what resembles. Perhaps. however, the

sponges l. Euplectella aspergillum, or.

held by him a. IA great treasure. Ii was
soon followed by a few more specimens,
which We're sold III the market at about

found to be so plentiful they may be
bought for as many shillings These
sponges We're found by the Challenger

sponge, is frequently inhabited by one,
sometimes by pair, of decapod crusta

speeohiesa and Swollen.

A story ar the expense Of Sir William
Harcourt is worth repeating. Before his
recent departure for the continent the
ex-chancellor of the exchequer spent
some time at the seaside, and on one oc
casion visited "a man of war lying OH the
Hampshire coast.
After dinner, the weather proving
rather rough, the captain, an unusually
small and daDper man, suggested that
Sir William should sleep on board, and
thoughtfully surrendered his own berth
for the night TO his distinguished guest.
Next morning, at the early hour when
the captain usually rose, the latter 5
sailor servant, who knew nothing Of the
change Of berths, brought cup Of coffee
10 the cabin door and knocked once
or twice without receiving an answer.
Somewhat alarmed, the servant popped
IN his head and asked:
Don't you want your coffee this
morning, sir?"
The only reply was in the nature Of
growl, and the terrified sailor beheld a
gigantic figure turning over under the
bedclothes Dropping the cup of coffee,
the faithful servant rushed to the ships
surgeon, exclaiming:
For goodness sake, sir, come TO the
captain at once He's speechless, and
swollen 70 ten times his natural size. T"
