the water which interfered with their fishing
the spongers soon learned to make Of oil, and
that extracted from the liver Of sharks was
found to be the best. Another change in the
method soon followed, for man standing upright
in his boat found considerable difficulty in seeing
the bottom with sufficient distinctness. To over
come this obstacle, sponge glass" water
telescope introduced which merely an
ordinary wooden pail with glass instead Of
wooden bottom. This device introduced in
1870 and necessitated two men for each boat
to propel the boat and the other to search
for and gather up the sponges. Later large ves-
sells came into In the Florida waters and
sponging was often carried on at distance of 20
to 80 miles from shore. The average size Of
these vessels was about Is tons capacity rugged
as schooners in the majority of cases. and car
rying crew of from to 13 men. AS rule the
proceeds of the sponging trips go into a common
fund, from which each man receives his share
according to his duties.

in small boats, two men in each called the "scul-
Ter" and the hooker the duty of the former be-
ing to propel the boat in obedience to the signals
of the latter and assist in handling the hooks
when necessary A proficient scuer has perfect
command of the boat, stopping it almost on the
instant. Upon the hooker devolves the work of
finding and catching the sponges. He leans over
the side. watching the bottom through his water
glass, the hook with its pole resting conveniently
across the boat where it may be seized upon the
instant. The position is a trying one physically
especially when the is choppy, and when the
waves grow rough the work is impossible The
sponge glass or bucket, with it's glass bottom be-
low the surface of the water, operates by dspell-
ing reflection, and to heighten it's efficiency the
hooker usually wears straw hat which cuts off
a large part of the direct light when his head is
thrust into the mouth OF the bucket. BY this
means the bottom may sometimes be seen in
clear water to depths of so feet. When a sponge
is sighted, the sculler maneuvers the boat into
position at word or signal from the hooker; the
latter seizes his hook, resting the pole on his
shoulder, and with his right hand lowers It, II is
then injected into the sponge more or less dis

course, impairs its value in the markets Some
times the formations adhere so tightly that II
requires the united efforts OF both men to loosen
them and in most cases parts of the base of the
sponge are left behind.

REST ROOMS FOR THE WOMEN
Grange Committee in Michigan Is Es.
tablishing Them in the County
Court Houses.

An interesting phase Of Grange
work is brought to light in Michigan.
through a plan to establish rest
rooms" in the county hourt houses.
This is a plan taken up by the wom-
ans work committee of the Michigan
State Grange and is already well UNI
der way. In Antrim, Oakland and sew
eral other counties, such rooms are
set aside in the court houses, which
are free for the use Of any woman
who wishes to rest during shopping,
or desiring to use the toilet or lava
tory, rearrange her hair, eat box
lunch or have a cup of tea; also to
pass the otherwise weary time while
waiting for trains or as an appoint
ment place for meeting friends. The
women of the counties already pro-
vided find these rest rooms" God
send indeed and there is a call for
their extension into other counties as
rapidly as possible.

conveniences not yet attempted and
having competent attendants in
charge. That such rooms shall also
be used as conference centers and az
meetings places for various projects
in which the women of Michigan are
interested. is also one OF the further
objects to be striven for. There are
more than seventy counties in Michi-
yan, which affords glimpse of the
magnitude of the present movement,

the main ship the sponges are placed on deck and
left there until all the Shiny matter they contain
is drained off While the sponges are dying they
give off strong odor of ammonia, which, after
few days, changes to the more pleasure smell oil
seaweed. The schooner then returns to its base
of operation and places It's catch in pens or
"lraals," generally about 10 feet square and built
of waited stakes driven in shallow water in the
shelter of some key or land so that the flowing
tide washes the sponges as 1t comes and goes,
This washing process takes about one week, after
which the sponges thoroughly squeezed out
and beaten with sticks until all the living matter
disappears. They are then strung in punches
upon pieces Of rope. After drying the sponges
are cleansed out quite thoroughly by hand sorted
according to kinds, arranged in piles to show
them to the best advantage, and soaked in water
order to swell them to their largest proper
lions. They ready for market, and this
phase of the industry is most interesting one.
At appointed times, sponge buyers assemble and

the southern coast in the vicinity of Batabano be-

While sponges found in several other sec.

the greatest variety belongs to Florida and the
West Indies, the more popular grades being
