The "Portugusss Man of-war" to a
Veritable Fairy Ship.
Tbe "Portuguese tmin-of war“ 1» held
to be one of the mint lieautlful of all
the ao culled pelagic animals xud to a
veritable fairy ship, with sail that can
lie elevated or lowered, that can throw
out a dredge or haul It lu—In short,
one of tbe most attractive of all urn
rine animals and at tbe same time one
of tbe most dangerous.
This little animal has been called a
"poem In satin.” yet it conceals under
Its attractive exterior on armament
that to capable of overpowering a foe
of a thousand times its size in fact,
tbe pbysulla stands In the same rela
yion to many other marine animals of
Its size as a well fitted torpedo subma
rine boat would to an old line of bat
tle ship of the Constitution class.
If one but touch the purple tentacles
a realizing sense of this power is at
once experienced. The finger stings
as If needles had been thrust into it,
and when tbe tentacles are placed
upon a spot where the flesh Is sensitive
the pain can only be compared to that
produced by melted lend or boiling oil.
One scientist nearly lost his life In
nn engagement with the little craft.
The man had a habit of swimming on
Ids side, an unfortunate habit In this
case. Inasmuch as his view to the right
was obstructed when one day he swum
over the tentacles of a large "man-of-
war.” He was In about seven feet of
water, and the contact immediately
gave the swimmer such a Hhock that
be almost lost tbe power of motion
und sank.
As lie struck bottom with bls feet he
pushed up and partially recovered him
self—sufficiently nt least to call for
help. Some laborers at work near by
sprang Into the water and carried him
ashore By that time he could breathe
only with extreme difficulty, this being
the most serious symptom. The pur
ple mass wus scraped from the skin
with knives and razors, but It seemed
to have sunk into the flesh. For six
or seven months afterward he could
very readily have passed for a tattooed
man. the entire middle and lower por
tion of his body being covered with
tbe most fanciful tracings.—Harper’s.
