In this deep-sea fish the head
glows with a soft light, while
the body is dark.
BY GARRETT p. SERVISs.


The earth has no stranger inhabitants
than the Matchmaking fishes of the deep
sea. They are the remote and scattered
descendants of the ocean which ages ago
we're driven into the depths, where the
darkness, the pressure and the scarcity
Of the ordinary necessities Of fish life
arrested the pursuit Of their ravenous
enemies,
They may be likened, In their situation
and in the pecuharities which distinguish
them, TO the remnants OF ancient races
OF men chased. like the native Britons
and the indigenous inhabitants of. north
ern Spain. into corners and upon noun
tain heights.
1t is important TO sc this fact clearly
into the mind, for the popular SUPPOSE
ton that the deep-sea fishes originated
where they are now found is erroneous
They have become adapted to conditions
OF life entirely different from those in
which their remote ancestors we're ac-
customed.
This is shown by the curious adj
justments, atrophies and DEVELOPMENTS
which their sense organs and the struc-
ture of their bodies have undergone.
They no doubt originated in the shallow
waters along shores and coasts like other
fishes, and when the struggle for ex-
istence with stronger tribes became too
pressing they fled. in the only direction

There are two controlling circumstances

of a few hundred feet there lie practically

"Ah, well, there is little hope for
us so long as you have to drudge
along on thirty-f1Ve," sighed his wife,
wistfully.
They had been married two years,
and ever since their honeymoon they
had lived at Mrs. Smiths. 1t was
high-class boarding house, and really
they were very comfortable there.
The meals were excellent, they were
conveniently situated in short, they
could hardly have been better fixed
for the price they were paying. And
yet the vision of country home, sit
uated among stately trees, beside a
noble river, had begun to work insid-
iously upon them, as it so often does
upon the imaginations Of the newly
married.
Their dreams were of short dura-
ton. Harold came home two nights
later and solemnly kissed Margaret.
He took her by the shoulders and
looked into her eyes.
Can you bear bad news, dear?" he
inquired.
cts about the positionp' gasped
his wife, and Harold nodded.
1--WE lost it, Margie. It was given
to Jones this afternoon. The boss
said he would have liked to have put
me into it, but he thought l lacked
experience"

"and we nearly quarreled about how
we would build our home, when all
the time there wasn't any more
chance of our living in the country
than of going to live on the -. the
moon"

was about three weeks after this epi-
sode when Margaret received visit
from a brisk little man with a pro-
nounced English accent, who was
closeted wit her for nearly an hour.
He had been gone only ten minutes
when Harold entered. His wife threw
herself into his arms.
Harold" she cried, what do you
think? You remember my Uncle
Henry, who always said he wouldn't
leave me a penny if l married you,
because he didn't like your being a
Presbyterian? Well, he's dead and
he's left me $30,00Or
1t took several minutes to convince
Harold of her earnestness.
We'll have our home for sure now,

"Yes," answered Harold gleefully.
"And as a sort of farewell to Broad

They had never been greatly set

were about to remove themselves

resignation mingled with their con-

city. So much so, in fact, that the
night saw them at the theater, and
the next also-and the next.
Harold, what do you think of liV-

garet few nights later. There is a
fine site to be sold, and thought we

But, Margie, you forgot that we
