Spanges are used in many ways-in homes and ini institutions-and it is well ta learn what we can about such a familiar and very useful article. How manyl folk can sta te where and how sponges1 grow and howv obtained? We shal try ta present some useful factsi gleaned f rom World Wide wh states that thase persans who hav ceased to bathe with spangesan denied their off spring the pleasure of battles with them in the bath- room-those persons and doubtless many others, must be unacquainted, with the story of the sponge. It is a story f ull or romance. Mare. it, unfolds information of one of the' little-known million-dollar industriesi of the country, which has its centre in Tarpon Springs, Fla. This lttle tawn nestles around an enormous clear spring, as large as ai lake, known as Spring Bayou. We Iare told that f rom this beautiful van- tage point early in January everyý year the Feast of the Epiphany is celebrated, the head of the Greeki Church in North and South America, Archbishop Alexander, coming f romn New York ta bless the waters fiowing into the Gulf, which carry the sponge fishermen out ta sea for the annual "big catch." Spange fishermen work on a co- operative plan. Mfter the cost of the trip is deducted f rom the money received for the catch. the balance is divided among the men. The divers receive two shares ta the sailors' one, as their wark is much more hazard- ous. Spange sales at Tarpon Springs total araund $1.000.000 every year and, with the încreased tarif., will amount ta much more, as quite a boost in price is expected. Several of the Grecian families are camfort- ably well-to-do. Spange divers go down ta sea in full diver's uniform. The presence of many sharks and the vast increase in the industry brought about this innovatian. The sharks exhibit a lively curiosity over the strange creatures from above, but the bal- loon-like costume o! the diver and the bubbles caused by escaping airi seem ta !righten them. An extra jut of air will usually send them scuttling. Octopi. however. f requent- ly attac'k the divers. Then the sharp rknives with which the men cut the sponges f rom will be nearly seventy feet long, and a Fin whale about six- ty f eet long. The diver's task includes many other dangers. The tangling of an air-line, the fouling of a pump may cost his if e at any time. and too rapid ascent or descent may give him the disease known as 'the bends." The diver releases the used air f rom a valve at the back of his helmet to allow the entry of f resh air being Pumped in from above. and if the diver is too long in giving his signal for hoisting ta the boat he is often brought up temporarily paralyzed f rom the Pressure of the water or unconsciaus f ram the fouling of the air-line. He can usually be revived by a vigaraus slap on the head and a gaad shaking. Fatalities are rare. 1 . .4 When working the deeper sponge lanes six divers are used ta, a boat, each one going down once an hour and remaining not more than ten minutes. Each diver has his own suit and each boat two helmets and two collars s0 that they may work f ast. As one civer emerges from the water and reaches the top o! the ladder attached ta, the boat's side, the helmet is removed and placed on the head ofthe man next i lUne. He disappears at once overboard, carrying a sharp, three pronged fork or rake, with which he cuts and grapples the sponge from Its resting place. He draps It into a large string basket suspended at his side. Sponges are a humble form o! marine animal lu e and appear under1 the water as masses o! dark gelatin- ous formation and attract the at- tention a! the diver by the expansion1 and contraction a! the ceils. The1 dlean waters o! the Florida GuI! Coast allow the bright sunshine toi filter down. bringing into sof t radi-1 ance the plant and animal lufe, al- tagether formlng a f airyland o! rare beauty and taterest. 110W DID YOU FACE 17? 1 Did you meet that trauble that camel your way L1With a resolute heart or fearful?
