SPONGE FISHERS IN LUCK.
Constant Demand for the Fungi Gives
Many Of Them Profitable Em-
ployment.

The sponge fisheries along the coast
of Florida have been pushed to the ut
most limit, until the annual sales
amount to 100000, says a recent re-
port. The product sells as high as
$3.50 q pound, which makes the bust
ness most profitable. There are GO
schooners in the trade and the business
is the staple Of many Of the towns along
the coast Of the state. The fishermen
have brought the business to a high
state of perfection, and they ere 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 so feet
below the surface They are located
with q water glass and then picked
with q long pole carrying on its end a
blade like the letter S, which cuts the
sponge loose with a twist, and then it
is brought to the surface, if there il
luck; and, If not, and it gets away, tits
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.

ENGINE AS A %BooTJACK.
Novel Manner In Which a Frost-Bit.
ten Brakeman's Boots Were
SsfS Taken On.

SIT isn't often that you hear Of q
man using a locomotive for a boot
jack said Conductor Frank Ora, Of
the Delaware division of the Erie rail-
road, according to a recent report,
''but here's one case:
"Walt Douglas, q brakeman on my
coal train, set out one dark night to
flag a passenger train just west Of Han
cock. He was out in the bitter cold
for a long while, and when he came
back his fingers and ears were badly
frozen.
AFTER we had got some whisky
down him and had rubbed his hands
and ears in snow we tried to remove
his boots, but his feet were SO badly
frozen that they could not be pulled
off. Douglas is an economical cuss
and he would not let us cut them off his
feet. He said that the boots had cost
him seven dollars a week before and
he could not afford to lose them SO
soon, even if by so doing he would be
relieved Of his suferings.
IT was finally agreed to take Doug
las out on the engine, stick his boot
heels between the slots of the pilot,
and then back up.
'.When everything was ready the en-
gineer reversed the engine, while we
chung to Coleman's arms and Shout
ders. The boots came off quick enough,
but Douglas legs came SO near going
with them that there was no funin it."

TRAVELS OF PLANTS.
tributing Agents for Various
Groyyths.

One would not imagine, of-hand,
that ice could possibly be instru-
mental in accomplishing the distribu-
ton Of plants, yet 9 French scientist
has recently called attention to the
fact that icebergs : frequently use
full in this way. NaNgators in polar
seas often encounter bergs carrying
masses Of debris, with
more or less soil, in which plants :
growing. Eventually the ice-massi
runs aground upon the shore Of some
distant land, there depositing the
plants, which may find themselves SO
situated as to be enabled to repro
duce their species, says the Philadel
phia Saturday Evening Post.
The case Of volcanoes as plant-dis-
tributors is even % remarkable,
though one must regard as very ex-
ceptional such instances as that
noted at Port Elizabeth, South Afri-
ca, in 1887, where large quantities Of
volcanic pumice were observed float
ing on the sea. On these fragments
of pumice were found various small
animals unfamiliar in that part Of
the world, and there was also q sort
of cocoanut. The nut was planted.
and in due time produced q palm
strange to the African coast. It was
decided that the pumice came from
the great eruption of Krakatoa, in.
the Straits of Sunda, which was in
its way the most remarkable volcanic
cataclysm of modern times.

HORSE THAT 1AwTON RODE.
Equine Veteran That Was Place ON
the Retired List After the Gem
erals Death.

When the news Of Gen. Lawton's
death reached Wgan, a large town on
the west coast of Luzon, the boys of
the Third cavalry stationed there felt
more deeply about 1t than the in
fantry companies OF the garrison, for
they had served under him, and they
found a way to show it, reports the
New York Tribune.
One of their horses, an old and
worn out veteran, had been used by
Gen. Lawton during one Of his cam
paigns. A committee appeared before
the commander Of the post the morn
ing after the news was received.
I'VE want old General put on the
retired list" said the spokesman, and
the colonel granted the request. After
that old General was allowed to wan
der about the streets and to come and
go as be pleased. Sometimes he would
poke his head into q store window, if
any Of the boys were there, as he
knew they would be sure to give him
a lump of sugar OF some other dainty.
The children learned to know him also,
and fed him with stray wisps of straw
or grass. General led a privileged life,
and soon grew "chesty." He refused
to eat with the other horses, and in
sisted that his food be given him
apart from theirs. One day he was
taken with q disease common to ma
tive horses, and died. Many Of the
natives, who had learned his history,
firmly believed that Lawton would
ride old General again in the land Of
spirits. ,

THE UNRELIABLE A1RSHIp,
It Has Faults That UNIT II for Gem
eral Utility Among EVER.
@ day People.

It Is very doubtful whether the air
ship will ever become a popular means
of travel with the masses, for the sim
pie reason that the enjoyment Of fit
ting through the atmosphere is some
what marred by the realization that
the passenger does not knowSwhether
he will reach the earth alive or merely
as 9 grease spot, says the Ohio State
Journal. &s
Without beating aboutt the bush any
the modern airship is erratic and &C.
centric. # an insanitary expert were
to examine a full-grown airship I have
no doubt he would find 1t unbalanced
and unaccountable for its acts. It has
been only lately since. Santos-Dumont,
the famous airship subtugator, was
almost killed at Monte Carlo BY his
airship, which began to plunge and
buck in midair. That's the great
trouble with an airship-you can never
tell when you have it well broken.
Those who have been riding IN an air
ship when it suddenly jumped up and
came down stiff-legged from q height
OF four or five miles, say that the SEN
sation experienced simply beggars de-
scription.
Summed up IN a nutshell, then, the
reasons why the airship is not likely
to become popular with the travelling
public are as follows:
It is not as gentle as q lamb; it can
not be ridden OF driven by any lady
OF child; it will not stand without
hitching; It is likely to stumble and
fall at any minute.

A N LANGUAGE.
Some Samoan Sayings That Portray
Some characteristics OF an
Interesting People,

Lovers of the writings of Robert
Louis Stevenson will be interested to
see an article on the Samoa of his
day by his stepdaughter, Mrs. Strong,
in the Century, from which we take
this odd bit:
"The native dictionary Is interesting
in the light 1t casts upon the Samoan
I find 'an fm%possibility,
such as an old man getting q young
Another word means to beg
deliriously for ishhooks.' Unwel-
come is given, such as q visiting par
ty that is accompanied by neither a
handsome man nor a pretty maid The
definition of widow or 'widower' is
synonymous with detached shellfsh.
"There are also definitions that
show considerable thought and irony.
'Meanness,' for instance, can 70 no fur
ther than 10 climb out ON your own
~breadfruit tree to steal your neigh
boris breadfruit.' Faapuatama, like a
trumpet blown by wild lads-blown
anyhow and at, all times; 90 conduct
without consideration. Popoga, to
look owl-eyed, IS q person staring
when food or property is being divided.
Good brown earth describes an hon.
est, unpretending man. To show how
difficult the language is for the stran-
ger, I may say that the little word ia
means I, we two, to beat with a stick,
to play on a musical instrument, to re-
prove, to tattoo, to open q vein, to
bail q cannon, to wash clothing by
beating and to turn a somersault."

It seems singular, however, to find
that the %ccess of Charles v.

q democratic constitution that his
executive power is considerably less
than that enjoyed BY the president
Of the United States.
