CURIOUS FISH

The COW pilot is so named because
1t always accompanies the COW fish.
A species of Columbia river salmon
liz equipped with two mouths, each OF
which contains teeth.
The puffer, one of the most curious
OF fishes, is able to initiate its stomach
like balloon.
The eel has two separate hearts.
One beats sixty and the other 12O
times a minute.
The angler, or fishing frog, with its
mouth almost as wide as its body Is
long, is one of the very queerest Of
fishes. It's appetite is enormous; for
in the stomach of one as many as sew
enty-five herrings were found.
The periOpthalmus, common on the
shores Of Indian and Australian seas,
frequents roots Of trees. When at rest
1t lies with its body out OF the water,
the tail only being immersed, and it
goes ashore in search of food.
The callicthys, found in the rivers of
tropical America and the West Indies,
cannot live for more than a quarter of
an hour under water, and has to rise
to the surface to breathe. 1t has been
known to live for days entirely out Of
water.
In South African waters swims a.,
fish something like a toad, and re-
joicing in the name of billy-bIowup.
This is derived from its practice OF
putting itself out when caught. An
other Of its peculiarities is that OF
being poisonous.
