that the NC-i would make no attempt
TO fly TO Lisbon today. One of the

Elimination of the NC-l and NC-3 has
placed the entire burden of completing
The transatlantic flight on the NC-i and
Towers wishes TO take no chance on lis
ing his last remaining plane with the
goal more than half won.
The engine trouble caused Towers
and Lieutenant Commander Read the
greatest regret as the weather was
ideal today and the quick meieoroIogi-
cal changes In this zone may result in
impossible conditions tomorrow. Several
thousand natives who ilocked 10 the
shore front at sunrise were also disap-
pointed when the big machine failed
TO get away.
The NC-3, in midday. is surrounded
by guards TO prevent souvenir hunters
from carrying il away piecemeal.
Men OF the NC-3 declared that one
OF the reasons for their own machines
elimination was the sudden storm into
which they ran while approaching the
Azores. Towers declared that, while
they were drifting helplessly hope was
believed lost They were forced 10 drink
radiator water and had only chocolate

NC-3 Is a wreck, but the engine is in

Cuitivating Sponqes.

Sponges in their natural state are a growth of a low order of animal life which attaches itself to rocks in deep water. Of late years the demand Ina grown greater than the production. and some means of increasing the natural beds has been sought by experts. One Of the successful methods consists of cutting seed sponge into several parts, just potatoes are cut at planting time. and fixing them to ce- ment disks which are then lowered slowly into Watery caVerns suited to the purpose. After two Vears' time the blocks are raised by divers and considerable new growth is generally found upon them.
 In the natural fisheries there is considera ble loss because the sponges cling on so spingly that they cannot he entirely torn from the rocks but the cultivated article readily peels off and there is no waste whatever
 Another late development of the in dustry is the making of artificial sponges out of rubber an nd paper.

 One day as I was watching the cat erpfilar it started to spin. I saw a strong silk thread that seemed to come from his mouth and it was fastened to the grapevine
 Then a strange thing happened He moved his head to and fro and began to twist it around until he was wrap ped up so you could not see bit of him. There was nothing to be seen but his soft silk cradle

The wind could not low 1t off for it was fastened tight to the grapevine. watched for the caterpillar to come out but what do you suppose I saw? 4 beautiful yellow butterfly came out huttering it's wings, and began to 1y about gathering the honey from the flowers.
