THE LIVING SPONGE.
It's Curious Structure and the Way II
Gathers In Its Food.

It's CURIOUS structure ana the way u
Gathers In Its Food.
A living sponge is kind of cell
city. If you can imagine thousands
of Siamese twins all joined into one
composite body you will have an
idea of the kind of multiplex animal
that sponge is.
Formerly many thought that
sponges were a kind of seaweed.
They grow attached to rocks, shells
and other objects in the water and
nearly all live in the sea, although
there is a fresh water species called
spongilla. The skeleton or frame
work of a sponge is formed in some
species of carbonate of lime (Which
constitutes the greater part of our
own bones), in other species of sill
ca, a f1inty substance, and in still
others of hornlike material.
Sponges manage to draw their
food within their reach by setting
up currents in the water. If you
and your family were microscopic
organisms, dwelling in the neigh
borhood of a sponge, you might
some morning find that you were
being swept along by gentle cur
rent, as soothingly unsuggestive OF
its real import as the little shore
eddies mile above Niagara, and
when, too late, you awoke to the sit
uation you would be rushing
through a crooked tube, with hun
dreds of ella Giving hairs) reaching
for you from every side, and you
and yours would quickly become the
subjects of "intracellular diges-
ton" Professor Thomson gives
this very graphic description of the
way in which a cup shaped sponge
lives:
"The particles are drawn in
through minute pores all over the
surface of the sponge. They pass
into the cavity of the cup, and they
are driven out again in a stream
from the large upper aperture. To
what are the currents due? Obvi-
ously to the flashing activity of the
ciliated cells.
''The community is Venice-like,
penetrated by canals. By these
food and other necessaries are con-
tinually supplied to the houses, OF
cells, on the banks, and constant
current is sustained by the life OF
the city, P. Serviss in
Spokane Spokesman-Review.

Fresh Fish Can Now 60 Thru Mail

Notice has been received at
the Washburn postoffice that
fresh fish, sailed, cured, smoked
or dried meats, and other meat
products will now be admitted
to the mails, and transported as
far as the sender thinks it will
go without spelling.
In sending fish or meat under
the new ruling, the sender is
taking his own risk. Should the
meat spoil in transit, it is under.
stood that the postoffice en-
ployees have the privilege of
destroying the package.
Notice from Washington states
that a person or firm is now re-
quired to send only 300 articles
second or third class or $50
articles fourth class to enter the
special permit class.
Previously it was necessary
to send at least 1000 articles.
and the decreased number will
allow the smaller firms to enter
the same class that was forme err
ly occupied by only the large
corporations.

Why Kitty ls Puss.

A great many years ago the peo-
pie Of Egypt, who had many idols,
worshiped the cat among others.
They thought she was like the moon
because she was more active at
night and because her eyes changed
like the moon. So they made an
idol with a cats head and named it
Pasht. The same name they gave
to the moon, for the word means
sthe face of the moon" The word
has been changed to ''Pas" and
opus" and has come at last to be
sPuss," the name the most of us
give to the cat.

Carpenters were put to work last
week rebuilding stock exhibit
barn at the Bayfield, County Fair
grounds. One Of the exhibit barns
were blown last fall and another one
blew down during a wind storm
about month ago. These buildings
were rather of frail design, but
this fact did not contribute so much
to their destruction as their general
design. Profiting by the experience
of the past these buildings are being
built facing each other, and it is
planned TO extend the roof from one
building to the other, making prac-
tically one building of the two. and

The Dinner Hour.

It was 10 a. m. Henry VIII. dined
at this time and supped at 4. In
the sixteenth century dinner was at
II, breakfast at Z and supper at b
or 6. In the following century
meals were an hour later. Disraeli
tells us that in the reign of Francis
I. of France folks rose at 5, dined
at 9, supped at 5 and went to bed at
8, which, according to popular
saying, made them live to be ninety
nine. Louis XII, it is said, has
tened his death by altering his hours
to please his young wife. Instead
of dining at 8 a. m. and going to
bed at 6 p. m. he took to dining at
noon and often sat up till midnight.

MEN WHO HIDE THEIR FACES.
Funeral Garb of a Famous Italian
Order of Mercy.


Order of Mercy.
In the streets of Leghorn, Italy,
may frequently be seen procession
of dozen men, clothed from head
to toe in black, their faces conceal
ed by black calico masks falling to
the waist, with two narrow open
ings for the eyes and surmounted
by black, broad brimmed hats.
Black gloves and girdle and a rosary
of black beads complete the funereal
equipment.
With downcast eyes, what ap-
pears like a coffin borne on the
shoulders Of four of them and pre-
coded by a man carrying large sill
yer crucifx, they march quickly
past, with reverent mien and in the
utmost silence. If in their progress
the processionists pass church
they raise their hats. If they en-
counter priest they put down their
burden and fall on their knees to
receive his blessing.
This spectacle has been familiar
in Tuscany for four centuries. The
black CARRIED, black yelled men are
simply engaged in work of mercy
the carrying of the dead to their
graves and Of the injured or sick
to the hospitals. They are mem
bers of the great Miscricordia So
ciety, a brotherhood of pity, who
give their services to this good work
and wear their masks to hide their
identity from curious eyes.
Four centuries ago the society was
founded at Florence, where it's head
quarters are, and throughout Tus-
cany it has today no fewer than sew
enty branches. In Leghorn alone it
has 5000 members-probably one
out of every five Of the adult male
population - and every member
gives his services gladly and gratui-
tously.
At the sound of the society's big
bell-one stroke for case of sick
ness, two for an accident, three fol
a death-the members flock quick
ly and silently to headquarters, and
from the first corners the senior
brother chooses the number he re-
quires. When his staff is marshaleo
he exclaims in a loud voice (ir
Latin), "Let us proceed in peace,
in which the response comes: "1r
the name of the Lord. Amen"
The gates are then thrown open
and, with coffin or ambulance, in
black robes and masks, the process
sion steps out briskly on its par
ticular errand of mercy, returning
to headquarters when the errand il
performed, to be dismissed after
signing their names and engaging II
prayer together.
The society also distributes breac
to the poor and provides small dow
ries for girls who would otherwise
lack them. Every member, too
must be skilled in ambulance work
and when required must be prepared
to sit up night after night with tht
sick, to whom, however, he is for
hidden to speak word.
There is no reward for the wori
except medal of bronze or silver

attendance and the right of buria
in a special cemetery.-Pearson''
