GLASS SPONGES.

One of the Most Wonderful Productions
OF tho Sen.
ST. Louis Republic
Did you ever carefully examine one of the
so-called glass sponges~ The most deli
cate and beautiful Of these. perhaps, is the
Venus Flower Basket" which is found
only In the deep sea near the Philippine
Islands. 1t looks for all the world like
spun glass woven into an intricate pattern,
and Is so delicate and exquisite that one can
hardly believe IL TO be nothing but the skele-
ton of sponge. This particular species of
sponge Is composed OF bands of spicules
running lengthwiSe from end to end, with
cross bands intersecting at right angles
Before they are thoroughly skeletonized the
corners Of the squares formed by the cross
bands are filed with brown ielly-like sub
stance. which reduces The spaces to little
tube-like holes.
The edges of these little holes project
slightly above the general surface of the
sponge and give 1t the appearance OF being
dotted with miniature volcanic craters
The ridges, instead of having their sur
faces made mp OF a continuous CLASSY skele-
ton, have their soft substances supported
by whole multitudes of delicate microscopic
six-rayed spicules. In some instances these
fragile spicules seem TO be supported. or at
least held in place, by little hooked stars
and rosettes. In its natural state the whole
OF the Venus Flower Basket Is covered
with fine hairs, the mouth being kept closed
ov net OF fine glass-like needles. Captain
Slmmons men found the flower basket
fastened to rock by handle carefully at
tacheo TO the basket in four different places.
