Germany as a Naval Power.

Germany's growth as a naval power
OF Importance dates solely within the
last ten years. During the Danish
campaign Germany could only COM
mand seven war vessels and fifteen gun
boats; yet, though reorganization was
warmly discussed, little was actually
done in the matter until the Reichstag
voted the necessary funds in 1878: Now
the German war-feet musters fourteen
fine ironclads, twenty-one corvettes,
fourteen armored and ten ordinary gun
boats, sixteen torpedo vessels, eight
boats and seven steam and
four sailing transports. Further, thirty
five vessels, ranging from monitors to

The chief naval port, Wilhelmshaven,

FROM tne new 1Ork Orapnlc.
We have chronicled the history of
nine political administrations, witnessed
the birth and death of political parties,
and passed through terrible civil war
and four financial strains, and establish
ed the best banking system in the world.
The great republic in the meantime has
grown from 23,000,0 900 to 100000
people, and in material wealth from 81,
400, ,000, 900, or 1920 per inhabitant, to
S57, 900, 000,090, or about 81 900 per
inhabitant. When the great National
Monument was begun Great Britain
possessed five times the wealth owned
by the United States, and while the
wealth of the former country has only
doubled within the past four decades,
that of the latter has increased twelve
fold. As to the constituent factors of
American progress in their aggregate
in the four decades they are sufficient
to buy up the whole Austrian Empire
several times over, or pay for the ag- |
yregate value of the 'effete" monarchies |
If Italy. Holland and Belgium almost
hree times over during that period.

sponges.

Florida Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer
One of the sights of the Florida reef
is the sponger. He is generally conch
from Conchtown, Key West, and de-
votes his entire time to the business of
fishing up the repulsive objects called
sponges. This is done chiefly with
hooks or spears, the boat drifting along
until sponge is sighted, when it is
hooked or speared, and jerked from its
stronghold upon the bottom. When the
water is too deep for the hooking pro-
cess, the sponger goes overheard and
dives to the sponge, by main force tear
ing it from the bottom. The sponges
taken from this section are not
the delicate toilet sponges, being a diff
ferent grade, and only used for coarse
work. They grow to large size,
some measuring three feet across and
two high, and when active present
anything but an attractive appearance.
A good healthy sponge looks as it comes
to the surface like great beef's liver,
and the odor is spongy-no other word
describes it. When a load of these
aromatic flowers of the ocean is secured,
they are taken down to Key West or
may be cured on some of the keys. This
consists of allowing them to remain in
the sun until thoroughly decayed, and
then treating them to repeated .rinsings,
until the animal matter is entirely re-
moved. They are then placed in the
sun to bleach, and in this stage are seen
covering the fences in Conchtown.
Later they are subjected to several pro-
cesses, one of which in some cases is
sanding. This is more common in the
toilet sponge from the Mediterranean.
Shake one and you will find that quite
a deposit of fine sand escapes. This was
not eaten or absorbed by the sponge
when alive, as you might suppose, but
is process by which the sponge is in
creased, and, as they sell by the pound,
the object is evident.
The tricks that the guileless sponge
dealer is not up to are not worth chron-
icling. Some time ago young man
was sent to sponge locality to buy
sponges for firm who was going to
a new article that required
arge quantities, and it was found that
,he young man paid as much for water
ind coral rock as he did for sponge
Better sponges are found in the Ba-
lamas than on the Florida reef, and the
though in the hands of few.
S valuable one. The majority of
'eople have peculiar ideas regarding
he sponge. Some think it an insect,
thers plant. 1t is, however, sim
lie animal, composed of many cells,
bat are arranged in three layers, the
liddle one screting the lime or silex,
s the case may be, that goas to form
he skeleton of the animal.
