FIRST SPONGE PLANTING.
Propagation in Florida Waters Will
Make Importing Unnecessary.

The government has gone in for
sponge culture The supply of spOnges
has never equaled the demand. and we
have been importing most of those re-
quired for the domestic trade
Successful experiments have been con-
Quoted and the actual work of planting
spOnSes off the coast of Florida is being
done under the SUPERVISION of Captain
James A. Smith of the Fishhawk The
sponges used in the propagation are Of
the sheepshead variety, the most valu-
able IN the world, and which fill every
commercial requirement. DR. H. F.
Moore, assistant commissioner of fish
ana fisheries, devised the method of
planting.
The sponges are cut in small pieces,
from one to Two inches in diameter.
These small fragments of the living
sponge. which are dark in color, the
pores filled with desIly matter, are firm
" fastened to pieces ofEcoral, rock or
terra Gotta brick and dropped overheard.
Thin aluminium wire is used for fasten-
ing them to the object. The use of the
aluminium wire is the solution of the
difficulty which confronted the expert
menters. The pieces of sponge have one
outer skin intact, with the outer edges
raw. The latter, however, quickly heal.
The aluminuns wire will, of course,
pierce the sponge and form a small bore,
or hole, through them. The wire cor
rodes; but this is an advantage, for it
gradually wears away leaving the
sponge free Of any foreign substance.
Most Of the difficulties attending the
culture have been met with in attempt
ing to find something to bind the
sponges to the rocks which would last
long enough for the growth to attach
itself naturally to the new bed. The
aluminium wire does this Wood, string,
copper and iron wire and various other
substances were attacked by the salt
water and animal life and rendered use
less.
Sponges are. being planted at Bis
cayne bay, Anciote Keys and Key West.
An effort viii be made to put the new
industry on its feet so that private cap
ital viii become interested in carrying
it on. There is every reason to believe
that the venture will be successful and
that in short time all the sponges
needed in the United States viii be
raised in the waters of Florida.-New
York Press.
