her glance occasionally wandering out

Fantastic Fish.

The smallest perfectly organized
fishes in the world are believed to be
the tiny minnows which are native to
the little streams in the Everglades of
Florida. They are greensh in color and
are prettily speckled with jet black.
The largest fish is the shark, which
frequently attains a length of thirty
five feet, floating upon the water like
log. This is the only fish which pos
| sesses any brain and is, therefore, the
highest order of piscatorial creatures
1t should be remembered that the
whale is not a fish. The lowest order
is the lancelot, a fish the size and
shape of toothpick. 1t is translucent
and scaleless, almost finless, and bur-
rows in warm sand. 1t has no real
bone, just tissue. 1t is vertebrate re-
I duced to its lowest terms. 1t possesses
larteries, gills and stomach, all extreme
| ly diminutive.
The most unusual organism possessed
by any fish is the seeing apparatus of
the sole. 1t has two eye sockets, but
one of them has no eye. The other
contains two eyes bulging out as
though both We're misplaced, SO that it

complete with six separate circles

This automatic coach is ever ready
to repeat the instruction or the count

far toward overcoming the terror of
the practice hour to the youngster who
has found it difficult to secure the re-
quired rhythmic time.
