An Odd Fish..The Sea Horse

If mermaids no bigger than some fairies,
they might have horses to ride. The sea horses
creatures familiar enough, though most people
have never alive. Summer visitors at
the seashore find them for sale-very dead, and
dried-at shops that specialize in marine curios
The sea horse (naturalists say) is Of the
most ancient of fishes. 1t is one of natures

1t has horselike head. and It's body Is SO

the thing 1t cOunterfeits Is the knight piece Of
the chessboard.
The sea horse has a tubelike snout, at the end
of which are the mouth and jaws. Its head 10
topped by a sort Of coronet. Clad in n complete
suit of armor plates, it cannot fex its body like
other fishes and its fnless tail is Of no use for
ocomotion
1t feeds on small shr1mps and other crusta
ceans. Occasionally, uncoiling its tail from the
supporting plant. 1t swims slowly. not like other
fin vibrating rapidly.
Like other fishes, the sea horse possesses an
air-badder, which is always distended by a GUAM
tity Of gas exactly adjusted for equilibrium

Of small pin be extracted, the creature falls to
the bottom and must crawl about until the wound
is healed and fresh supply of gas has been
secreted.
But the most remarkable point about the sen
horse is that the male Is provided with an ex-
terna stomach-pouch, in which, at the mating sea
son. the female deposits her eggs The lining
membrane of the pouch secretes a nutritious fluid
on which the young when Matched, fed When

This in itself is very interesting fact, because
