Fish a Sponge Is

Where do all the sponges come from? :?
 From the sea, of course, but very few people know just how or where they are gathered, and that their liable fishing districts. Like oysters, Isponges don't travel about of their own accord and they must be caught where
 they grow. As the demand constantly increases and the older fishing areas
 are being depleted newly discovered grounds are of great importance and are eagerly sought.
 A news item in the current number of the Monthly Bul1entin of the Pan American Union; Washington, DC, states that recently shipment of | g. O00 sponges of a fine grade arrived at Mobile Alabama, from the coast of iHdnduras. The fact that this coast has extensive sponge fishing possibili- EtIes had been either practically un- known or ignored until a Greek sponge happened along during the latter part ] of last year In about three weeks fish | ing he gathered enough for the ship
 ment alluded to, and now Honduras
 is going to add another product to it's
 numerous industries.
 | Sponge-f1shing is rather unique occupation, and the term fishing is
 not much of nisnomer. Most of them are still caught with hooks notwith-
 standing the fact that the improve 1 their gathering easier. They thrive 1 only in the salt water of the sea, and the best known districts are in the
 Mediterranean Sea, the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and waters con tiguous to these Those of the Medit- erranean are the oldest and produce about half in value, though not in quantity, of the worlds supply.

 The accomplished chairman of the progressive party of Massachusetts has a plan. just revealed to the faith z ful, which he thinks will serve to put his party into power. in the country. It is c1assically simple. It is to keep along on present lines and wait for the inevitable split in the democrat ic4 party
 That might work if we take eter- nity into account. But not for the present.
 The democratic party has not been so united, so harmonious, so enthu- siastic over it's national leadership for nerations-hardly since JaGk- sons time. Nobody can remember when party programs in Congress were put through with such smooth ness and efficiency. Every event since March 4, 1913, that has had any bear ing on the subject has reflected dem ocratic unity and continued success.
 There will be the inevitable split, in the democratic party-some time. It comes to every party now and again. But if the progressives are going to wait for the next one, the auguries are that they will wait a long cold and hungry wait.-From the Boston Globe.

mentt in which it grew In general appearance and consistency and the manner in which it cuts with a knife a living sheeps-Wool sponge is not unlike a piece of beef liver, perfor- ated with holes and 5 canals. The sponge of the markets is merely the
 skeleton, the supporting framework
 which gives strength and form to the soft gelatinous tissues of the living animal.
 Concerning the life histories of com merciaI sponges but little is known Tn some species, at least, the sexes are separate, the females greatly prepon- derating, and the young are produced
 mainly if not solely from eggs The young are, for time, minute free swimming organisms which may be carried considerable distances by the
 currents before they at last sestse
 down for a permanent attachment, us ua.l1y on natural rocky bars near the coast.
 The old method of gathering the
 sponge was to wade into tEe shallow waters and pull up the growth by hand Later the sponge hook, a two or three tined short hook attached to pole, was introduced, and deeper water could be fshed- The fisherman in his boat closely scanned the bottom of the | water for sponges, tearing them loose and depositing them in the boat by means of this hook To overcome the
 difficulty of seeing the bottom because
 of the ripples on the sudface of the
 water, the sponge glass; or water telescope was Introduced, about 1870. 1 This is merely an ordinary pail with a
 glass bottom. The device, when placed
 with it's glass bottom beneath the sur
 face of the water does away with the
 rippIes and also operates by dispelling
 reflection, and to heighten it's effici- lency the hooker usually wears a large
 straw hat which cuts off a large DOT
 ton of the direct light when his head | is thrust into the mouth fthe bucket. | By this means the bottom may some I times be seen in clear water to depth 1 of 50 feet. Two men are required to each boat, the hooker and the scuIler and considerable skill is required to l prevent mutilatfon in tearing up the 1 sponges. In 1895 the Mediterranean 1 method of sponging with diving ap- paratus was introduced and used sue
 cessfully in American waters, and now many of the Greek type of boats equipped with gasoline engines. are being used and the yield per man has | greatly increased American sponge fisheries now produce about 4,000. .00t

In Sonora the operation of the mines is now going on as if nothing had ever happened. Sonora has se- ceded and no federa1s are in sight The state government runs things on it's own hook, but neither has claim ed any national rights. This pro duces embarrassment.
 It has no coinage and currency is scarce. The supply of federal cur rency is scarce. The supply of fed : eraI postage stamps has run out and those of the sovereign state of Sonora do not carry in the United States Consequently Americans put United States stamps on their 1Atters and pay three cents into the state postoffice.
