DIVING FOR sPoNGEs.
Methods Employed in Different Parts
Of the World.

From the Chicago News.
One Of the odd but profitable vocatfons OF
man Is that of collecting sponges from the
floor Of the sea. In collecting sponges four
methods are employed-harpooning, print
tive diving, dredging and diving with spe-
cial outfit With harpoons one Of the chief
difficulties is to see the bottom clearly
through troubled sea. To obviate this
wooden or zinc plate cone, like water
bucket, open at the top and with glass
bottom, is used. On looking through this
water glass; which is partly submerged. the
bottom Of the sea may be clearly studied
even at thirty fathoms and the proper
sponges picked out.
The primitive method of diving with no
other apparatus than slab of stone as a
Sinker and cord to communicate with the
surface, Is most popular in the Levant. On
reaching the bottom the diver hastily
snatches up as many good sponges as pos
sible and. after remaining under water from
one to two minutes, tugs violently at the
cord and Is drawn to the surface. The
sponges are collected in a net which the
diver carries around his neck. At greater
depths, particularly along the coasts of
Asia Minor, dredging Is employed usually
in winter.
To these simpler operations was added
some twenty-five years ago the "skafand-
er, or diving apparatus, which enables the
diver in his submarine dress to spend an
hour under water at depth of from ten to
fifteen fathoms. Experience has shown that
the employment of the last two methods is
a severe tax upon the sponge banks, as
everything in sight-sponges large and
small-is gathered. Germs and seeds also
suffer greatly, and it takes years before
a new crop natures. The abuses which so
disastrously affect the Levantine sponge
industry have prompted a Russian philan-
thropist to inaugurate a campaign for the
abolition of diving apparatus IN sponge fish

WORKMEN'S EXPLOITS.

cantilever arms had approached within

among the men. A long plank connected
the two arms, leaving about two and a

too high up to hear.
deliberately he walked out until he
reached the middle of the plank. 1t sagged
far down with his weight until I could see
light between the two short supporting
ends and the cantilevers on which they
rested. He saw the end in front of him

From the London Standard
Few countries have more delights for the
Traveller than Morocco. There are neither
roads nor bridges to emharrass his choice.
The customs and manners Of the people
are as IN the days OF Abraham. Rivers and
swamps create difficulties. to overcome
which Is pleasant exercise, while the
fanatIcism and aloOfness of the hill tribes
and of some of the cities in the interior
give spice OF adventure without any real
danger. I have breathed the air Of the
Arabian and African deserts. and Of the
high veldt. and have tasted the wild free
dom OF the Australian bush; but no expert
ence surpasses a ride in Morocco.
Reused at dawn by the movement of the
camp. you turn out of your tent to see the
horses fed and saddled and to chaff scold
the muleteer into making preparations for
the march. No child can be more waYward

you to lunch and repose in the heat of the

A case is cited of a dipsomaniac who

She required something which would bite

in fact, almost anything that was acrid.
And so some fruits-at the outset. perhaps.
unripe fruits-might help to remove any
unnatural desire for drink.

French Revenge Against Germany.

Although time has considerably toned

great majority of the French people remain

many who would make political capital out
