Article .Abouf SpongeS
From Tarpon Springs
ReS III. III. Stutson. Formerly Of Baraboo. Tells Of
Queer Greek Fishing Florida Coast.

| ly in the control of the Greeks, sponge
fishers from Greece. There are said to
be perhaps $500 of these now in the
Tarpon Springs community, and more
are said to be coming, They employ
divers to take the sponges, divers sup
piled with diving suits. In this way
they can go out to the sponge beds
and descend, removing the sponges
from the bottom with the hands. AS
the sponges are gradually taken from
the shallower waters, they must follow
them into the waters that are deeper.
1t is said that diver can go down in
Is fathoms of water and remain below
for4four hours or even six.
The record dive in Greece is TO the
depth of 55 fathoms, the enormous
depth OF $50 feet, the diver remaining
down for two minutes. 1t is hard to
conceive of man sustaining the ter
rible pressure incident upon such a
descent, for even this short time. This
information came direct from a
diver.
The sponges are pulled up, put in
bags and hauled to the surface. w hen
taken they are jelly like mass, grow
ing in the fibrous texture which we
know as a sponge but which really is
the skeleton, as it were, from which
the animal matter has been removed.
When raised to the deck the spon-
ges are crushed to kill the life in them,
and thrown in heaps to rot. One or
two boats are used for this purpose as
the smell is very offensive while this
process of curing is going on, after
this they are shaken or pounded in
some way, and the animal matter in
the shape now of powdery dust, is
moved from them and washing COM
pletes the cleansing. They are then
strung on strings, each string being of
the same length as the rest. A few
large sponges will fill string, while
it may take dozen smaller ones, or

they are sold believe, at so much per
string, by those who take them from
the sea.
They are brought into Tarpon
Springs in this way, placed in locked
bins in a large sponge shed, where
they are sold twice week to the high
est bidders. The sponges are taken
from the bins and thrown in piles,
the buyers register their bids as this is
being done, and the sponges are lifted
in strings and deposited before their
eyes on another pile. Then the bids
are handed in and the sponge fisher,
that is the owner of the boat or boats,
sells to the highest bidder or keeps the
lot for better prices.

SpOnges Worth Money.

I have been told that several mil
lion dollars worth of sponges are thus
bought and shipped from Tarpon
Springs each year. The best sponge is
the wool sponge, thick and tough of
fibre. The yellow sponge is only
worth about one fourth as much.
Some of these wool sponges ere large.
[ saw one that weighed three pounds
or more, in packing house, and that
was valued at between three and four
dollars a pound. The most are of
course much smaller The grass sponge
is large, course variety and is much
cheaper. These larger sponges are cut
into convenient sizes and so sold at re-
tail.
should say that a wool sponge
that weighs three or four pounds had
the cubic contents of a large pail, only
of different shape, being round at the
sides, but f1atlike on the bottom and
top.
The grass sponges are often large,
but are spreading and not compact.
They are frequently somewhat hol-
low in the interior, as you look down
at them from above. But most of the
sponges are much smaller, the smaller
size predominating. In the packing
houses the sponges are pressed into
bales weighing fifty pounds or so, an d
wrapped in sacking for shipping.
Greek Fishing Boats.
Much more might be said but L
must reserve space TO speak of the
Greek fishing boats. They are of the
same model used suppose in Greek
waters for 1000 years. They have a
high, pointed bow and stern and are
wide for their length, which [ should
guess to be thirty feet and more. They
are the old Greek boats that have sailed
the Greek seas for ages. They make
them in Tarpon Springs from this old
model. It carries one back into the
past to watch them. The builders are
i very expert with their crude tools,

CENSUS ENUMERATORS ABROAD
They are Now Busy Counting the
Noses of Uncle Sam Numerous
Folks.

Babies born after this date will not
even get pleasant look by the census
enumeratoT when he calls. If they
were born before April 15 they would
count just as much as a venerable citi-
zen 100 years old, but the jig is up
now. Folks who were not married be-
fore the census scribe sailed forth with
his portfolio and star, will not be count
ed as married. Folks who die after
April Is will be considered as alive and
people not divorced will bejust the same
as married up to April Is. People who
move after April 10 will be considered
as living in the old abode and so it
goes down to the bottom of the list.
Here are some of the questions that
will be up the sleeve when the enumera-
tor smiles on you.
Some of the questions will answer
themselves. A man or woman bright
enough TO be selected as an enumerator
will not need to ask woman if she
served in the confederate or union
army. And after carrying on his inter-
view for ten minutes he will not need
to ask his informant if she is blind,
deaf or dumb. Ordinarily he can
make shrewd guess as to her color
too.
The thirty-two questions that will
be submitted by the enumerators are as
follows:
l. Location?
2. Location of family?
3. Name of each person whose place
of abode on April 18th, 1910 was in this
family?
4. Relationship of person to head of
family?
5. Sex?
6. Color or race?
Z. Age at last birthday?
s. Single, married, widowed, or di-
vorced?
g. Number of years of present mar
riage?
10. Children, number born?
IL. How many living?
II. Place of birth?
13. Place of birth of father of this
person?
IA. Place of birth of mother of this
person?
.15. Year of immigration to United
States?
16. Naturalized or alien?
II. Speak English? If not, what
language?
Is. Trade or profession?
19. General nature of industry in
which person works?
20. Employer, employe, or working
on own account?
q. Out of work April Is, 1910?
%. Number of weeks out of work
during year 1909?
%. Able to read?
"a. Able TO write?
25. Attended school any time since
Sept. l, 1909?
26. Home owned or rented?
27. Free or mortgaged?
%. Farm or house?
20. Number of farm schedule?
30. Survivor of union or confeder~.
ate army?
81. Blind?
81. Deaf or Dumb?

How Sponges Are Taken.

There are two methods of taking
sponges. The old method was to use
rakes on long handle. With this ap-
paratus the fishers went out to the
beds, and that they might the better
see the sponges, they employed sort
of pail with glass bottom. This they
pushed down into the water to kill the
ripples, and then they could look
down through the pail with its glass
bottom, see and hook the sponge. This
method is not used as the water be-
comes deeper. [ think about 80 feet is
the greatest depth at which they can
conveniently employ these rakes. Some
sponges are still taken at Tarpon
Springs in this way.
But the fisheries there are practical

POWER COMPANY
GETTING OPTIONS
NEW PLAN PROPOSES TO RAISE
THE WATER FOUR FEET AT
PRAIRIE DU SAC.

The power company which proposes
to build dam across the Wisconsin
river at Prairie du Sac, is securing
options and buying land above the
village of Merrimack Robert Wilson
of Okee is in Baraboo visiting at the
homes of Jasper Ewing and Arthur
Kellogg, and says that several tracts OF
land along the Wisconsin river has
recently been purchased. He says
that the town officials along the Wis
consin have agreed TO permit the
height of the dam to be raised from
18 feet TO % feet. If this is done the
water will submerge lot of low land
near the villages of Merrimack and
Okee Mr.. Wilson says that the terri
tory between Okee and the Wisconsin
river will be one vast lake and that
the water will be raised for at least
eleven miles back of the dam. H. G.
Morter has disposed of 13O acres at
$17.1O an acre, Mrs. Clark has agreed
to sell 23O acres for about So, 400, the
Brownrigg brick yard has been
bought and some of the Astle land
near Merrimack has been secured.
IL case the water backs up to Merri-
mack it will make delightful place
for boating of all kinds.
A Pioneer Resident.
Mr.. Wilson came from Chicago TO
the town of Caledonia in 1912, the
same year that w. III. Garfield landed
at BarabOo. Mr.. Wilson first resided
across the river from Dekorra and after
wards moved to Okee. He recalls
that it was necessary to go to Prairie
du Sac to obtain corn meal and only
a few pounds were to be had. This
was about the only food they could
obtain until supplies came and mill
was completed at Dekorra.
He tells of an amusing Indian scare.
There were plenty Of red men about
the settlement on the Wisconsin and
one evening they heard strange noise
some distance away. 1t was supposed
that it was band of savages coming
to masscre them, and all the fire arms
were brought forth. The sound came
nearer until it was in their presence.
Then it was discovered that the noise
was caused by the creaking of grease
