of the
game.
Football is the most popular Of
college sports. If it had not been
the lives and limbs it has cost would
have eliminated it from our college
athletics long ago. 1t develops in
young men all the qualities which go
to make real man, and it is to be
hoped that the new rules will strip
the game of its distressing incidents.
Upon the result Of the changes these
rules work should depend the life or
death of the game. If the danger is
materially eliminated the game
which has done so much for Ameri-
can youth should live, but if the
same story of injury and death is to
be told over again after the 1910
season is closed, the game should
