The Sea Mouse. —The Sea Mouse is one of the prettiest creatures that live under the water. ' It sparkles like a diamond and is radiant with all the colors of the rainbow, although it lives in the bottom of the ocean. It should not have been called a mouse, for it is larger than a big rat. It is covered with scales that move up and down as it breathes, and glitters, like gold shining through a flooky down, from which fine silky bristles wave that’ constantly change from one brilliant tint into another, so that, as Cuvier, the great naturalist, says, the plumage of the hummingbird is not more beautiful. Sea Mice are sometimes thrown up on the beach by storms.
