Concerning sponges.
A writer who has made close study
and examination of the sponges found In
different parts of the globo declares that
there are no sponges In any land in the
world that can equal the Florida sheep
wool for softness and strength. and no bet
ter bath sponge has been discovered. The
Florida sheep wool Is the best variety Of
sponge, being of very fine texture, soft,
strong and durable. The yellow sponge is
of fine quality, but not firm in texture and
not nearly so soft or durable as tho first
named; the grass sponge is quite inferior
70 the Others, not being so strong nor so
desirable in shape, and is easily torn. The
Cuban spongcs, Mr.. Burk says, are the
next best to the Florida, the principal va
rietics found in Cuba or the West Indies
being the sheep wool, reef, yellow and
grass; also velvet, which are next best to
the sheep wool sort. The finer grades CT
sponges are found principally in the Mcdi
terranean, such as the fine surgeons
toilet, bathing and nursery sponges, and
these are of much higher price than any
others.
