FLORIDA SPONGEs.
The Catch This Year Promises to BE
Unusual1y Large.


This year the catch of sponges in Flor
ida waters promises to be even larger than
in 80 when sponges, valued at $30OOOO were
found off the coast by the fishing fleet"
said a prominent resident of Key West
who is on visit to New York, to a writer
for The Star recently. For several weeks
PRIOR to my departure from home all the
boats on the bars of the bay We're making
CT tches which averaged between 400 and
$40 punches of sponges. and If the fisher
men continue to make such excellent hauiS
the market will soon be well supplied with
the article.
1.-The Flori1 la fishermen detect the pres
ence of sponges by means of a water glass,
which is a simple contrivance that con-
sists of piece of glass inserted in the bot
tom of a bucket. The bucket is thrust into
the water. and. looking through the glass;
the sponge hunter can generally distin-
guish any object at the bottom of the sea-
even If the water be rough. The sponges
are gathered with a pole from eighteen 10
forty feet long. with three-pronged iron
claw at the end.
or directly upon sandy bottom. is incased
in a jet black membrane. When the sponge
grows under or partly beneath rocks. away
from the sun, the membrane Is pale in
color, but 1t Is always full of thick milky
fluid. AS the sponge is torn from its roots
and while still in the water the fisherman
gives his pole a sharp twist, which bursts
the membrane and ScatterS the milk in the
water. The milk Is vile-smeling and pro-
duces an eruption whenever 1t touches the
human flesh; but the operation of scatter
ing the milk is considered very necessary
and also the fiSherman'S duty, as it is be-
lieved to hold the seed of the sponge

COTTON DUCK,
1t Has Many Uses and n Great Deal In
Exported.

America leads the world in the produce
ton of fine cotton duck said a large whole
sale dealer in the material in New York to
a Star reporter. There are now in the
United States some twenty-five mills en-
gagged In the manufacture of the goods
These concerns have capital of s2o.OOO. 900.
and employ about 1900 persons. who turn
out a finished product valued at s35. 100000
annually. Most Of the big mills are located
in Delaware, Georgia, Alabama, Connec-
ticut and Maryland
THE best grades Of duck are made from
South Sea Island cotton. 1t is used for
sails, tents, awnings. tarpaulins, covers for
everything from a steamboat to a gipsy'S
tent; skirting suits. shoe Innings and hum
dred other branches Of industry. Not tina
least odd as it may seem, it enters into the
farm. The big reaper companies of the
west present to every purchaser of ma
chine suit Of duck. with hat and gloves.
American cotton duck is exported quite
largely to Mexico and Central American
states and the West Indies. 1t is also
shipped to Germany. France and England.
in which countries the superior qualities of
the goods, for making sails. tents and avn
ings, is freely acknowledged

On the contrary. if the applicant answer

that sort, the carpenter would say at once:
