From the Sycsmare True Republican
Flax Culture in Illinois,

Mr. r. Eiswood, Of this town, will start
on tour through some of the Eastern
states during the coming week, for the
purpose of visiting some of those large
manufactures established there within a
few years for the conversion of flax, and
with the purpose of inaugurating the cul-
ture OF fax on a large scale among our
neighbcriDg farmers by establishing ID
this place a large steam manuiactory
which shall make a market Tor all The
fax straw that our farmers can raise. he
expects to procure machinery that Will
tax. the fax as it GENES from the held
and thrash it. He will then pay stipu
a,ed nrice for seed and straw, and by the
machinery that he proposes to put in ope-
ration, will convert the straw, without ret
tins into the flax of commerce. There Is
NO doubt that if farmers can thus find a
GOOD market for both straw and seed, the
culture of flax will prove a highly remu.
nerative crop in this locality. Indeed
many of CUR farmers have done very well
bv raising 1t for the seeo alone 1t has
paid them much better profits than wheat.
we hope then that his project will NEE,
with the hearty encouragement and CO
operation of our agricuturalists, and that
tha large outlay which Mr.. E is Obliged
to make will be made profitable to himself
as we are confident it will be to the fax
growers.

Diving for Sponges.

II Lanliral, who recently returned from
a mission 10 the coast of Syria TO obtain
sponges for lran.plantation and expert
ments in acciimati.ation, gives some inter
estiEg particulars OF the sponge fishing
near Trlpoli, on the Syrian coast. NJ.
Lamiral iistin suishes three kinds of spon-
Ces for which there is a demand, the fine
and soft sponge, called 15i1nd, the fine and
hard sort, called Ccha,Gr, and lastly the
common sort. called caJar by the Arabs.
These sponges are found in the Levant
within the Goth and SD degrees of latitude
this is between AieXandretta and Salda.
IL Lan-iral describes as follows the man
1er in which the Syrian diver performs
his duties: Af.sr saylug his prayers, he
sauats down naked on the g;lnwall of the
boat, with net used for pocket round
his aeck, and piece of marble, shaped

man in the boat meanwhile holes the
rope, and as soon as he feels it shake, he
gives the signal to two of his comrades to
haul up the diver. This is done with such
rapidity that the latter at once appears
above the surface with half his body out
of the water Quite exhausted, he clings
to the boats side a comrade then sup
ports him BY the wrist until he has reiiev-
