Concerning sponges.

A writer who has made close study
and examination Of the sponges found In
different parts of thu abe 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
IF fine quality, but not firm in texture and
not nearly SO soft or durable as the first
named; the grass sponge Is quito inferior
to the Others, not being so strong nor SO
desirable In shape, and is easily torn. The
Cuban sponges Mr.. Burk says, are the
next best to the Florida, the principal va
rieties 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 of
sponges are found principally In the Medi-
terranean, such as the fine surgeons,
toilet, bathing and nursery sponges and
these are OF much higher price than any
others.

In vision, their senses of taste, touch and

is readily accomplished by placing an
