Sponges grow in odd, fantastic
shapes. Some Of them have an over
growth resembling huge warts. There
are some suggesting hands. hats and
fgures OF idols. These are curiosities
and not marketable for practical use.
In trimming them into shape many
small sponges are made which are
used for children's states, for black.
ing rhoes and in making paper. The
uses vary according to size.
One OF the largest sponges known
Is in New York city. 1t is fan shape
and some three feet in diameter. For
practical use it is worthless, but as an
exhibit 1t is valued at $100.
The best sponges are imported from
The Mediterranean, although Florida
produces very fine varieties. These
vary in price from cent to $40
apiece. although occasionally fine
specimens bring $50 a pound. The
best OF these are used In surgical op-
erations.
Other sponges are the mandruka
bait. the elephant ear, velvet, grass
and sleeps wool. which is best for
washing. The cheap sponges are used

When the Sum VIII Eaf1.

The total Of the suns heat is equal
to that which would be required to
keep up 476,O00 millions of millions
Of millions OF horsepower, or about 49,
900 horsepower for every square yard,
and yet the modern dynamical theory
of heat shows that the suns mass
must fall in or contract thirty-fiye
meters per annum to keep up that tre-
mendous energy.
AT this rate of contraction the solar
radius will be .01 per cent less in 1000
years from now than it is today. Ac-
cording to these deductions, a time
must come when the temperature must
fall. This being the case, it is incon-
ceivable that the sun will continue to
emit heat sufficient to sustain animal
life for more than 100000 years
longer.

THE PIG IRON MARKET
 CONTINUES VERY FIRM

The ironmakers of this district are thoroughly satisfied with the market Firmer the market could not be, and H a few weeks back any furnace men talked prices higher than the SIP basis for No 2, there is no talk and certainly no desire now of changing the quotations. Let we'll enough alone'' is the motto of every sape sales agent
 There is less complaint about a scare ity of cars than there was before Christi mas and shipping is very brisk Practi- cally all the iron that will be made with in the next SIX months has been sold, and large orders are being booked for de- livery in the third and fourth quarters of the year. This condition of active trade assured, of course. stable market throughout 1902, and from the present outlook 1t will not be long before 1903 de- liveries will be freely booked
 While there will be no effort made to advance the schedule of prices, buyers clamoring for small rush orders offer a premium of 25 cents or more over quota uons, and sellers are taking the "ex- tra.' This has no further significance.
