THE SPONGE FISHERIES OF THE
BAHAMAS.
By J. F. CooNLEY.

The Sponge fisheries of the Bahamas
cover q large extent of territory, give EN-.
plOyment to about six thousand men and
boys, and are q source of revenue to the
colony larger than any other industry pur-
sued there. There are 10 seasons of the
year but sponges may be taken, and are
taken, by the men engaged in the pursuit.
Sponges are always plenty at one place or
another around these islands. They are
always growing, and the supply is never
short if they are sought for in the right lOca-
lities. There is also always q lively demand
for good sponges; and at prices that are not
liable 10 change materially from year to
year.. The quantity shipped from these is
lands during tue year 1890 was 623,317
pounds, the local value of which amounted
to A31 500. / have often asked this cues
ton: What becomes of all the sponges ?
The immense quantities sent from here
eeem more than enough TO supply the world,
yet outside OF the sponge producing region,
we see' very few, if any, going to waste.
Whatever becomes of them, the demand is
about the same from year to year, the sup
ply never fails, aud prices maintain a very
even scale.
There are about $50 sehooners and sIoops
of from 5 TO 90 tona and about $500 open
boats engaged in the fisheries, giving con-
slant employment to the 5000 men and
boys engaged. These employees are all
cOlored, mostly natives Of the islands, and
follow this industry all their lives; in most
instances commencing as boys, growing up
in it to m anhood, and continuing at it as
long as they are able to stand the fatigue
and lab our. A number of small open boats
besides these attached tothe vessels accom-
pany the craft. 0The owners of these give a
share of the proceeds Of the sponge they
obtain to the owners cf the vessels for

ANOTHER RAIN PRODUCER.

In the scientific American for September 5,
1891, we published an extract from q u. S.
patent granted for producing rain by explo-
sive balloons. 1t now appears that a patent
was granted. in Austria on January Is, 1874,
for what is termed an apparatus for dis
charging electricity from hail clouds" After
describing the theory of the formation Of
hail, the patentee says that if a balloon arm
ed with metal points or covered with metal
is sent up into a lower hail cloud charg-
ed with electricity, the latter passes to earth
by the copper WIRE which holds the balloon
captive, 'and the mo- sture in the cloud does
not CONCEAL but drops to earth in the form of
rain. The drawing annexed to the patent
shows a balloon with metallic points and q
windlass on which is coiIed the wire or cable
for forming the ground connection and raising
and lowering the balloon,-Hbid.

A Steamer which can be propelled on land
by means of it's own engine has just been cons
structed at the L~junggren Engineering Works
at Kristiansstad, in Sweden. 1t is intended
for the traffic on two lakes close to Boras,
which, however, are separated by a strip of
land. Rails nave been laid between the two
lakes. The steamer, which has been chris
tened very appropriately Svanen (the Swan

Referring to the question -" whether
squirrels are torpid in winter" Mr.. c..
Fitzgerald writes in the December number
OF the Zoologist that, during many winters
passed in the backwoods of North America,
he has seen squirrels trisking among the
trees in the coolest weather, On bright
sunny days especially they delight in
chasing each other from tree to tree among
the evergreens, and cover the snow with
their tracks. The young of the ordinary
red squirrel are born early in the spring.
The "Chipmunks," or little striped
ground squirrels, lay up in the autumn a
store of provisions of grains, nuts, SC, for
winter, and on fine days may be- seen
summing themselves. Mr.. Fitzgerald has
on several occasions come across their
boards, aud once saw two large bucketsfut
of sheled b%uckwheat taken from the hollow
of an old birch tree that the woodmen bad
chopped down on the edge Of a clearing
which had been cropped the previous sum
mer with that grain.

