Show A Fish Willi a ltubber Corset. Forest and Stream speaks of a curious find in the Cape Ann fish market at Gloucester, Mass. It was nothing lesa than a mackerel with a rubber bsn2 around the body. The baud had been put on the fish when quite small and staid tVre in spite of the rapid growth of the wearer. The fish's body under the band did not grow, which caused a depression de-pression in the full grown body of about 3 inches in depth. The depression was covered with a healthy skin in no way nnlike that on the rest of the body. The fish measured in length 14 inches, diameter di-ameter of body each side of the depression, depres-sion, li inches; diameter of depres- j sion, 5 inches. The fish was undoubtedly undoubted-ly in a healthy condition, and the band was sound and could be stretched like any other band. |
