Sponges of the Aegean Sea.

Sponges of the Aegean Sea.
Sponge fishing is the most impor-
tant industry of the inhabitants of
the islands lying off the main coast
of Asia Minor. Thousands of sea-
men every year are busy cleaning,
drying and bleaching sponges, work
which is not always of pleasing ma
ture, considering the number of lives
lost In stormy seas and in diving.
When sDonges are first torn from
the sea bed they are of a dark color
and living. BY tramping and press
ing them with the feet milky sub.
stance ooZes out, whereupon the
sponge dies. They are then i'm
mersed in the sea for the space of
eight or ten hours. The dark skin
ny substance is then removed by
scraping, and gradually, through
cleaning, drying and bleaching, they
take on the fine yellow color which
characterizes many of them. 1t is
said that the sponges taken from
deep beds are better than those
found in the shallow water.
