sPoNeEs IN HAWAIIAN WATERS
Pish Commission Believes They Can
Be Found.

Fish Commission Believes They Can
Be Found.
Believing that there are sponges OF
a merchantable quality in the waters
about the Hawaiian Islands, the last
week Of the stay of the party repre-
senting the United States Fish Com
mission will be devoted in part to all
investigation Of reports concerning
their presence Should there be found
spOnges which will be fit for market
these will add materially to the wealth
Of the Islands, more, In fact, than any
other product of the fisheries.
There Is one State Of the Union which
now produces all the sponges which are
brought to the market locally. Along
the coast of Florida the industry has
been pushed to its limit, until the an
nual sales or sponges amount to $780,
600. The product sells for as high as
$3.50 a pound, which makes the busi-
ness most profitable. There are sixty
schooners in the trade, and the business
Is the staple Of many of the towns
along the coast of the State. The fish
ermen have brought the business to a
high state of perfection, and they are
able to make large catches in season.
The sponge fishing is done in deep
water, the best specimens Of the large
bath sponges being obtained from fifty
feet below the surface. They are locat-
ed with long pole carrying on its end
blade like letter s, which cuts the
sponge loose with twist, and it is then
brought to the surface, If there is luck;
and IL not and 1t gets away, it is lost
forever. The men become very expert
in the business, and they will carry IT
on during high winds, losing very few
Of the sponges.
There are many varieties of the
sponge, those which are generally found
about the enclosed waters being Of a
sort which are not of value. 1t is the
opinion of Mr.. Cobb, who is one Of the
