HOW sPoNeEs Are GATHERED

The gathering Of sponges although
interesting, is very uncertain as t.
profits and sometimes hazardous as K
life. The principal sponge bearing
waters are the Mediterranean Sea sno
the Gulf coast OF Florida:
In the Mediterranean the natives
dive for them, using no other appars.
tus than heavy stone. BY constant
practice they are enabled to remaiI
underneath the water three minutes
at a time: indeed some never come up
This latter fate is the risk Of the bust
ness.
The Florida fishers use boat and
wooden tub with a glass bottom.
This enables them tosee plainly while
the sponges are hooked up with long
pole. The quality of sponge de-
Ponds largely upon the kind Of bee
and the depth OF water. Thus ur
most valuable sponges come from very
deep water in the Mediterranean; the
next in value from long rock reef of
the west coast of Florida. This lat
ter sort, although not so fine, thei,
toughness and durability make then
almost as desirable A third and
cheap variety are known as a grass
sponge. They are taken in shallow
water around Florida S numerous keys
l have just received a complete line
of all grades and will be pleased Il
show you the difference in sponges
They are all prices according to theil
value, as low as the quality will per
