business all their lives and are the most
expert divers In the world. A great
many have brought their families to
this country to live, and at Tarpou
Springs they have settled In the east
side of the city, where their homes and
places o f business are typical of Greece.
They also wear their Grecian clothes
and speak their native tongue.
The common laborer on the sponge
boats receives from *50 to *60 per
month, the divers getting from (200 to
*300 tn the same period. The sponge
boat Is from 30 to 40 feet long and of
great beam for its length. Most of
these boats were brought from Greece,
and are staunchly built There are
also a number of schooners whloh go
with the fleets to furnish provisions and
carry sponges from the smaller boats.
Every boat has one or more divers,
who have a complete diving outfit, with
10-pound lead soles on each shoe, also
a heavy lead weight on the chest and
back. The diver carries no weapon of
any kind, being provided only with a
sponge bag.
The diver after putting on bis suit Is
lowered over the side of the boat and
to the bottom. As he walks along far
under the surface he Is followed by the
boat above. In which Is a pump that
keeps him supplied with air.
Sponges are gathered from the bot­
tom of the g u lf in from 50 to 150 feet
of water. The diver will stay down
hours at a time, and as fast as a bag
Is fllled it Is hoisted to the surface and
an empty one sent down.
As Is generally known, the sponge Is
un animal There are many different
kinds, but only three, the silk, wool
and grass sponges, hare commercial
value. After being taken from th*
water they are left on the decks of the
vessels In the sun for a time, to die
before they are thrown Into the kraals.
These kraals or pens are made by driv­
ing stakes in the sand a little ways
apart so that the ebb and flow of the
tide may wash out and In to remove
all animal matter. After remaining In
the kraals for a time, this being depen­
dent on the season, as sponges die much
faster In the summer than winter, the
spongers get tn among them and mash,
scrape and clean the animal matter off.
They are then strung In bunches about
five feet long, and taken to the sponge
packing bouses, where they go through
the last process of cleaning, and are
sized and graded according to quality.
They are then packed In bales of 10,
15 and 20 pounds, and shipped to all
parts of the world.
In purchasing the sponges representa­
tives of the various jobbing houses meet
at the sponge exchange and all the
sponges belonging to one man or firm
are plied In a heap on the floor. Bach
representative examines the pile and
writes his bid on a blank and gives it
to the secretary of the exchange. When
all bids are In, the secretary opens
them and shows the owner of the
sponges the highest I f the price is sat­
isfactory the pile is sold.
These sales are held on Tuesday and
Friday of each week, during the season,
which runs from Oct. 1 to June 1.
In Tarpon Springs there are eight
large packing bouses preparing sponges
for the market. Last season *750,000
was paid for sponges by representatives
of jobbing houses in all parts of the
United States and Europe, and this sea­
son's harvest will show a large Increase.

An automobilist was reading the
other day of the device of the Mar­
quis de ; -'on, who fixed up a racer-like
automobile with a puny motor and had
the laugh on the gendarme who arrest­
ed him for violating the speed law.
'T h a t reminds me of the experience
of a friend of mine,” he said to a New
York Sun reporter. 'T w o years ago
this friend had a runabout with bucket
seats and a twenty-four horse-power
motor.
“The car was painted red and he
oouldn't go two blocks without getting
held up. So be decided to change the
color and had the car painted a demure
gray.
“Then be used to be held np because
the police said that It was a Vanderbilt
cup racer. Finally he had It painted
black and hasn't bad so much trouble.
“ I have always believed that If a
man bad a car with a long bonnet
wblch looked as If It covered 100 horse­
power and wore a skull cap and goggles
and drove leaning 'way forward, he'd
get arrested If be were going three
miles an hour.
I think there are
enough Instances to prove it.”

Charles Dickens the younger wrote In­

out of copyright. The Introduction to
“ Edwin Drood” will be of special In­
