FOREST AND STREAM PUBLISHING CO. 
which I have seen inhabiting this huge coral 
reef, I would more than likely be taken for a 
romancer. It is there that one meets the 
gaudily striped and barred scaly-finned fishes 
that live and have their daily being in a world 
of color. The animals themselves and the sea¬ 
weeds are most brilliantly hued; hence the 
fishes that lurk in these entrancing coral pools 
resemble their environment, so that they will 
more readily escape detection, by enemies on 
the one hand, and on the other, by those crea¬ 
tures which they themselves are ever on the 
alert to seize for food. A noteworthy fact is 
that the colors of birds and fish are more 
brilliant in the tropics than in more temperate 
zones. The calls of tropical birds are harsher 
and less euphonious than the birds of the colder 
climes; while, with the fish, the flesh is coarser 
in tropical waters, but is more palatable and 
richer in the frigid zone. 
Sometimes the rule that the male is more 
brilliantly colored than the female does not 
hold good. Whenever this occurs the male 
undertakes the duties of incubation and thus, 
as before mentioned, the sombre coloration 
enhances both the safety of the brooding bird 
or fish as well as its offspring or egg as the 
case may be. In some cases, however, where 
shelter is difficult, both male and female are of 
a color that renders them inconspicuous and 
difficult to detect in their environment. Some 
species, too, adopt a seasonal coloration,. and 
change with the color of their surroundings, as 
it changes at different times of the year. There 
are, however, cases where the protective colora¬ 
tion is greatly aided by posturing on the part 
of the creature. The resemblance of both birds 
and fishes to their normal surroundings is 
called adaptation to environment. Those birds 
and fishes that pass their time in mid-air or 
mid-water have their under parts of a light 
color, and when viewed from below they re¬ 
semble the sky or the water which is brighter 
toward the sky when viewed from below, while 
their dorsal or back surface is of a dark hue, 
rendering them like the color of the under¬ 
neath surroundings. With the immature young 
of both birds and fish, the coloration of their 
coat is of a sombre inconspicuous hue, render¬ 
ing them less susceptible to the attacks of their 
enemies. 
[to be concluded.] 
FOUND IN FISHES. 
In the National Museum at Washington is a 
curious collection of objects taken from the 
stomachs and flesh of fish, ranging in variety 
from a first-rate euchre hand to stones and 
strange knives, one of the latter being taken 
from the thick “meat” of a big cod. 
Mrs. Harriet Condit, a colored woman, 
bought some herrings the other day, and upon 
cleaning one of them she found imbedded paral¬ 
lel with the backbone a gold bar, evidently be¬ 
longing to a lady’s pin. It is set with a moon¬ 
stone about one-half inch long in the center, 
and at each end a large pearl about the size 
around of a lead pencil. It was valued by a 
local jeweler at about $40. 
While out fishing recently about three miles 
from the land, at Digby, N. S., G. A. Thurber 
caught a large haddock, which, upon being 
thrown into the boat, gave up a solid gold 
brooch. The valuable pin, together with the 
large number of fish, made a very successful 
day for the genial captain. Hartford Post.
