FISH THAT FELL UPW ARD.
(From thes Lon Ion Standard

According to Sir John Murray. one
Of the greatest authorities on oceanog-
raphy, the bottom Of the sea Is a desert
Of pitch black darkness. generating cold
and eternal silence. Worms. sea puddines
and coral noyps slugCishly crawl or
sway in the almost currcntless depths.
and only two species OF fish. both Of them
small. with much head and little body,
have been found deeper than a mile and
a quarter down.
The range of fishes in the sea is as
though it were divided into LAYERS. one
above the other, and no FISH can live
above or below his layer. Thus many of
the deeper fsh--three quarters of a mile
below the surface-have been found float
ing at the top; they had swallowed "A fish
as large or larger than themselves and its
buoyancy had lifted them out of the
strata to which they We're accustomed
The physiology of a bottom Ash Is al
most impossible to know, because they
are built to resist a tremendous pressure
Of water, and Chen this pressure Is re-
leasedas when they are brought to the
surface in a net-sometimes the fish has
burst. the organs are crushed beyond re-
construction.
Similarly II a fish of higher strata at
lacks a bottom fish in the neutral zone
where both can live, and-as sometimes
happens-his teeth become entangled so
that he cannot let go and he is dragged
into deeper water. he strangles instantly,
for his breathing arrangements are OF no
use tn him under the pressure of water in
the lower strata of the sea. AS rule,
however, the fish of the various depths
rarely feed on those above or below
them.
There has been brought to light an as
tonishing number OF forms of fish, and
especially OF prawns of a brilliant red
color, living In the ocean at depth of
3,hD feet But astonishing as 1t may
seem, these brilliantly colored fish ana
rrawns instead of being conspicuous in
the water at that depth are almost lnvls-
ihle, when almost any other color could
be easily seen,

A RIVER AND A CITY.


6From the Louisville Courier Journal J
Many stories have been told of the &C.
centricities Of the Missouri river and how
that fretful stream has made and unmade
towns by It's peculiar methods of chang
ing its channel
A dispatch from Omaha tells an interest
ing story Of the rise and fall of Rock
port, once promising western town.
Rockport. according to the story, was in
existence before Fort Dearborn was built:
before Chicago was thought of: before
Council Bluffs, Kansas City and Leaven-
worth were put on the map "steamboa $
which only whstled at Omaha, stopped at
Rockport for supplies" Military exped-
tons made headquarters there. industries
sprung zip and Rockport apparently had
the making Of a metropolis
About 10 years ago, however, the Mis-
souri, river decided to move. 1t did not
exactly pick up its bed and walk, but
II switched its channel and took a short
cut across the country. leaving Rockport
high and dry five miles away. The town
was literally ruined. The trading posts
were moved away. The stores, hotels and
small industries quit business gradually
and the citizens moved to other localities.
Many OF the residences were taken to
farms In the surrounding country and
eventually Rocport was entirely deserted
Now. the Omaha dispatch relates, the
river has shifted again. but the change
was made gradually and not In a single
night, as was the "a SO three-ouarters of a
century ago. For some years past the