Mr.. Carl Lumholtz contributes to the cur
rent Bulletin Of the American Geographical
Society a very interesting report on his
exploration in Northern Mexico. The. most
remarkable caves he met with were at the
head of the Piedras Verdes River. $3.50 feet
above sea.level. These caves contain groups
of deserted houses or small villages, and the
houses are splendidly made Of porphyry pulp,
and show that the inhabitants had attained
a comparatively high culture. The dwellings,
We're sometimes three stories in height, with
small windows, and doors made in the form
of a cross and occasionally there We're stone
staircases. The caves, which number about
fifty in a stretch of twenty miles, are from
100 to 900 feet above the bottom OF the canon,
and the largest is some fifty feet high. One
series Of them, on the shady side of the canon,
had been reserved for burial places. Here at
the depth of three feet Mr.. Lumholtz dug out
a number of bodies in a wonderful state Of
preservation, the Saltpetre which is mixed
with the disintegrated rock having for centu-
ries preserved them, making them look like
mummies. Several had their features, hair,
and eyebrows perfect, and these were photo
graphed. The hair is very slightly wavy,
and softer than that of the ordinary Indian,
almost silky in fact. They were small people,
and reminded Mr.. Lumholtz strikingly of the
present Moqui village Indians. The Moquis
like the Zunis, have a tradition that they
came from the south. The same district
abounds in mounds, some of which are very
large. Mr.. Lumholtz thinks that an explorer
might find in these mounds a fine field for
investigation. With his own limited force
Of men he was not able to make as extensive
excavations as he wished to make but still,
a good deal Of work was done He unearthed
a great many polished stone implements,
about 500 jars, most of them decorated, and
some in very odd shapes, and several speci-
mems of a big stonewheel, and a stone cylin-
der fitting into il, probably used for some sort
of game. The mounds contain houses, and,
as usual, most Of the relics are found near the
dead bodies, which are always buried under
the floor, partly under the wall. These
people must have been there before the %Iarrival
of 1.-THE cave and cliff jewellers, but who they
were it would not yet be safe to say.

him to chair in the barroom and then
relieved him of his purse, which con-.
tanned 81 in bills. st. John dill not like

Officer Mccarthy appeared and was
notified OF what had happened, and,
after half-hour'S search, located st.

toned on his hand. He was taken to

recommendation from Chicago crockery

found i'll his possession. He also bore a

PAPER WAS SPURIOUS.
A Printer From Superior Fails to
Cash a Bogus Check.

e. A. Abbott, a printer. was arrested
last evening while attempting to pass
forged check for $3.50 bearing the sig
nature of William l.. Banning Jr., of
the Banning printing house. He en-
tered Andrew Lauer's saloon, at SIT
Wabasha street, and asked MIR. Lauer
to cash the check for him. Mr.. Lauer
had cashed small checks for HIM on sew
eral occasions, but did not like the ap-
pearance of the one presented last
evening, which was drawn on the Ger
mania bank. Abbott explained the
largeness Of the amount by stating that
he had been employed at Bannlng's for
some time, and had been saving his
money. Lauer was suspicious, and, I'M
awares to Abbott, sent a waiter to see
MIR. Banning, who promptly denied and
knowledge of the check. and summoned
Officer Banker, who arrested the young
man before he had left the saloon.
Abbott came to st. Paul about two
months ago from West Superior, where
for long time he held responsible
position on the Daily Leader. a paper
published in that city. He has always
borne the reputation of being honest,
though addicted to drink. He was
partly Intoxicated last night.

BACK TO ARREST.

Blown Over.
A very clever arrest was made by the
officers of Margaret street station Mon
day. which goes to show that time does
not make them forgetful of either Of
tenders or offenSes. About the I'd of
last July Minnie Gray. of White Bear,
swore out a warrant for the arrest of
Will Webster, of the same place, charg-
ing him with illegal paternity. Web
stsr was railroad man, and was EN-
piOyed DY the st. Paul IL Duluth COM
pany at White Bear. He learned of
Miss Gray's action and came to st. Paul.
The warrant was brought to Margaret
street station and given to Capt. Hanft,
to be served, with a description of Web
ster. A search revealed the fact that
Webster had flown to the far
West, and so the warrant
was laid away in a pigeonhole of the
captains desk and; Webster passed
from the minds of;all save the officers
and the young lady. Last Friday,
Webster, thinking that the, affair had
been forgotten i'll Is the Intervening
