An Odd Fish--The Sea Horse

II mermails were no bigger than some fairies,
they might have horses to ride. The sea horses
are creatures familiar enough, though most people
have never seen one alive. Summer visitors ut
the seashore find them for %sale-very dead, and
,1lried--at shops that specialize In marine curios.
The sea horse (naturalists say) Is one Of the
most ancient Of fishes. 1t Is one OF natures
oldest imitations--a "camoufiage," so to speak.
II has a hOrsclike head, and Its body Is so
SHAPED ms to resemble the neck OF that qundrt.
ned. But really, when one comes to examine 1t,
the tking It counterfeits Is the Knight" piece Of
the chessboard.
The sen horse has d tubelike snout, Mt the end
Of which are the mouth and jaws. Its head Is
topped hy n sort of coronet. Glad In n complete
suit of nrmOr plates, II cannot flex its body like
other fishes, and its lnless tail Is Of no use for
lOcomOtion.
II feeds on small shrimps and other crusta.
cenns. Occasionally, uncoiling Its tail from the
supporting plant. It swims slowly, not like othev
fishes. hut always in Il vertical position, Its back

Like other fishes, the sea horse possesses an
uir.bladdcr, which Is always distended by a guam
tity Of gus 90 exactly adjusted for equilibrium
TINT, n a single bubble no larger than the head
Of n small pin he extracted, the creature falls t
the bottom and must crawl about until the wonnt
IL healed and a fresh supply Of gas has beer
secreted.
But The most remarkable point about the sci
horse IA that the male Ii provided with nm ex
ternnl stomach.pouch, In which. at the mating sea
son, the female deposits her eggs. The linlnI
membrane Of the pouch secretes n nutritious huit
on which the Young. when Matched, are fed. Whei
they are big enough to take care Of themselves

Wrinkle shell or some other convenient object. an
by this means forces them out into the water.
