Instantly wild cry went up from
the late passenger, which broadened
into a howl of despair as the distance
between him and the trolley caI.
widened. AS he shrieked he also ran
and waved his hands franticaliy. The
conductor, seeing the shadowy form
in the dimncss of the night and hear
ing the unearthly cries, pulled the bell
strap and thus induced the motorman
to halt, which he did with jerk. The
man in pursuit came within hniling
distance.
"What dye want?" shouted the
puncher of pasteboards.
II want-the-lady-in there!"
gnsped the man, swinging his hat at
the open car door. The car having
come to a dead standstill, woman

SPONGE FISHING.
Method of Securing the Useful Arti-

clcs Is n Trying One.
Living on his chest along the bonts
deck. the sponge fisher, with his water
glass-a pane set in box fitted with
handles-loolls down 40 feet into the
clear depths. With one hand he Frasps
and sinks slender pole, sometimes so
feet in length, fitted at the end with n
double hook. The sponge once discov-
cred, the hook is deity inserted at the
rock base, and by sudden jerk is de-
tached.
This curt description of what seems
the simple work of sponge fishing gives
no idea of the real skill and exertion
needed. The eye of the fisher has to be
trained by long experience to peer into
the sea and tell the commercially valu-
able s,,cnges from those that are worth
lers. He must have deft hand to de-
tach the sponge without tear.
Above all, while doing this with one
hand. he must manipulate with the
cther the water-glass, as the waves sway
it sideways and up and down. Inc
strain on eyes and body is most intense

first and last, make almost every sponge
fisher a victim of acute rheumatism.
