tears with their borrowed CTusts. The mar

them within the brief space OF a few weeks
and be sure that they will treasure them up.

SP 'NGE.-The sponge business is largely pur-
sued at the Bahama Islands. The exports of this
article amount annually to about 5000 ,0OG. 1t
is almost entirely the growth of the last twenty
years During that period, the article has almost
quadrupled IN value, and has been applied to q
great variety ofnew purposes, especially in France.
This sponge is compressed in powerful presses,
and sacked like cotton. 1t is assorted and grad
I'd, samples being fastened on each package to
show its fibre. 1t Is fshed, or raked, or grappled
up from the clear sandy bottom. at the depth of
twenty, forty or sixty feet, and often far from the
shore. The water is SO transparent that the grow
ing sponge is visible on the bottom.
The sponge is the covering. the habitation of
the lowest order of animal nature. Indeed or
ganization can hardly be- detected in the animal.
When first taken from the water, the sponge is
black, and at once becomes offensive 10 the smell;
it will almost cause the flesh it touches to blister.
The first process is to bury it in the sand, where
il remains for two or three weeks, when the
gelatinous animal matter seems TO be absorbed
and destroyed, or eaten by the insects that swarm
In the sand. The boatman who obtain it, are
paid in shares by the owners of the boats.
