Ad na's Expedition th Colorad.o.
A Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune writes: "Colonel
Sam tel A.dains, whd has spent the bet-
-ter put of the past four years in ex-
plor• tions up the Colorado River and
throt gh thewildest portions of the far
soutl west, has just returned from
anal er eepedition, the most dangert3us
and itlicult yet undertaken. He ar-
rived here last night, and submitted an
extei ded 'report of his dtecbveries to the
Gove•eunent. His party consisten of
'e!eve men beside -himself, mitt all the
ex pet ses of the expedition, incl u ding
the c et of the boats, cenveyance, instru-

turb the fish very little; and as the
whole is over much sooner than the dy-
ing struggles of a hooked fish, we may
claim the right to -Make he • sacrifice

as it. occurs by no means every Friday.
We hieve learned? that a fish cannot
swine. without its tail. Let 118 now in.-
luire. how it swims with it. Very
much as you steal a, boat with an oter
but 'with the difference that in this case
the oar is a pea of the boat, and is;
flekible • both in its length and in its°
height.
Let ns suppose our fieli fleeting at
rest in the water. Its. tail is extended
stiaight behind the body; suddenly it,
is bent to one side ; this of course
tarne_the head toward the seine side;
and eerhaps carries the fish a little
backward ; butenow collies a more -far-
e.bie backward stroke of the tail, which -
turns the head the other way and
pels the. fish forward. Then, hav
reached tho middle line, it is ,ge
benteto the' other side, and again
ribly extended. The resulkof these
tet nate movements of the tail in Op
site directions is, as in the sculling
a boat, to propel the fish forward,
'in .a straight but a zig-zeg direeti
But the successive movements are
rapid that We not -ice only the reeealt;

sties, as the salmon, at therate of tw
ty or twenty-five milee an hone, and
poWerful that the sword -fish has be

that upon reaching the middle line it
narrowed and made convex fot the for-

Those fishes which have scales over-
lapping each Othwr. are aided in Still e.
fifth way ; for in the forward stroke the
.scales upon that siide of the tail would
be- flattened closfsly together so as to
present a plane 'surface ; but ins the
backward stroke the edges of the scales
-would be raised a. little from thebend
